About the Book
The A-B-C of Prayer: Understanding Prayer Book by Book approaches prayer not as a vague spiritual feeling, but as a skill that can be understood, practiced, and grown — step by step, letter by letter. It is written for readers at every stage of their prayer life, from those just beginning to those hungry to go deeper.
At the heart of the book is a simple, memorable structure: the S-T-A-P-L-E-R prayer guide — seven movements that walk the reader through a fuller, more intentional experience of prayer.
The S-T-A-P-L-E-R Prayer Guide
Seven movements to bring structure, depth, and consistency to your prayer life.
Scripture
Anchoring every prayer in the Word of God, letting Scripture shape what and how we pray rather than approaching prayer empty-handed.
Thanksgiving
Entering God's presence with gratitude, acknowledging His faithfulness before bringing requests.
Adoration
Pausing to worship God for who He is, not only for what He does — cultivating a heart posture of reverence.
Petition
Bringing specific, honest requests before God with confidence, boldness, and humility.
Listening
Making space for silence, allowing prayer to become a two-way conversation rather than a one-sided monologue.
Examination
Inviting God to search the heart, surfacing areas that need confession, correction, or realignment.
Rejoicing / Resolution
Closing in praise and settled trust, releasing outcomes to God and walking away resolved in faith.
