According to the Bible, the God of Christianity has a reputation for answering prayer. However, many Christians have been sometimes severely tempted to think they have been sold short as they have found themselves in some crisis and have cried out to God in all sincerity, and found that he has been "out." From years of pastoral experience in addressing crises, and after having to face crises in his own experience, Roger Abbott attempts to help Christians who are struggling with what seem to be very real instances of God not answering their heartfelt prayers. There are many books about prayer, but there are not many that attempt to face the huge struggles with prayer that pray-ers can face. This book, while refusing to shirk those struggles and the debilitating emotional impact they can have, also attempts to navigate those emotional struggles with the use of a practical theology. Some Christians think, other Christians pray. Hello? Is Anyone There? combines a passion for thoughtful theology and a passion for prayer, out of a passion for a relationship with God in Christ.

"Prayer is not only petition, it is also something more basic-it is soul to soul communication with God. And this really must come first, before we ask God for anything. For this is the heart of prayer. Before we expect Him to listen to our requests we must have made contact with His soul by our soul" (Excerpt). This is a book about prayer. It is a study of the most basic elements of Christian prayer. The book is written for anyone, young or old, who wants to deepen his prayer life and his walk with the Lord; it is thorough and reflective, yet easy-to-read. The book starts off by examining the definition of prayer-its nature and meaning. Then there is a discussion about praise, and how praise is both different from and interdependent of petitionary prayer. Three chapters are devoted to intercession, and the last four chapters-on forgiveness, fasting, prayer posture, and yielding-lay out those all important elements that prepare one for prayer.

Many books on the practice of prayer seem to be informed more by the experiences of their authors than by Scripture. However, the Bible not only teaches us about prayer, it also gives us many examples of prayer. It is God's Word to us, and it teaches us how to respond to that Word. Tim Chester's insightful exposition of this central aspect of Christian living is driven by the conviction that we need to reform not only our thinking and behaviour in the light of God's Word, but also our praying. Drawing on a wide range of biblical texts, he explores the foundations and the practice of prayer, and shows that how we understand prayer is necessarily bound up with how we understand the gospel, and God himself.
