Writing to encourage believers, Murray desired that all Christians discover the abundant life in Christ available to those who pray fervently. Identifying prayerlessness as a serious sin of omission, he instructs sincere believers in how to be delivered from this sin and make prayer a priority, resulting in the blessing of renewed fellowship with Christ. Originally titled The Prayer Life, this devotional classic includes examples from the lives of the apostle Paul, George M ller, Hudson Taylor, and more.
This book has changed my outlook on prayer. After reading it I agreed that prayer is not just a time before dinner or bed, but a way of life. It is a vital element to a Christian's life. I like to highlight books on profound subjects, which I started out doing with this book but found that there was very little left that was NOT highlighted! The format is written in such a way that Andrew Murray is leading us page by page closer to an intimate prayer life with Our Savior. It's worth reading this book slowly so that you can really think about what you've read & apply it to your life. Most of the chapters are a few pages so that you can do just that. To me, this book seems like it would be appropriate for more mature Christians, meaning Chrisitans who have a steadfast walk w/Jesus & are familar w/His Word. I could be wrong, maybe baby Christians will find it a blessing, but it may be too "meaty." I loved this book & at this price I bought more as gifts. If you give it as a gift you may want to include a highlighter :-)
