Prayer is always an important subject for Christians, and especially so when discussed by that great Christian, John Bunyan. Written while the author was in prison for public preaching and calling for religious freedom in England, the book is partly a reaction to Stuart King Charles II's efforts to legislate conformity in English churches of the era.
Parkhurst has updated the language and edited Bunyan's writings on prayer into 31 daily meditations. Following each meditation the editor has written a prayer focusing on that particular meditation. The many facets of prayer are presented in a clear, concise way, making the text particularly uplifting and insightful. Examples of some meditation titles are "Prayer in the Holy Spirit," "When You Try but Cannot Pray," "Prayer That Assures No Answer," and "A Word of Encouragement."
