Prayer

"Some churches now advertise courses on how to pray. How ridiculous! That is like giving a course on how to fall in love." --A. W. Tozer
Tozer understood prayer as few do: as a way of life. This volume will help readers capture that same grand vision.
With biblical wisdom and stunning insight, Tozer warns us of the barrenness of busyness--of "hurting ourselves where we cannot afford it." He urges us to commune regularly with God and offers varied reflections on what that entails.
With added commentary and reflection questions, Prayer compels us not just to pray, but to have a life that prays.

A. W. TOZER began his lifelong pursuit of God at the age of seventeen after hearing a street preacher. He never attended high school or seminary--his spiritual understanding came from the power of the Word and the power of the Spirit. While serving as a pastor and magazine editor, he wrote prolifically about basic spiritual disciplines and their relationship to contemporary life. His powerful use of words continues to grip the intellect and stir the soul of today's reader.
