Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Initimacy with God by Timothy Keller - A Book Review

   

Wanting a more vital prayer life? Needing greater focus during your time with God? Going through a dry season? Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God may be just the resource you need. Did you know that even back in the 1500s Martin Luther wrote about his method for meditation that helped him to focus and warm his heart inclining it toward prayer? He recognized even without all of our modern distractions how easily prayer is put off in order to attend to this or that. Augustine wrote to a Roman noblewoman in the 5^th century about the importance of ordering our heart's loves, our priorities. Our struggles with maintaining a rich prayer life are not as unique to our 21^st century lives as we may have thought. Author Timothy Keller offers biblical guidance for a more personal, powerful prayer life. I highly recommend this book, and am grateful that my husband and I were gifted a copy from our son and his family this past Christmas.
