There is much written on the subject of prayer, but very little on answers to prayer. There is pastoral wisdom in this little book, and it is good to see it in simplified form. -- Bill James With clear prose set within coherent outline form, this classic treatment of prayer helps us explore one of the great mysteries and blessings of biblical faith. In what ways do the expressed desires of God's people, disciplined in mind and heart by the word of God, have an effectual influence on the God 'who works all things after the counsel of his own will'? Paul expressed confidence to the Corinthians that God would deliver him: 'you also helping together in prayer for us' (2 Cor. 1:11). Goodwin, distilled to essence by these gifted editors, opens to the reader the theology of prayer offering explanation, encouragement, admonition, warning, and assurance. One impressive aspect of this short book is its witness to how much of the Bible actually is written in the context of prayer. Though the 'return of prayers' is mysterious, it is no esoteric activity but at the heart of biblical revelation and the providential operations of God. This book is a sentence by sentence reminder of that great grace. -- Tom J. Nettles
