Well written, easy to read, informative and inspiring book.
I like to read books about prayer. I find it uplifting and useful. Uplifting because I am reading about talking to God and useful because it inspires my prayer life.
If you don’t have a prayer life this book will inspire you to start one. If you are already consistently praying this book will inspire you to keep it up and also help you refine what you do.
The author makes it easy for you to start praying and to keep going. Prayer should not be a heavy burden on you it should be joyful and something that you are attracted to do. The author lets you understand that.
How to talk to God, what should you pray for, and how did Jesus pray are some of the chapter headings in the book.
So if you are looking for something that will help you to start praying or something that will help you to keep going, this book will help and support to you.
There is a small discussion about speaking in tongues, which I wasn’t interested in, but it is only a few lines in a well written, easy to read, informative and inspiring book.

JD Meyers only references one author (C.S Lewis) and spends much of the book referencing all his other books and resources.
I’ve only been a Christian 8 weeks and didn’t just find this too basic but also some of what he says is ‘off’ to say the least:
Talking about sinning on page 29, he describes God like this….
With a sparkle in his eyes and a half smile on his lips he says, ‘I can’t believe you fell for that again.’
‘Too busy not to pray’ by Bill Hybels is a much better book, referencing both the Bible and other authors with no self promotion.
In context, in the past 8 weeks this is the lowest rating I’ve given a Christian book.
Avoid.
