Summary

John Indermark helps readers walk the prayer paths of Jesus to gain clear insights into the life of prayer. With a fresh clarity, readers will see that Jesus prayed at all times and in all places--for example, in the solitude of the desert and in the midst of crowds, on the mountaintop and in the garden. Helping readers to move beyond these times and places, Indermark invites all to follow the example of Jesus and to learn deeper ways to connect with God.
