Rita B. Hays

Margie Burger
Prayer is a relationship with God that grows and matures over time.
"We can be mature in one area of our Christian walk and still be a beginner in other areas," Burger writes. "That is not an indictment but an acknowledgment of the different ways we grow.

God desires and provides for an intimate prayer life for all believers."
Burger's study combines scriptural ...
