Prayer: The Great Conversation : Straight Answers to Tough Questions About Prayer2 reviews

+ Tells you what you need to know

This book does a good job of explaining how and why to pray in clear language. Many common objections to praying and misconceptions about praying are addressed. The dialogue format can be cheesy and annoying, but don't let that stop you from reading a book full of valuable insights.
