Jeff Lucas turns his hallmark wit and candour to expose some of the myths that hinder our prayer life. Describing his book as an "alternative prayer manual", Jeff offers a wealth of practical suggestions to help Christians of all ages and stages to develop a stronger one-on-one relationship with the Almighty. He is open about his own struggles in this area, and writes with clarity and compassion about an aspect of the life of faith that many of us find difficult. First published in 2003, this book is now thoroughly revised and updated. Jeff says: "The core message is the same, but ten years on I am writing from a different part of the wood. I am not sure I am wiser, but I am certainly more experienced - and continue to believe that if we get our prayer habits right, the rest of life is more likely to fall into place."
