Praying in the manner Dr. Peterson suggests makes the call to "pray without ceasing" a much more attainable goal than I had previously thought. This book makes it feasible to tie prayer to every aspect of life.

This book opens the Psalms as tools for prayer in a unique and important way. While we often recite or hear a psalm in worship services, I had never thought of using the psalms as the prayers in my private devotions until I read Peterson's excellent analysis. This is a book worth reading and sharing with special friends.
