“These careful, balanced, and well-reasoned volumes will occupy an important place on the book stalls of Presbyterian and Reformed churches. We need short, accessible books written by thoughtful, seasoned pastors for regular members on the foundational elements of church life and ministry. That’s what we need, and that’s what this series delivers: wise answers to many of the church’s most practical and pressing questions.”

“Most Christians know that we should pray, that we ought to pray, that we need to pray. What we really need sometimes is a wise mentor to encourage us along the way so that we actually take up the practice of prayer. Guy Richard is such a mentor. Graciously, winsomely, compellingly, he prods us along the path of lifting our desires to our good and gracious God, knowing that he does, and will, answer our prayers for his glory. Here’s a rich source of encouragement to spend time with our loving God!”

“Guy Richard’s book on prayer may be small, but its impact on the heart is mighty. It not only encourages but also equips the reader to cry out to God in prayer. Be prepared: after reading this book, you’ll want to pray big, God-honoring prayers.”

“It sounds axiomatic, but God answers prayer. If for no other reason, we should pray more. Guy Richard offers to the church a clear and encouraging path to reclaim and revive prayer as the grace of pleading with God. Honestly, I don’t pray as much or as earnestly as I should. I fear most would give a similar confession. Yet this book does not indict as much as it encourages. It is written not from the lofty perches of the academy but from the humble heart of one hungry to know God. When you read this book, you will find one who—like you—struggles to pray and yet rejoices to know that God graciously welcomes and answers our prayers.”
