"Prayer is a force like the power of earth’s mightiest dynamite. Why don’t we see more of that dynamite exploding in our churches and our world today?" (from the Introduction) Mack proposes two possibilities: • Perhaps we’re not seeing more of that dynamite because we don’t pray enough. • Perhaps we aren’t seeing much dynamite because we are not praying the way we should. Mack hopes to motivate readers to pray more than they have. "I have yet to meet people who would say that they pray as much as they think they should," Mack writes. He also wants readers to understand prayer "Jesus’ style." "I want us to learn from history’s greatest prayer expert." Reaching the Ear of God includes searching application questions, making this book ideal for group and individual study. "While you may have seen many books on prayer before, this might well be the book on prayer on which you should focus your attention." —from the foreword by S. Lance Quinn
