"This is a simple, easy-to-read, but substantive guide to beefing up your prayer life. I read it almost 20 years ago and was greatly helped. Hybels ACTS formula (Adoration, Confession, Thanks, Supplication) for structuring your daily prayers is very useful. I highly recommend Hybels." — Barry (5 out of 5 stars)
