This was a free audio book this month and I am glad it came up. I had never heard of it but it is an excellent discourse on prayer. This is different because Ryle gives reasons to believe most do not pray in a way that is intimate with God. He also shows how prayer is essential for a Christian to be a true Christian. If we do not pray in earnest, do we really believe God or wish to have a relationship with him? This may make you see you are not doing as well as you can. I know because it showed me that I need more work and more time spent on speaking with God.

I agree with the other reviewers so far. This is a well laid out supernatural review of the Gospel and Bible, which is no surprise from Dr. Heiser’s other work. It is also very interesting if you have seen the show. I have only read through chapter one so far but am having a hard time stopping. I was originally looking forward to his Demons book being but this one got publishing release first. I have already decided to send the paperback to some of my family when it is out. I am glad I got it in Logos because, as usual, Scriptural references are easier/faster to study. Since I also had a $20 discount, it was also cheaper. If you like Dr. Heiser’s other books and his podcast, you should enjoy this, especially if you have seen the series. As another reviewer mentioned, the writers of the series were probably not aware of their connections to the Bible but these are themes of life. Dr. Heiser addresses this fact early on and does not claim the show has an intentional hidden biblical meaning.
