Why We Pray
by William J U Philip
Prayer is foundational to the Christian life, but many people don't understand it.What is it for? How does it work? Why do we do it? This short and accessible book explains what prayer is, why it exists and how it can encourage us in our life of faith.
Written by a pastor with years of teaching and counselling experience, Why We Pray doesn't simply tell readers why they should pray, but instead focuses on four blessing-filled reasons that will help us want to pray. Rather than feeling discouraged and disheartened by our inconsistency in prayer, we feel reinvigorated to approach God with confidence and joy, delighted by the privilege of talking directly to our heavenly Father.

“There are not many books on prayer, and there are fewer good books on prayer. Here is a handbook on the subject that combines clarity and brevity and provides us with a thoroughly biblical and understandable framework for prayer. I commend it enthusiastically.”
“Wonderfully refreshing, biblically realistic, and personally motivational - this book cuts through the stereotypes and guilt about prayer and presents us with our amazing privileges. It will do your heart good!”
