With this collection of meditations and prayers, the authors hope to provide a pathway to a deeper experience of prayer--an experience that flows organically from a deeper grasp of what Scripture teaches on the form, content, and practice of prayer. Herman Melville, the author of the novel Moby Dick, observed that "to produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme." The mighty theme of Jesus'' life was prayer. Prayer requires time to cultivate; prayer demands extraordinary perseverance. But once Jesus'' approach to prayer is mastered, don''t be surprised if others approach and ask, "Teach me to pray like that."

With this collection of meditations and prayers, the authors hope to provide a pathway to a deeper experience of prayer and gratitude. A serious and passionate pursuit of prayer opens new experiences of gratitude. Exploring more deeply the experience of gratitude increases the discipline and power of prayer. A symbiotic relationship between the two is realized, drawing the reader into the wisdom of F. Scott Fitzgerald, "All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from one phrase--''I love you.''" Loving God, and experiencing God''s love, is central to human experience. A progression toward God in prayer and gratitude opens such a genuine and vital relationship.
