How Are You Praying?: A Manual on the Practice of Prayer

by Donald E. Demaray

Previously published under the title Alive to God through Prayer, this book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the current prayer needs of Christians. Demaray offers an enlightening study of how prayer works and explains how any Christian can develop a richer prayer life. Here you will learn how to establish a personal pattern of prayer, how to pray for specific needs (growth, healing, revival, etc.), how to lead a prayer group, how to pray with your family, and much more. One chapter entitled Especially for Ministers and Prayer Group Leaders gives a wealth of practical suggestions to help Christian leaders enrich the prayer life of their congregations. A section of discussion questions at the end of each chapter will prompt you to think further and try some of the prayer methods Demaray describes. These questions also can serve as a springboard for group discussions.
