Prayer 101

Prayer 101 serves both as an introduction to prayer and a full guide for anyone seeking a deeper, more intentional life of communion with God. Teresa A. Jones begins with fundamental questions—What is prayer? Why do we pray?—and gradually leads readers into a richer understanding of how and why we seek God’s mercy, strength, love, and guidance.

Drawing on real-life examples, Jones connects biblical teaching with the practical challenges of daily prayer. She examines familiar prayers often repeated from memory, uncovering their depth and meaning, and offers a clear vocabulary of prayer’s essential elements. Each chapter ends with reflections that encourage readers to engage more personally and spiritually with God.

Scripture shows that God continually calls His people to pray—and He calls us still. This book explores the many forms prayer can take: seeking, speaking, listening, meditating, crying out, interceding, and more. Prayer 101 invites readers to rediscover prayer not merely as a duty, but as a living relationship with the God who hears and responds.
