    Most books on prayer are convicting. The authors don’t have to work too hard to give us the Bible verses, make some helpful observations, and point us to simple application. On the other hand, I have found it somewhat rare to find books on prayer that also provide clear, practical instruction. Perhaps this is due to people being afraid of imposing standards or practices that are not mandated in the Scriptures. At any rate, I am very excited when I can find a book that does both: provide conviction and instruction.

    The Hidden Life of Prayer by David McIntyre is one of those books. It is not a long book. It weighs in as a paperback at about 120 pages. However, whatever is lacked in volume it brings in substance. Think of it as a cup of espresso for the discipline of prayer.

    McIntyre (1859-1938) was a minister in Scotland. His daily faithfulness precedes this volume. It is helpful to remember that this book was an outflow of a life that was bathed

    Prayer

    Why did you write a book about prayer?

    I wrote Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?because I felt so bad about my prayer life.  Surveys show that the vast majority of people pray at least sometimes.  Yet if you’re like me, when you read books on prayer you end up feeling guilty and inferior.  Few people I’ve talked to experience satisfaction in prayer.

    I write books about questions I don’t know the answer to, issues that are still unresolved for me.  And I’ve waited a long time to tackle this subject of prayer, mainly because I didn’t know what to say.

    Did the process of writing the book change your own prayer life?

    Yes, it did.  I used to see prayer as a spiritual discipline, one of those things you’re supposed to do.  Now I see it as a spiritual privilege, an opportunity to communicate with the Creator of the universe who loves me and gives me the ability to converse.

    For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requ
