Christians often say "In Jesus' name" to close their prayers - but is this truly a desire of the heart or a perfunctory "Yours Truly" to God? Bryan Chapell says we should begin our prayers in Jesus' name - we should be praying backwards.
In this practical and inspiring book, he shows readers that to truly pray in Jesus' name is to reorder one's priorities in prayer - and in life - away from oneself and toward Jesus and his kingdom. It is to pray believing in the power and the goodness of the One who hears, and thus to pray boldly, expectantly and persistently.
"Finally, here is a book on prayer that puts the person of our Lord before the petitions on our lists."
- Scotty Smith, senior pastor, Christ Community Church, Franklin, Tennessee
"With careful exposition of Scripture and helpful applications to daily life, Bryan Chapell encourages all of us to 'pray and not lose heart' (Luke 18:1)."
- Jerry Bridges, author and speaker
