Written by an internationally respected biblical scholar, this book shows how the Bible speaks of prayer as a way of living in connection with God. It is full of fresh biblical insights and down-to-earth advice, and contains an illuminating chapter on the meaning of the Lord's Prayer. There are also helpful summaries and points for reflection or discussion at the ends of chapters.

'Prayer' is a word that is used in a number of different ways. This book aims to show that prayer should be understood as inseparable from Christianity, in the sense that to practise Christianity is to practise prayer and vice versa.
