“ Jesus reminds us that true prayer is a matter of the heart and must be free of show and self-glorification.” (Page xi)
“Prayer involves so much more than just asking. In fact, it is much more than words. It is first and foremost a way of life before God marked by living in a humble and loving relationship with God. If there is a key to prayer, it is not, as is so often said, faith, but righteousness.” (Page xiii)
“We should build into our lives times of deep communication and worship.” (Page 5)
“Books cannot solve the mystery of prayer: how God hears, why God listens, what’s effective. We don’t seek to give you all the answers; we seek to help you dig in and discover the Person, the Power, and the Process of this mystery called prayer. This book begins with three assumptions of faith: God is good, His Word is true, and Christians should pray.” (Page xiv)
“Never before had our Lord laid such stress on any promise or command—never! This truly marvelous promise is given us six times over. Six times, almost in the same breath, our Savior commands us to ask whatsoever we will. This is the greatest—the most wonderful—promise ever made to man. Yet most men—Christian men—practically ignore it! Is it not so?” (Page 8)
