You have God’s ear. Every time you pray, the maker of the universe bends to listen. The one holding together every atom wants to hear your voice. Prayer is an astonishing gift. But how do we actually do it? And what exactly is the point?

Prayer by Tim Keller is a modern classic on the subject, and for good reason. Keller accessibly explores the power and practice of talking with God, drawing from scripture, church history, and personal experience. The purpose? To help us cultivate a richer, more intimate prayer life.

Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala is part autobiography, part call to arms. It retells how the Holy Spirit transformed the struggling Brooklyn Tabernacle into a thriving church through the power of prayer. Cymbala urges us to seek God earnestly, especially in times of weakness and desperation. It’s a stirring read for anyone longing for hope and renewal in the church today.

A Praying Life by Paul Miller impacted me like few other books. I read it at nineteen, and the opening chapters hit me hard. Miller offers a down-to-earth, honest look at the struggles and joys of prayer and invites readers to approach God as children would a loving father - honestly, persistently, and dependently.

I’d recommend to anyone who wants to experience more of God but has become jaded and quietly sceptical.
