Hancock, a long-time missionary to Cambodia-this book can help lead Christians into deeper and more meaningful times of prayer and intercession.

Lean into your quiet time. Learn directly from the hard-won wisdom of many of the most devoted, prayerful Christians throughout church history. People who often struggled with their worship and devotions but nevertheless pressed on in faith, confident that God would meet them, mature them, and guide them in his perfect will.

Whether it's jump-starting a stalled prayer life or broadening and deepening a mature one, Pathway to Prayer brings invaluable direction and guidance from what is truly the wisdom of the ages. For the full experience read it straight through, stopping regularly to meditate on the wisdom that leaps off the page, or selectively dip into any of the 50 topical sections for a laser focus on a particular area of need.
