This should be mandatory for all

When considering one's personal life and their comminication with their God there arise many questions that we feel are "giver". Then as we consider each question, or challenge, as they occur in our lives it is painfully apparent that we don't have an answer at all. In this wonderful book, Dr. Cedar shows in very simple fashion that each and every trial, big or small, personal or "church-wide" can be addressed through an application of prayer. It sometimes is a very personal application within ourselves, or, when appropriate, the entire church body or larger needs to be challenged and encouraged to bond together in corporate prayer. Having heard Dr. Cedar deliver his sermons on prayer in person, and believing in his sincere and extremely simple yet powerful application of his precepts, I encourage any and all to investigate this wonderful book. The reinforcement of ones personal prayer life is reward enough, but the possibilities of moving outward and upward with the concepts described herein are staggering.

Patterns for prayer

I wish to commend Mr. Cedar for an engaging, pracitical, and very readable book on prayer, particularly for Christian leaders."A Life of Prayer" gives the reader a solid understanding of the necessity of prayer in the life of a leader. Cedar quotes several advocates of prayer providing the reader with some further roads to pursue. After establishing the benefits, necessity of prayer, he proceeds to lay out how to go about it. He mixes a fair number of illustrations from his life and the life of others which enhances this work. The book is very readable and provides a solid foundation for developing your own personal prayer life. As I read it I found myself challenged to embrace the prayer in such a meaningful way.

Fantastic book on the power of prayer.

Paul Cedar does a great job of explainng why we should pray, how we should pray and what results we should expect when we pray. This is a great reference for anyone who wants to get closer to God.
