Penny Cooke's work takes the reader to the heart of God the Father and draws them closer to His expressed wish that we talk with Him . . . that we bring the little things as well as the big things into His throne room . . . that we leave the heart of who we are with the heart of who He is. She reminds us that God waits for His children, desiring them to lean in, lean on, and trust fully that He is big enough to meet all our needs. These conversations are not only for the trials of life but for the every-day. --Eva Marie Everson, best-selling author and president of Word Weavers International Wow! I've read most everything I can get my hands on regarding prayer, and this is one of the simplest, warmest, and most inviting books I've ever read. How could it not be? Penny is a simple, warm, and inviting person. When I met Penny, she was leading a weekend retreat, and I was her speaker. I knew right away we were going to have a great weekend because that retreat had been prayed over. I don't think it would have mattered if I'd sang The Star Spangled Banner . . . the Holy Spirit was going to work because Penny's team had been praying! And that is exactly what happened. How exciting it is to read her book. I hear her voice and see her smile. With encouragement and 'come alongside-ness' Penny guides you through a step-by-step understanding of how to begin the adventure of prayer. While the mystery of prayer continues to baffle most of us--Penny draws you into this wonderful relationship, and you come out the winner. You will enjoy this study--whether you participate in it alone or with a group. --Leighann McCoy, author of Spiritual Warfare for Women and founder of The Prayer Clinic Ministry Penny Cooke provides each believer the discipline of discovering the life God meant for each one of us. Pursuing PRAYER demonstrates how we can come to know God's good, acceptable, and perfect will for our lives. This is a study into the heart of God and His desire to have a close and personal relationship with His children through prayer. --Gary Townsend, North Florida Regional Catalyst, Florida Baptist Convention Penny Cooke has unlocked a key to making our prayers touch eternity. Using her Bible study and PRAYER acrostic can turn your prayer time into a power that will not only change your life but will also breach the very walls of God's throne. She embraces the might of Jesus' blood and applies logic to give even someone new to prayer a means to embrace God's communication conduit--prayer. --Jill Bond, author of Dinner's in the Freezer, Writing to God's Glory, and others, and publisher of Blessed Living Women's E-Magazine If you're looking for a more meaningful prayer life and deeper communication with Papa God, I highly recommend Pursuing PRAYER. Author Penny Cooke, in her reader-friendly, let's-get-real conversational style, uses relevant Scripture alongside marvelous quotes from contemporary faith giants to renew your passion for truly effective prayer. Whether you do the study on your own or in a group setting, it'll be six weeks of investment in your faith walk that you'll always cherish. --Debora M. Coty, speaker and award-winning author of more than forty inspirational books, including the best-selling Too Blessed to Be Stressed series
