The disciples were mentored for three years, yet they still asked Jesus to 'teach us to pray'. 'Why do people pray? Prayers of Confession, Spiritual Prayers, Temporal Prayers, The Spirit of Prayer and Prayerfulness, Praying for Others, Patterns of Prayer, Who Answers Prayer, Guidance Through Prayer. These are the topics and questions Pelser describes as he teaches us the structure and purpose of prayer helping to overcome the 'blank sheet' approach.
