Favorite Quote(s):
Most of us hate to be without our cell phones. The same thing should be true concerning our prayer life. Once we realize how important it is for us to talk to the Father, we should feel absolutely paralyzed if we don’t have a strong connection with Him through prayer. - p. 26.
What is prayer? It is more than asking and receiving. It’s more than presenting requests and waiting for answers. Prayer is a union with our Heavenly Father. It is our need pouring out and His grace pouring in. - p. 43
Prayer is the bellows that blows upon the warm coals of revival and keeps the Body [of Christ] glowing with fervency. - p. 57.
Takeaway:
Talk To Me was very enjoyable. There weren't really spectacular things to like or not like about the book--except the author's overuse of the phrase "You see..." However, because this book is part of a Bible correspondence course, I have higher expectations than I would if I'd simply bought the book at the local bookstore. Though the author gave much motivation to pray, there seemed to be something missing in the presentation. Yes, there was plenty of Scripture to ponder, but it didn't go as in-depth as expected.
For someone new in his faith or needing a refresher on the basics, I would recommend the book. For someone looking for a scholarly, deep study on prayer, this one does not fit the bill.
