food4thougt has a three-post series on prayer, each inspired by a different book:
School of Prayer 1 – inspired by the chapter “What True Prayer Is” from John Bunyan’s Prayer
School of Prayer 2: “Why Should We Pray?” – inspired by chapter 3, “Why Pray” from Prayer and the Voice of God by Phillip Jensen and Tony Payne (you can order it by going here and searching for the title)
School of Prayer 3: “Why Don’t We Pray?” – inspired by chapter 7, “Excuses for not praying” from A Call to Spiritual Reformation by D. A. Carson
Excellent food for thought.
