The heavenly Father instructed us to pray. We see the importance of prayer in the Bible. And maybe we even realize how much power prayer holds in our lives and the spiritual world. So why aren't we praying more? Why isn't prayer revolutionizing our lives? In her book and study, "Pursuing Prayer, Penny Cooke unpacks how Jesus instructed us to pray in Matthew 6. Penny offers fresh insight on a familiar passage often called "The Lord's Prayer." If you really believe prayer works, changes things and people, calls down heaven to earth, and changes the person praying; or you want to be known as a person of prayer, then this is the Bible study for you.

This is a must-have book about the necessity of prayer in the life of a Christ follower! Penny dives deep into scripture to point out how God intended it to be used in our relationship with Him, and how essential prayer is for connecting to Him, and accomplishing His will in the world and our own lives. Penny gives practical, easy to implement tips and advice for integrating intentional prayer time into your every day, busy life! I learned so many new things about prayer from scripture that I never knew were there!

Penny's Biblical knowledge and understanding are displayed on every page of this book. The book is filled with stories, verses, tips, and guidance on how to develop a strong and powerful prayer life. Great scriptural references and thought-provoking questions. I recommend this Bible Study to anyone looking for a study they can do independently or within a group study.

I found myself glazing over through much of this book. I had hoped it would be more of an inspiration, but it was very typical writing for a book in prayer. Nothing new and inspiring for me, but it was an ok read.
