Description: Petition has always stood at the heart of the manner in which evangelicals pray. But why is petitionary prayer important? Grenz presents petitionary prayer as a crucial aspect of the coming of God's kingdom on Earth and challenges the contemporary church to recapture what it means to be a church that prays.
Review Quotes: Review & Expositor
"A helpful guide for those who believe that prayer is a learned activity. . . A great help for pastors, small group leaders, and youth ministers."
--from the foreword
"We no longer live in a praying world.. Meanwhile, Christians pray. But if we are to continue to pray out of the center of our lives, and not just timidly or occasionally from the margins, we need to take deliberate measures to counter the dismissal and trivialization of prayer that characterize our culture.. This book is such a measure, a deliberate counter to the assumptions of our culture that life is all about us, all about what we can do."
