I've heard alot of really good things about Claiborne's book / life. I was also glad to see this book review, as I have indeed been wondering a bit about the purpose of prayer. I'll add Yancey to my list. :) Also, IHOP has been mentioned a couple of times around me in the last week. What are your thoughts on it? love. Thanks for your recommendations!

Though I'm "into the IHOP scene" I readily welcome all forms of conversation on the oft-difficult topic of prayer. In fact, in my experience with Ihoppers, most of them are there out of voluntary surrender to stop and take time to really learn how to pray. And even after years of placing their cold hearts before the bonfire of God, enduring fountains and wilderness, I believe many of them have that question "Teach me to pray!" burning yet stronger on their heart. Such is the journey into God eh? The more we know, the more we realize we don't know. The more we depend on Him, the more we realize how much we need Him more.
