　　“Timothy Jones…guides us into a life of prayer not by cramming us

simplicity of soul and the presence of God.” 
　　–Eugene Peterson 
　　 
　　 
　　 
　　Something within us wants to grow closer to the God who loves to
relate to us. But we often hesitate. Even though we have a desire
to pray, questions nag us: 
　　 
　　Can I pray when I feel distant from God? 
　　Is it okay to ask God for help in “little” things? 
　　What do I do when I don’t know what to say? 
　　What sense can I make of seemingly unanswered prayer? 
　　How do I keep growing closer to God? 
　　 
　　In The Art of Prayer, Timothy Jones honestly shares his own
struggles with prayer and invites you to be honest–and hopeful–as
well. Offering biblically wise, warmly instructive explorations of
our questions, Jones considers how you can become fluent in the
world’s simplest language: talking with God. 
　　 
　　Includes a full-length inductive Bible study guide on prayer,
ideal for small groups or individual readers. 
　　 
　　“…wisely human, spiritually practical, and wonderfully
interesting.” 
　　– the late Lewis Smedes, author of My God and I 
　　 
　　“…luminous prose and…lucid insights.” 
　　–Publishers Weekly

　　–Philip Yancey, author of Soul Survivor 
　　 
　　“[A] fine introduction to prayer as well as a deeply reflective
meditation.… [This book] will appeal to a broad readership because
of Jones’s luminous prose and his lucid insights.” 
　　–Publishers Weekly“Prayer, the expression of our deepest and most
essential selves, also names our most pervasive inadequacy. And so
we need guides, men and women who return us to our true selves and
encourage us to do what is most natural to us. Timothy Jones is a
reassuring guide: He guides us into a life of prayer not by
cramming us with knowledge and technique but by quietly returning
us to simplicity of soul and the presence of God.” 
　　–Eugene Peterson, translator of The Message 
　　 
　　“A wisely human, spiritually practical, and wonderfully
interesting book about the most important project of my life:
deeper friendship and more effective communication with the Maker
of the Universe. If it proves half as helpful to others as it has
already been to me, it will have been a splendid gift to us
all.” 
　　–the late Lewis Smedes, author of Forgive and Forget 
　　 
　　“Many Americans, surveys reveal, are eager to have an encounter
with the living God, yet they too often feel sidetracked by concern
over such questions as Is God really approachable? and What do I
say when I pray? Tim Jones addresses such concerns with clarity and
freshness, enabling readers to come closer to realizing their
heartfelt desire to hear and serve God.” 
　　–George Gallup Jr. 
　　 
　　“Jones provides reassurance and inspiration on a topic of
importance to a growing number of readers.” 
　　–Library Journal
