Quiet Talks on Prayer

I've read a number of books on prayer... many of them good; but this one is far and away the best. The author is scriptural, logical and, in my opinion, easy to understand (one reviewer thought the sentences were too long?).

I will not be letting this series out of my library, and look forwards to reading the others.

I thought the author was very specifice in his writing. He gave example after example on each subject he covered. Plus he gave very powerful real life examples of the results of praye
