DESCRIPTION

We encounter many obstacles to prayer, some the result of crisis life dumps on us, others because of obstacles we make ourselves. However, the inability to pray doesn't make us inadequate Christians.

Al Truesdale identifies the various hindrances to a life of prayer and offers practical alternatives rooted in biblical scholarship that will help us discard discouragement. When You Can't Pray will help you move forward armed with more faithful, more accurate interpretations of difficult scriptures and circumstances of life.

This second edition contains updated source material, relevant references to current events, and two brand-new chapters.
