Book Description
"Can prayer actually do something to make life different and better?"
Prayer 101 explores this question in different ways. It begins with an invitation by God to pray, demonstrating that God desires to have a dialogue with us. Readers will find themselves in conversation with writers from many perspectives, and ultimately, in conversation with the One who invites prayer. Don Aycock's skillful and friendly style is much like a tour guide, walking readers through the landscape of prayer, concentrating on the highlights. He looks at what pray er is not in order to better understand what it is. Examining several key passages of scripture, Aycock opens them up to discover what prayer does to us and to those around us.
