Prayer: Communing with God in Everything--Collected Insights from A. W. Tozer - Paperback

by A. W. Tozer (Author), W. L. Seaver (Compiled by)

"Some churches now advertise courses on how to pray. How ridiculous That is like giving a course on how to fall in love." --A. W. Tozer

Tozer understood prayer as few do: as a way of life. Now readers can share that same grand vision.

Prayer combines the best of Tozer on prayer into one volume. Tozer was captured by the great wonder of God, and he regarded prayer as the primary means of coming into His presence. But if our everyday life is filled with the barrenness of busyness and there is no serious urgency to pray, we forfeit the wonder of being conformed to the image of Christ and knowing our God more intimately--the true Christian life.

Prayer is doable. God is accessible. And Tozer provides the wisdom and encouragement to help us encounter Him daily. With commentary and reflection questions provided by compiler W.L. Seaver, Prayer takes our understanding of prayer to new depths and helps us have a life that prays.

Tozer understood prayer as few do: as a way of life. This volume will help readers capture that same grand vision.

With biblical wisdom and stunning insight, Tozer warns us of the barrenness of busyness--of "hurting ourselves where we cannot afford it." He urges us to commune regularly with God and offers varied reflections on what that entails.

With added commentary and reflection questions, Prayer compels us not just to pray, but to have a life that prays.
