Guy M. Richard's concise, practical guide encourages believers toward heartfelt, consistent communion with God, and treats prayer as a means of grace rather than a spiritual technique to be mastered.

The book works as a primer for pastors, elders, study groups and any Christian looking for instruction on prayer and its blessings, with the emphasis falling on persistence: the praying that continues when nothing appears to be happening. Part of the Blessings of the Faith series, with discussion questions included.
