'When we face our inner poverty and feel the desolation of the times, how should we pray?' This book is Tim Keller's theory of confessional prayer.

Dreaming of ‘proper prayer’
This book is the result of the author taking time to reflect on his prayer life amidst the hardships of life while suffering from thyroid cancer, and intensely applying and training what he learned and explored about prayer through Psalms for over two years. am. Let’s accept the invitation of the author who succeeded in finding the path to joy beyond duty.

Absence of prayer causes spiritual poverty
The modern era can be said to be an era of absence of prayer. It is not easy to find quiet time alone through the Internet or SNS. There is more prayerlessness than ever before. In the book, the author uses an example from his wife to tell us how a life without prayer deteriorates our spiritual health.
“Suppose your doctor tells you that your condition is critical and that if you don’t take this medicine by 11:11 to 15:XNUMX every night, you will die in the morning. Then you will never miss that time. “I won’t say I’m too tired or I’m watching a movie so I don’t have time.” If we do not pray like this, our souls will quickly become exhausted.

From ‘praying just for myself’ to ‘praying for the kingdom of God’
If we remain in a position of prayer only for our own success, our family, and our church, this book will broaden our eyes. It not only leads to a mystical experience of encountering God in a personal way, but also to a place of prayer for the glory of God and the kingdom of God. Like David, the prayers that move forward with our problems turn into prayers that hope for the presence of God's glory, praise that His kingdom will last forever, and hope that His glory fills the whole earth. Like David, he confesses, “One thing I have desired from the Lord, that is what I will seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, beholding the beauty of the Lord and longing for it in his temple.”

Learn prayer from the famous prayers of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin
Prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. While reading through numerous books that guide how to pray prayerfully, the author introduces us to the prayer guides who challenged him the most. It briefly but introduces key principles to the prayer methods of Augustine, Martin Luther, John Owen, and John Calvin.
While reading this part 3, readers will be amazed and think, ‘Ah, they are these people after all.’ Readers will not miss the part where Augustine introduces the principles of prayer in detail through a letter he sent to Anikia Prova, a Christian woman who lost her husband and became single in her early thirties. In addition, you can see the practical prayer guidelines given to Martin Luther, who said that there is no day when he does not pray for more than three hours, to his barber who was exiled for murder, and through Calvin's Institutes of Christianity, you can see the principles of true prayer that were held in awe. there is.

Pray with the Word
The author trains himself by directly applying the principles he discovered. You learn the language of prayer just as you learn a language, and since the Bible's prayer book is Psalms, the author began his prayer life by immersing himself in the Psalms.
In particular, I found that meditating on the Word helped me the most. Just as Martin Luther said to warm your heart by meditating on the Bible and then enter prayer, the author says that skipping meditation is the biggest reason that hinders our prayer life.
If there is no meditation, we end up pleading and supplicating, and not much praise and confession. When our hearts are warm, we praise God and then repent.

A book that makes us pray!
A rare ‘theological, liturgical, pastoral, and practical’ guide to prayer.
Just as Tim Keller found 'a path past duty to joy' in prayer, this book will make us pray. Add depth to our prayers with this book.

[Recommendation]

“Tim Keller’s Prayer” is a book born during hardship. It is also the fruit of the prayer quest that the author began with his wife while fighting cancer. This book is an easy-to-read yet in-depth guide to prayer. It is a book that is faithful to the basics, but at the same time covers prayer in depth and breadth. This book, which contains explorations of prayer by outstanding spiritualists, is like a deep well of spirituality. Tim Keller's books have never disappointed. I recommend this book to those who want to experience God more deeply through prayer.
Junmin Kang_ Senior Pastor, LA New Life Vision Church

There would be no pastor or believer who would not agree that the Word and prayer are the mainstays of Christian growth. However, not many people truly know how to enjoy the Word and prayer. Instead, magical prayers, impersonal prayers, worldly prayers, and prayers that produce answers take the place of true prayer in the Bible. For this reason, our believers and church communities are weak. Tim Keller's Prayer, like his other books, is rooted in the Bible, searches for precedents in Christian history, ponders in contemporary situations, and is full of wisdom derived from his own experiences. It will be a valuable guide for those who want to learn prayer, those who want to enjoy it properly, and those who want to teach it properly.

