Review:
I have no problems with what Pastor Hayford says in any part of this book. However, it's a pretty dry read. There are several parts where I feel like I have no idea what he was writing about and had to re-read it several times just to get through it. It's not a terribly difficult concept, but a very difficult book to read.

I felt like the book never really got to the point of the title. It tells you lots of things that are revealed in Scripture regarding prayer but doesn't give you really any tips or help to learn to pray yourself. I think the addition of a study/prayer guide would have been very helpful.

I received a copy of the book from Chosen Books in exchange for an honest review. No additional compensation has been received.
