My Review:
This is a very eye opening read about prayer written by a very eloquent pastor raised by his parents that just happened to be missionary's during the Great Depression. The author's parents knew all about an effective prayer life and what it means to be a diligent child of God. The author has taken questions that I'm sure we have all had concerning prayer, and given us a more thorough Bible based understanding in the hopes that our prayers will become more effective.

 Anytime you are in need you should most definitely be in prayer. But I try my best to talk to the Father on a regular basis not just about things I need but to vent as well and to also let Him know how much I appreciate and love Him. He is after all my Daddy, and isn't that what Dads are for anyway?

 This book is exactly what is needed during this time especially the way the world is right now. God is waiting for us and it is safe to rely on Him. He has our bests interests at heart.
