Reaching Heaven: Discovering the Cornerstones of Jesus' Prayer Life

In studying about the prayer life of Jesus, it re-energized my own prayer life. The great need my Lord exhibited for a need to pray--oh, how much more do I need to pray. This book was an inspiration for me and one I will read again.

Brenda Poinsett has written a book, masterfully teaching us more about prayer from the Master Himself. The author has divided the contexts of Jesus' prayers into four elements and then broken down these elements again to aid us in developing a deeper prayer life with God. Key phrase: If Christ had not felt the need to pray, He might seem to us, especially in the light of His sinlessness, an impressive and awesome figure, but He would not seem close to our lives. We need to pray, and we will learn more from Him when we acknowledge that He, too, needed to pray. (page 17)
