About the Book

Everyone prays! An RAF chaplain once asked a pilot he was walking across the runway with ?Do you pray?' ?Yes, of course.' he replied ?Well I've never seen you at my chapel services.' ?No, Padre. I only pray when I'm flying - when I am on theground I can cope.' This whole concept, that prayer is for us only when we have reached the end of our human resources, can become absorbed as part of the Christian lifestyle too. How many times when confronted with a problem do we get busy rather than get praying? Typically, someone who isn't a Christian uses prayer to get what they want. Something that will make theirs or others lives easier; happier. God is a genie in the lamp. So when the genie doesn't deliver, god gets jettisoned. Some people argue that prayer is a formula, if you get the ingredients right then answers will abound. The problem with all these approaches is that they put us at the centre. Prayer only works if you put God at the centre - and that's something that fallen humans don't want to do... We don't just need God-centred prayer - we need God-centred trust. Michael handles practical questions about prayer as well as inviting us to change our broad -brush concepts.

About the Author :
Michael Baughen succeeded John Stott as Rector of All Souls, Langham Place, London and went on to become the Bishop of Chester. He speaks from the experience of pastoring both church members and leaders.

Review :
"Every Christian's prayer life, like every good marriage, has in it common factors about which we can generalise, and unique elements which no other Christian's prayer life quite matches. You are you, and I am I, and since we each must find our own way with God, no book on prayer can work for us like a do-it-yourself manual or cookbook, whose publishers tell us that if we follow the instructions exactly we can't go wrong. In relationships - and prayer is a relationship - it is never like that. Books on prayer... are meant to strike sparks off our imaginations... This wise, warm-hearted, down-to-earth book could greatly enrich our praying and thereby get us growing again." "Any Christian who wants a more satisfying prayer life will find in this tasty blend of instruction and motivation drawn from scripture and illustrated from life, just the help he needs."
