You may be familiar with Don Whitney’s books,\u00c2\u00a0Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>and\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>Spiritual Disciplines within the Church<\/a>. <\/em>Whitney\u00c2\u00a0has given his life and ministry to strengthening\u00c2\u00a0Christians and the church in Christ through\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou guessed it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dspiritual disciplines.<\/p>\n

One of these spiritual disciplines is prayer, and Whitney recently published a helpful new book focused on this important dimension of our communion with God. It’s titled, simply, Praying the Bible<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s Kevin DeYoung’s description<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Short, simple, straight forward, edifying. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know anyone in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s evangelical world more effective at teaching about spiritual disciplines than Whitney. This readable, conversational book will help you pray the Bible in a way that is edifying, easier, and more enjoyable than you might think. Like the best books on prayer, this one makes you want to go somewhere quiet and pray.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
