Prayer 101

by Warren W. Wiersbe

Overview

The disciples once asked Jesus, “Teach us to pray.” Like us, they had questions about why and how God calls us to pray.

In Prayer 101, Dr. Warren Wiersbe addresses our deepest questions about prayer and gives us practical tools for incorporating prayer into our lives. He explores God’s will, how our relationships with God and others affect our prayers, and what it means to pray for our enemies. Throughout this deeply spiritual book, Dr. Wiersbe points us away from legalism and toward joy as we practice the daily rhythm of conversation with God.
