Why a theology of prayer? Because counterfeit prayer abounds, we need Scripture's guidance, writes Thomas Constable. Praying as God desires requires considering what God has revealed about it. As we give prayer our careful attention, we gain greater understanding of what he intends it to be. Constable details the different forms of communication God invites us to use. He identifies the counterfeits that pass for prayer, discusses the conditional nature of prayer, and explains why some prayers seem to go unanswered.
This is the most comprehensive book on prayer that I've read. It tells you the what, why and how of prayer, as well as tackles difficult questions regarding the theology and practical aspects of prayer anyone could think of. What really impresses me is the author based his book on the entire Bible. Unfortunately, it's already out-of-print. So try to get hold of a used copy before it disappears totally. Or you can download its text from here:
