WE ARE NOT GOOD FOR PRAYER. This is unfortunately true for most of us and it shouldn't surprise us. However, this book does not approach the subject of prayer in a guilty way. Instead of telling us to pray better or pray more often, the author instead shows us why prayer is essential and why we should take full advantage of it.

Drawing on Calvin's definition of "prayer is the primary exercise of faith," Michael Reeves helps us understand that prayer should be a natural expression of our faith. Just as our faith is awakened as we grasp the wonders of the gospel, prayer should be our heart's response to these glorious truths.

Rediscovering the joy of praying is a small matter a pleasant book to read which makes us understand that prayer should not be a duty to be performed, but rather a gift to be savored.

- SYLVIO JANELLE, pastor of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Saint George

Pour un partage en groupe

J'ai bien aimé ce petit livre .Simple mais utile. Il nous rappelle que Dieu est notre Père et que l' on peut s' approcher de lui en tout temps. Nous faisons une petite étude de groupe sur Zoom. Intéressant de partager entre frères et soeurs avant de prendre un temps pour prier ensemble.
