Across twelve chapters, author Josiah Everstone walks through the biblical purpose of prayer, how Jesus Himself prayed, the different types of biblical prayer, intercession, and what to do when God seems quiet. The teaching stands on classic voices in prayer literature: John Bunyan's Prayer (2006 edition), Andrew Murray's With Christ in the School of Prayer (1981), A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God (1982), J. I. Packer's Knowing God (1993), Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline (1998), and Neil Anderson's Victory Over the Darkness (2000), alongside constant reference to Scripture including Psalm 95, John 17, Ephesians 2, and Hebrews 10.
Clergy will find fresh material for prayer meetings and sermons on the difference between religious routine and real relationship with God. Worship leaders will find language that moves a congregation from performance into presence. And any reader who has ever felt guilty for finding prayer difficult will find plain, gentle instruction that turns struggle into confidence.
This is not another list of quick prayer tips. It is a full biblical case for why prayer works, why it sometimes feels like it does not, and how to keep praying anyway until it becomes as natural as breathing.

Josiah Everstone writes for believers and church leaders who want their prayer life and public ministry to match. Building on close reading of Scripture and classic voices in Christian devotional writing — John Bunyan, Andrew Murray, A. W. Tozer, J. I. Packer, and Richard Foster among them — his work gives readers plain, biblically grounded instruction rather than quick formulas. The Power of Prayer reflects his conviction that consistent, honest prayer, not religious routine, is what forms lasting intimacy with God.
