Description: Christians often say "In Jesus' name" to close their prayers. But is this truly a desire of the heart or a perfunctory "Yours Truly" to God? Bryan Chapell says we should begin our prayers in Jesus' name--we should be Praying Backwards. In this practical and inspiring book, he shows readers that to truly pray in Jesus' name is to reorder one's priorities in prayer--and in life--away from oneself and toward Jesus and his kingdom. It is to pray believing in the power and the goodness of the One who hears, and thus to pray boldly, expectantly, and persistently. Readers seeking to transform their prayer lives will find wonderful direction in this book.

"Praying Backwards was an answer to prayer. The subtitle to this book is "Transform Your Prayer Life By Beginning In Jesus' Name." I truly feel that Chapell's teaching, drawn directly from the Scriptures, will transform the prayer lives of many of God's people, and for that I am most thankful. I simply cannot recommend this book enough. This may just be the best book I've read in 2005."