Many books explain the benefits of prayer, but it is difficult to find books that actually lead us to a place of prayer. Pay attention to Tim Keller’s message. His cries have extraordinary power. His sermon on prayer does not stop with our head understanding, but leads us to a place where we kneel and put our hands together.
Kim Kwan-seong_ Senior pastor of Deokeun Baptist Church

The thing we say most as Christians is probably ‘I will pray.’ But 'what is prayer?' There are not many cases where a question is answered properly. So I was very happy to hear that Pastor Tim Keller's book on 'Prayer' was being published. I am confident that through this book, we will clearly understand how God speaks to us and how we should respond to the Lord, and move forward with what the Bible calls 'prayer.' You will learn everything about prayer.
Moon Ae-ran_ CEO of G&M Global Cultural Foundation

For a while, I read books about prayer one after another. He also prayed for several years, keeping a prayer journal. However, his prayer life did not grow in proportion to his years of faith. There have been ups and downs in my prayer life. Or rather, I would say that it was generally dull or trapped in ‘spiritual boredom.’ Then he read Tim Keller's Prayer. This book is a rare guide to prayer that is “both theological and empirical and methodological.” Based on the experiential prayer life he learned amidst the illness that befell him and his wife, it encompasses both theological and methodological approaches. In particular, the prayer theology and practical prayer principles of Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Calvin in “Part 3, Learning to Pray” opened up the air in my frustratingly blocked prayer life. Since reading the book, I have been praying along with Luther’s ‘Variations on the Lord’s Prayer.’
Ok Myung-ho_ Editor-in-Chief of 〈Gospel and Situation〉

In the Korean church, which is known as a church that prays a lot and prays hard, Tim Keller asks, 'What is proper prayer?' The topic is being raised. It is true that prayer is the answer to all problems, but it must be the right prayer according to God's will. Instead of teaching what proper prayer is, Tim Keller shares with his readers what he learned about prayer through a crisis in his life. So his book is very practical. At the same time, it does not rely on experience, but speaks solid truth based on the Bible and the teachings of pioneers of faith. If prayers open their hearts to the Lord and read this book, they will realize that resting in a loving relationship with the Lord and praying to win the kingdom of God are not separate but ultimately one prayer. I believe that the 'unity of prayer' proposed in this book will greatly contribute to the unity and unity of the Korean church.
Yoo Ki-seong_ Senior Pastor, Good Shepherd Church

Every Christian has a fundamental question about prayer buried deep within him. 'When we face our inner poverty and feel the desolation of the times, how should we pray?' This book is Tim Keller's theory of confessional prayer. He does not attempt to teach his prayers, but invites them to be his companions in his own quest. I believe that the questions he wrestled with and the religious-theological horizons he reached will give many people the courage to begin praying again.
Yang Hee-song_ CEO of Cheongeoram Academy

If you are starting to pray, this book is the best guide. If you have missed the path of prayer, this book is a clear signpost. If prayer is a dark tunnel, this book is the light at the end. This book will be a great help in learning and practicing prayer properly. Tim Keller's Prayer teaches us how to maintain awe and intimacy with God, and points the way through the valley of prayer to the summit of prayer.
Jo Jung-min_ Pastor at Basic Church

This book convincingly demonstrates the nature and reality of prayer. This is an excellent book to help modern people who are easily distracted and unable to pray learn about prayer and have a comfortable fellowship with the Lord. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend this book, which restores the joy and emotion of prayer.
Hwa Jong-bu_ Senior pastor of Namseoul Church

[Praise from Amazon readers]
I find my daily prayer life very difficult. It is difficult to concentrate and pray, and even if I do concentrate, I feel like my prayers are insignificant. The testimony of a master of faith like Tim Keller who experienced similar difficulties as me and ultimately succeeded in deepening fellowship with God through a daily prayer life gave me great comfort and courage.
_ Mathew Sims

It was one of the best prayer books I've read recently.
_ Dave J. Jenkins

This book can be said to be a compilation of must-read contents about prayer. In particular, the quotations from Renaissance theologians such as Jean Calvin, Martin Luther, Augustine, and John Owen were masterpieces.
_ J. Bickley

Prayer is perhaps the most difficult and at the same time neglected topic. A book has been released for all those who are currently leading a prayer life, those who feel a sense of obligation or difficulty with prayer, or those who have given up on it altogether. I put it next to the Bible and try to read it over and over again like an instruction book.
_ tom coughlin

I've only read a few chapters, but I know this book is just what I need for people like me who have thought a lot about prayer and really want to know what difference prayer can make. Prayer is always a matter of faith. This book allowed me to begin my journey of faith again.
_Salt Lick

This book was a refreshing shock to me, who had always found prayer difficult even though I had read various books on prayer. Read. Open your heart and prepare for the mystical experience of meeting God slowly and gently. You will experience new life growing in your spirit and soul.
_MDA “Matt”

Paul demonstrated through his life the need for prayer to come to know God more fully, regardless of the situation he was in. In this book, the part that struck me most heavily was that rather than just listing the problems we face before God, we must purify our hearts and seek His face. It was much better than books that said, “Prayer, just do it this way.”
