Transforming Prayer: How Everything Changes When You Seek God's Face
Praying Christians are hungry to learn how to connect with God in a way that takes them beyond the typical grocery-list approach.

With captivating stories of the transformative power of personal worship and its connection with prayer, this book equips readers with practical tools for a more effective personal and corporate prayer life.

When you experience the profound difference of worship-based prayer, your faith and life will never be the same.

I've read a some books on prayer, but this is definitely the best one. In our church, we have used the book to transform our prayer lives, and the focus has shifted heavily from being us-centered to being God-centered. Definitely recommend this book.
