Die Gebete in diesem Buch stammen aus dem größtenteils vergessenen Fundus puritanischer geistlicher Übungen und Meditationen. Sie bezeugen den Reichtum und die Farbe des puritanischen Gedankenguts und dessen Sprache, die einem wichtigen Teil des englischen religiösen Lebens eine lebendige Frömmigkeit eingehaucht hat.

Viele damalige Geistliche rieten ihren Versammlungen, private Gebetsgedanken zu Papier zu bringen und auszusprechen.

Through the prayers in the Bible we look into the profoundest issues of life and death, and the deepest longings of our own hearts. And we learn about the God to whom we pray. In this classic book on prayer, John White helps us listen to Abraham plead for Sodom and Gomorrah. We watch Jacob wrestle with the Angel of the Lord. We hear David confess his sin. We also see him dance before the ark of the covenant. We hear Hannah ask for a child. Finally, John White shows how Jesus' prayers on the cross present a model for facing our last hours as well.

Going back to the basics, best-selling author and pastor Jack Hayford teaches that prayer is person-to-Person communication - a combination of worship, fellowship, and intercession. He teaches that the Bible's call to prayer is neither mystical nor theoretical, and he gives seven simple steps, as outlined by Jesus, on how to pray. He also gives three keys to effective asking in prayer and attacking through prayer.

Frequently our prayers begin with a petition or request, so the content of our prayers is informed by our circumstances. But what if the opposite were true? What if we allowed our prayers to inform our lives? What would our lives be like if prayer altered our living and began to shape the contours and content of our daily experiences?
