Prayer is an itegral part of the Christian experience yet every believer will at some point struggle with this vital discipline. What You Always Wanted to Know About Prayer offers answers to some frequently asked questions on the topic of prayer. It is not a detailed theological or philosophical exploration of the mysteries of prayer or a manual of the different ways in which we can experience and enjoy this amazing gift from god. In his introduction, Ian Coffey describes his book as "a basic dummy's guide to prayer".

Seven honest and constructive chapters deal with questions we have all asked at one point or another:

Why is prayer important?
Why does prayer seem difficult?
Is there a right way to pray?
Why are some prayers unanswered?
How can I grow in prayer?
What does a praying church look like?
Does prayer change things?

Readers will discover that Christians are called to pray and that prayer need not be a daunting prospect. We probably all have different ways of praying, but that does not matter. If we come to prayer with an open heart and mind we will experience the transforming power of God in our own lives and see it touching the lives of others we pray for.

Ian Coffey, well-known Christian speaker, author and church leader, provides answers to the most frequently asked questions about prayer. The book also includes hints and tips by other well-known Christians, including Rosemary Connelly, Graham Kendrick and Rob Frost.
