Biblical prayer is not an afterthought or an add-on -- it's a lifestyle. Prayer is more than a "tip of the hat" to God before a meal. It is more than a verbal punctuation to end a worship service. Our prayer life matters. It is the lifeblood of our relationship with God.

Richard Thompson has studied prayer and practiced prayer -- the who, what, when, where, why, and how of prayer. He has carefully researched the biblical patterns and models that teach us about our prayer life today. This book will guide you toward a stronger prayer life and serve as an extensive resource on the topic of prayer when you're done. Invest in your prayer life and God will answer from "the secret place of thunder."
