Discover the Power and the Passion
A great champion of prayer once compared the praying Christian to a blacksmith stoking his fire. It's in the intimacy of prayer—when we're alone with God—that we keep the iron hot and God skillfully refines and shapes us. And like the blacksmith trade, prayer is not for those timid of work. Intercession is a difficult, perplexing, and solitary battle that is won or lost from one moment to the next. But the battle to pray is worth fighting. Prayer achors the soul while lifting us to the very throne of God. It's the language of heaven and the key to unleashing God's power in our lives. In Alone with God, John MacArthur explores the anatomy of effective prayer and presents a refreshing, biblical model you can begin following today. A powerful tool for greater fervency and frequency in your communcion with the Lord, Alone with God is the primer on prayer you'll turn to again and again!
