STUDY GUIDE

SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD to take a friend along on the most ordinary and common experiences to gain a different, and often helpful, perspective. The purpose of this study guide is to help you discover different and helpful perspectives on Ole Hallesby's book, Prayer, so that your prayer life may be encouraged and enhanced.

This study guide has eleven chapters, corresponding to Hallesby's eleven chapters (he calls them "books"). In each chapter of this guide you will be challenged to REACT to Hallesby's writing. REACT is an acronym for Review, Examine, Apply, Compare, and Think.

Whether you use this guide individually or in a group, a few general hints may be helpful. First, when examining the subject of prayer it is a good practice to have your Bible close at hand. Second, take your time; sometimes we read too much and think too little about what we read. Third, attempt to strike a healthy balance between what you understand in your mind and what you practice with your behavior; in Christian experience, knowledge and action are inseparable. And fourth, pray as you go through the process of learning more about prayer!

One of the ways to understand and appreciate Hallesby's book is by understanding and appreciating his life.
