Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, but how to talk to God—to enter into a spiritual conversation! For Jesus, prayer was as necessary as breathing—the very breath of life itself. In the same way, Christ calls you to a life of spiritual intimacy and offers the life-giving secrets of prayer.
