Author Ole Hallesby understands the complexity and the simplicity of prayer, relaying that Prayer is not using God for our own means but rather prayer is dependence, openness, trust, and listening.In Prayer: Expanded Edition, the author explains different forms of prayer as helpful touch points, and he doesn't shy away from discussing the difficulties of prayer, prayer being work, wrestling in prayer, and the misuse of prayer. This eye-opening and refreshing narrative brings focus back to God's intentional desire to listen and richly bless his children with peace and joy. A helpful study guide in the back of the book helps readers get the most out of Hallesby's insightful text, allowing the book to be used for personal meditation or group study.

    Keep it handy, read it, study it, be familiar with the contents, and then pull it out for those times when life is confusing and raw. When you’re struggling with life, grab this book, turn to the Psalm that fits your moment and find hope on God’s lap. Christian hope is not a longing or yearning for God to help; it is not waiting for the slim chance that things may get better. Genuine hope is the confidence that God is in your life, now and forever, and that nothing can separate you from his love. Hope is the confident expectation, the sure certainty that what God has promised, he will deliver. This book examines ten Psalms that all have the common thread of helping us find hope in the midst of difficulty. I pray that as you enter into the emotions and experience the truths of these Psalms, you will be filled with hope as I have.Show More Show Less
