PrayerTimothy KellerTim Keller was one of the most influential Christian thinkers, apologists, and strategists of the 20th century. He died of cancer in 2023 but a significant part of his legacy is this book on prayer. He wrote the book out of his own struggles in this area of life, regretting that he only truly discovered how to pray in his 50s. He viewed prayer as part of the conversation which God initiates and the process of "answering God". He suggests we understand what we know of God, what we know of ourselves, and pray these things to a God who hears when his people speak to him. When we do this it revolutionises our relationship with God and deepens our Christian experience.
