"Pray without ceasing," the Apostle Paul commanded the Thessalonians and also hurried, harried, stressed-out twentieth-century westerners. From her lifetime experience as a prayer warrior, Edith Schaeffer tells how even busy moderns can develop a life of prayer. She deals with questions people have struggled with for ages: How can I be real in prayer? If God is sovereign, what difference will my prayers make? Is fasting for today? What if God doesn't answer?

Stories of great men and women of God from the past offer examples, challenge, and encouragement. Great prayers are presented as models to inspire our praying.

What happens in the prayer closet is important, but we can also dedicate our daily activities and our work to God. We can offer praise through creating music, poetry, paintings, sculpture, landscape designs, home decorations, and books for God's glory. Here is practical and spiritual insight into this mystical communion available to God's people.
