About this book

Murray treats prayerlessness as sin and urges Christians to seek deliverance through God’s grace, cultivating persevering prayer, obedience, and fellowship with the Father. Opening with the personal confession of prayerlessness, he draws on the examples of Jesus, Paul, George Müller, and Hudson Taylor, and links the life of prayer with Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and taking up the cross.
