    About this ebook

    myths that hinder our prayer life. Describing his book as an -alternative prayer manual-, Jeff offers a wealth of practical suggestions to help Christians of all ages and stages to develop a stronger one-on-one relationship with the Almighty. He is open about his own struggles in this area, and writes with clarity and compassion about an aspect of the life of faith that many of us find difficult. First published as How Not to Pray, this book is now revised and updated. Jeff says: -The core message is the same, but ten years on I am writing from a different part of the wood. I am not sure I am wiser, but I am certainly more experienced ' and continue to believe that if we get our prayer habits right, the rest of life is more likely to fall into place.

      Each chapter takes part of the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus taught his disciples, focussing on an aspect of prayer that's relevant. Jeff Lucas encourages us to pray in whatever ways we can, assuring readers that anyone can come to God in any state. It’s fine to pray about anything and everything. Forgiveness of ourselves as well as of others is vital, and we need God’s strength to get through the day.None of this is new to me, but in the context of the author’s reflections, peppered with anecdotes and his gentle, self-deprecating humour, it makes an excellent, thought-provoking read. Definitely one to re-read in future; I recommend it highly.
