For those who have ever stumbled over what to say while praying, or for those who want their prayers to be more effective, How to Pray When You Don’t Know What to Say offers clear guidance on the importance of prayer, a vast array of ways to approach God, why some prayers are not answered, how to deal with doubts about God’s ability to answer prayer, what not to do when praying, and more. In his encouraging style, Elmer Towns doesn’t induce guilt about not praying; rather, he makes readers want to drop to their knees in anticipation of meeting with the God of the universe. By following Elmer’s lead, your prayer life will never be the same.
ELMER TOWNS is vice president of Liberty University and dean of the School of Religion at Liberty University, which he cofounded in 1971 with Jerry Falwell. Elmer teaches the 2,000-member pastor’s Sunday School class at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is a Gold Medallion Award-winning author, and his books include Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough, Praying the 23rd Psalm and 365 Ways to Know God. Elmer and his wife, Ruth, have three grown children.
