Over the last few years, I’ve made it a point to mostly always have a book in my currently-reading stack about prayer. This means I’m learning about prayer on an ongoing basis, and every few days I'm reminded of the importance of prayer. Today, I’m sharing 10 of my favorite reads + a little preview of what you can expect from each one.
