The disciples once asked Jesus, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ (Luke 11:1). Many Christians struggle with the concept of praying, while knowing that it is essential to pray. Learning the Language of Prayer takes us back to basics and reassures us that we can come to God just as we are and pray as we can. Prayer is simply communicating with God, and we can learn how and can grow in confidence as we do so.

This book is for beginners and those who have been praying for years alike: there is always more to discover about prayer and fresh stimulus to be gained. Each short section consists of several ‘bite sized’ chapters, touching on topics such as where to pray, how to pray, intercession, fasting, meditation, contemplation, petition, confession and forgiveness, including plenty of practical and inspirational examples, scripture passages, projects and prayers. Here is a simple manual which will set us free to enjoy the great gift of God; an ever deepening relationship with himself. This is the essence of true prayer.
