Reviews
“This is more than a ‘how-to’ book on prayer. The mechanics of prayer give way to the heart and rhythm of Spirit-led praying. The emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s leading, filling and guiding our prayer life is at the core of Dr. Thrasher’s message. May the resurrection power of Jesus move in such a way that your prayer life breathes fresh new life.”
-Dr. Mark Jobe
President of Moody Bible Institute

“This is not just another book on the importance of prayer. It is a book on how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and make prayer a way of life. What would be more important for the Christian than sharing your life fully with the Father in prayer? This is a book to be experienced, not simply read. Whether you make the journey alone, or with a small group of fellow Christians, God can use this book to resurrect your prayer life.”

“There are two things I like about this book written by my colleague in ministry Bill Thrasher. First, I like how practical it is. This is not a book on prayer theory or even a deep dive into prayer theology. Rather it contains very practical steps and suggestions on how one can revitalize a waning prayer life. Second, this book is deeply rooted in Scripture. Yes, Thrasher shares personal thoughts and insights, but all are biblically rooted. These two aspects woven together makes for a compelling and helpful primer on how believers can revive a stagnant prayer experience.”
-Dr. Marvin J. Newell
Ambassador at Large, Missio Nexus
“When Dr. Thrasher asked me to read his manuscript ‘How to Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life’, I wondered why he would pick me. He didn’t, God did! I needed this! Highly recommend this book to help take your prayer life to a new level of expectancy and effectiveness, regardless of how good you think it currently is.”

“No one will argue that prayer is a key component of a flourishing relationship with Christ. Yet for many of us, experiencing the joy and power of this strategically important discipline remains an illusive goal. We identify with the longing of the disciples who asked Jesus to ‘teach them to pray’. Thankfully, my friend Bill Thrasher has wonderfully stepped into that space to lead us back, or for some of us, for the first time, to an effective prayer life…reminding us that not only is prayer important for getting answers but also for the enjoyment of an intimate fellowship with Christ.”
