Basing her teaching upon the experiences of the prophet Elijah, Jill Briscoe introduces biblical concepts to ignite your passion for prayer. A realist, she understands that prayer is rarely undertaken in ideal conditions. So she includes lessons on: the art of leaving things undone; learning to pray in the middle of the muddle; sleep deprivation is better than God deprivation; going through the wall; learning to pray in the dark. Each chapter includes prayers you can make your own, a journal with questions to guide your growth in prayer, directions for prayers that work and suggestions for activities that will mesh with your prayers.
