Praying

Finding Our Way Through Duty to Delight

By: J. I. Packer, Caroline Nystrom

Narrated by: Rob Lamont

Is praying a duty or a delight? J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom say that it's both; an essential, expected practice as a follower of Christ, but also a privilege and joy. As we start out learning to pray properly, however, the delight often seems to be missing. Here is practical help for active, honest praying that involves all of who we are - heart, hands and head - and moves us to deeper obedience, joy and intimacy with our Father.©2006 J.I.

A Godsend

I have struggled to pray aright for too long. These wise words from Dr.Packer amazingly accurately analyzed and diagnosed my trouble. In sum I had forgotten the character and position of the One to Whom I was praying, and likewise forgotten who and what I the prayer truly am in my heart/mind/soul. Thank you Holy Spirit for giving us the great puritan teacher J.I. Packer!

ONLY TWO CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK

The content was excellent but contains only TWO chapters from the book. Did not find any disclosure advising this was not the whole book.

Just the first two chapters

This isn't the whole book. it is only the first two chapters. To read the rest you need to buy the book.

Short, But Worthy

This is my first experience with J. I. Packer, but I found his words both enlightening and thought provoking. His down to earth style and heartfelt words are a balm to those struggling to pray rightly.

only two chapters

Disappointed I paid for this and it's only the first two chapters and the entire audio book isn't on audible.

Buyer beware: abridged version

I was so disappointed to learn that I bought only two chapters of this wonderful book and not the whole book. My bad for not reading the reviews first, then I would have seen that it only covered two chapters. Audible should have put a disclaimer under the title stating that fact, but they did not. While the two chapters covered are excellent, and the reader is engaging, I am so disappointed that I wasted a credit on an abridged title.

Abridged, Heck

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I love the book that I have, but I am ill and was hoping to be able to listen to most of it. It is the first two chapters and that is it. Come on.

Has Praying turned you off from other books in this genre?

No! Packer is great. audible has turned me off from ordering any more books. Come on!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was just fine.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I want the whole book to listen to.

Any additional comments?

Why charge people for two chapters.

Praying

This was not what I expected, didn't fulfill my need or increase my understanding of prayer. Didn't like the voice of the reader. Boring, felt lost on what was being read and discussed. Don't believe I will order another audio book. Thought this would be similar to the audio reading of the Bible. Big disappointment. 😒😓Me Anne

ONLY FIRST 2 CHAPTERS...

Really disappointing. Didn't see anything stating it was only the first 2 chapters. I wish there was a return policy for occasions such as these. I love this book, but I love the WHOLE book, not just a sample.
