The marketplace offers an enormous number of books and guides on the single
subject of prayer. Some are well intentioned, but lack biblical structure or even
adequate reference to Scripture. Others offer a feel-good fuzziness without
providing a sense of God’s presence in prayer. The attempt with the following
recommendations is to move past those books that are only superficial in
presentation and to suggest some that help to enhance your prayer life and
provide a more complete understanding of prayer-related subjects. The list is
nowhere near complete and is only a partial list of those I have personally read. I
encourage the sharing from others of book titles regarding prayer that have been
read and found to be informative from a biblical perspective. – David Gillis
