Prayer 101:  Learning to Talk With God

by Don M. Aycock

foreword by Mark Sutton

“Can prayer actually do something to make life different and better?” Prayer 101 explores this question in different ways. It begins with an invitation by God to pray, demonstrating that God desires to have a dialogue with us. Readers will find themselves in conversation with writers from many perspectives, and ultimately, in conversation with the One who invites prayer. Don Aycock ’s skillful and friendly style is much like a tour guide, walking readers through the land­scape of prayer, concentrating on the highlights. He looks at what prayer is not in order to better understand what it is. Examining several key passages of scripture, Aycock opens them up to discover what prayer does to us and to those around us.

“Dr. Aycock’s book about prayer is always clear and interest­ing, often moving, and occasionally (believe it or not) funny. It will help you to pray with honesty and in a fully biblical and Christian way.”

■ Fisher Humphreys, Beeson Divinity School , Samford University

“I have read so many books on prayer over the years that I tend not to get excited about another one. But Don Aycock ’s Prayer 101 is different. It is fresh, it is genuine, it is full of interesting sto­ries, and, above all, it is convincing. It may be called Prayer 101 —it is designed for people at the introductory level—but it is obviously written by an expert!”
