5.0 out of 5 stars KEY TO PRAYER: THY WILL BE DONE, O LORD, January 27, 2002

By	B.D. (Maryland) - See all my reviews

Hank has done the Christian world and all those who would consider Christianity a monumental favor with this book about
Prayer and praying Jesus' way.

He points out that prayer is not trying to get God to change His mind or will, but to change US to conform to His already perfect will and purpose for the Kingdom and our role in it.

The LORD's Prayer is simply the cornerstone to effective prayer in the life of the believer, not a rote formula or recitation to get God to automatically respond. It is a model, a framework of what proper, God pleasing prayer is all about.

Prayer is not merely about us and our needs of the moment; it is about HIM and HIS WILL. Hank makes the point that the Lord's Prayer starts and ends with God in Heaven, His Kingdom and Glory
and that the purpose of all Christ-honoring prayer is to maximize the glory of the Lord by what we pray, how we pray, the faith/hope we bring to prayer, our expectancy, and how serious we take the two critical factors that end every biblical prayer:
"In Jesus' Name" and "Amen".

Prayer is RELATIONSHIP, not just realization of our needs/wants.
"Our Father" sets the tone for what true prayer is all about.
Hank does a great job in showing that our walk with Christ determines Who our true Father is and how the mutual love relationship plays itself out in the Family of God. It's not what we can get out of God that counts, but what He can get into us of His Spirit and being filled with His love and presence.
It's 'Presence' over 'Presents'.

Finally, this book is a great corrective to many misunderstood
beliefs about Prayer of Jabez, for example, which many folks try to use as a formula for blessing rather than a template of a godly life lived in proper relationship with the One we pray to.
While God is more eager to bless/grant prayers than we are inclined to ask, we still need to ask aright,putting first things first: Our Father must come first and His will prevail.
Why would we want to receive any less than God's best for us?

This book will literally revolutionize your prayer life. When we prayerfully draw closer to Abba Father, becoming more Christ-like
in the process of a life of prayer, we are filled with the Spirit
and find more of our prayers answered as conforming more and more
to His perfect will. When we receive more of the Giver Himself,
the gifts/blessings come along as added benefits, but if we focus on the gifts/blessings, we lose out on deeper communion/
intimacy with the Giver, the Lover of our souls.

Makes an excellent gift and is one of those rare books that should be read multiple times in a year for maximum blessing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Real prayer, August 21, 2001

By	Susie Wheeler "shopwithsusie" - See all my reviews

This book is awsome. It goes into great detail about why and how we should pray. It explains that Jesus is the prime example for prayer and even breaks down the lords prayer itself. It answers hard questions like, why doesn't the Lord always answer our prayers right away? or why does he not answer it the way we want? While explaining this, it gives scriptural background with verses of the Bible. Above all Hank Hanegraaff makes incredibly strong points which make you think a little;(for example how we need to focus on the approval of the Lord rather then men or how we would be in trouble if God really gave us everything we asked for). Hanegraaff shows why we need to ask God questions, even though He already knows them, and why we praise him even though He already knows we love Him. The reason I enjoyed the book was because it backed up what it said. It tells us how to be intimate with God and who better to follw then the master Himself,Jesus Christ. Thats why I rated this book a five

5.0 out of 5 stars The author lives like he writes, October 4, 2001

By	G. Passantino (Costa Mesa, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since Hank Hanegraaff is a personal friend, I watched as this book took shape over several months. I was impressed that Hank is as candid in his writing as he is in his personal life. He is not embarrassed about his failings nor boastful about his triumphs. He looks for the lessons God has for him in each event of his life. This makes The Prayer of Jesus an exceptionally valuable book for people to learn how praying like Jesus told us to can transform our lives. Even if he were not a friend, and even if I had not seen the book develop, I would still highly recommend it as a challenging and encouraging introduction to the importance of a Christ-centered, prayerful life. There are not false promises of quick fixes, material prosperity, or spiritual breakthroughs without discipline, commitment, or time. Thankfully, the book focuses on the daily practices that turn neophyte believers into mature Christian role models. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is serious about putting God first.
