Why get this book

If you believe prayer matters but rarely make time for it, this short book will gently convict you. J. C. Ryle, an important English preacher, writes about the importance and necessity of prayer in the Christian life, and invites readers into a closer relationship with God. It's brief enough to read in an evening and strong enough to change your habits. It's a classic for anyone stuck in a prayer rut. Honest note: Ryle writes in direct, older English, so his bluntness may feel strong to modern ears. Next step: read Luke 18:1 and set a time to pray tomorrow morning.
