Day By Day With Jesus by John R. Killinger
Given to Matthew Hayes - 05/04/2023
Worthy book on the subject, quite practical, with so many examples they tend to pad it out. Useful classification of the types of sermons that are given, they are not all three point sermons. Not afraid to be didactic, he insists we write out all our sermons, for at least the first year, but ideally preach from notes.
Enchanting in its simplicity, book offers practical guidelines for personal prayer life. In exemplary way author prepares the reader for establishing a live personal contact with God through prayer. His rich background combined with previous life experiences offers astonishing depth combined with life applicable illustrations of the process of building of personal prayer life.
I found this book to be helpful with the basics in anyone's prayer life. From the beginner to the most advanced this book thru prayer will strengthen your relationship with God. I also think this book is very well written, the author uses great analogies from life and applies them to biblical stories. This book is for you if you are looking to deepen your prayer life.
John Killinger's Beginning Prayer is not just for beginners in prayer. In it, Killinger offers practical suggestions for novices in prayer and profound insights for even the most spiritually mature. Killinger draws from a life rich in challenges and communication with people and God in myriad circumstances. His writings of prayer reveal the mysteries that open to a person who prays in God's presence often.

It's a mistake to preach out of dogma or doctrine without freshly seeing where the gospel is occurring.
