Summary: An extrordinary, easy to read, wonderful commentary
Review: "If You Will Ask", by Oswald Chambers, is a wonderful book! In the very first chapter, Mr Chambers explains HOW we should pray. He says,"very evidently, our ideas about prayer and Jesus Christ's [ideas], are not the same. Prayer to Him is not a way to get things from God, but so that we may get to know God. He goes on to say that "our Lord never once referred to unanswered prayer; God always answers prayer, if we pray in the name of Jesus. Furthermore, he writes that it's not so true that {prayer changes Things} as that prayer changes Us and then We change things. We're not to ask God to do what He created us to do. When we pray, Things remain the same, but We begin to be different. He explains that, "the good of praying is that it gets us to know

god and enables God to perform His order through us. Just reading it "lifts you up". It's a wonderful book, what a great feeling to know that every time we pray, we are getting that much closer to God. It is a small book, but it's 95 pages are full of the author's wisdom, and the power of God in his life. It's a wonderful book!!! I recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about prayer.

Review: This is a magnificent book for understanding God. It takes you further into God's ways of bringing us closer to his heart and learning how to live there forever. It tells of the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit and understanding,what we use to think before reading this book, "unanswered prayers". Beautifully written with heartfelt prayers at the end of each chapter. Great book!
