Prayer is the most important experience of life, for prayer brings God into the equation. Most people feel their prayer life is very deficient. The cause of their prayerlessness is often that they do not know HOW to pray. Simply Prayer is designed as a practical, Biblical primer on prayer. You will learn why we should pray, how to pray, when to pray, what to pray along with what hinders prayer and what helps prayer. Filled with practical illustrations and true-life stories, it is a simple, but profound work for anyone who wants to be motivated to pray and pray effectively.
Bill Elliff has a pastor’s heart. That is evident in this book. He wants people to know what they have been missing if they haven’t been praying. He doesn’t just teach us the mechanics of prayer or give us a to-do list. He whets our appetite for praying. His writing is simple and direct, and he uses home-spun, personal anecdotes to illustrate the prayer life. This book challenged me to pray without laying on a guilt trip. Group discussion questions appear at the end of the book, helping to make it a great resource for people to work through together.
