The Heart of Prayer - Jerram Barrs


Jerram Barrs from Covenant Theological Seminary has recently published a book on prayer called, The Heart of Prayer. If we were Catholic, Barrs would be the patron saint of Covenant Seminary. He is not as popular as many Reformed rock star teachers out there, but he is certainly worth taking a look at.

Here are some endorsements:

"I can't think of anyone better than Jerram Barrs to write on the subject of prayer. Dive into The Heart for Prayer and take a cool swim in the wisdom of a teacher who knows how to tackle discipleship with grace, humility, and transparency. If he's speaking, I'm listening. You should be too."
- Charlie Peacock

"At a time when many of us today are hardly better than atheists when it comes to prayer, Jerram Barrs is a wise and gentle guide to the way of prayer shown and taught by Jesus. I have benefitted enormously from this profound yet simple and helpful book."
- Os Guinness, author of The Call


You can buy the book here.

You can read some samples from the book here.

You also might want to consider his book, The Heart of Evangelism. I took his class that much of the book is based on and it was my favorite class at Covenant Seminary that I have taken.
