Excellent book to read especially if don't understand why you haven't seen the results you have been trusting the Lord for.

It opens a new window to look at the meaning of a prayer. I enjoyed it.

Awesome. I think one of my favourites by Philip Yancey. Will definitely be reading it again.

This is the most fantastic book on prayer I've ever found. It makes you want to drop the book and pray! Goes through all the questions and difficulties. Read it please!!!

Very inspiring.

Philip Yancy has the ability to explore what most of us are thinking. Tremendous!
