"I am not sure that a book about prayer—a very serious and substantial and instructive book about prayer—has ever been called seductive before; but I am going to do so now. Bob Hostetler has created one of the most genuinely satisfying and cordial books about prayer for Christians that I have ever seen. It is engaging, humble, and totally appealing, while at the same time being deeply scriptural. I rejoice in this book and can only hope many others will too."

- Phyllis Tickle, compiler, THE DIVINE HOURS




"Bob Hostetler writes about prayer with the enthusiasm and experience of someone who has immersed himself in the subject. Nothing here feels second-hand but lived, tried and tested. This book will expand your prayer life. It did mine."

- Rick Hamlin, executive editor, Guideposts magazine

"I'm excited about Bob Hostetler's book, The Red Letter Prayer Life. He shows how just seventeen words and phrases of Jesus impart the secrets of prayer--the fountain and source of a thousand blessings. This is a book to be read and reread."

- Josh McDowell, author of More Than a Carpenter




"No matter what level of prayer life you have--from almost none to a good one—The Red Letter Prayer Life will encourage and challenge you to go deeper. I highly recommend it."

- Jonathan Graf, publisher, Prayer Connect magazine



"Red Letter in the title refers the prayers of Jesus, printed in red in some translations. Hostetler's book builds on the request of the first disciples, "Lord, teach us to pray."

For those who want to develop a committed, disciplined prayer life, the author takes them through simple, direct instructions. The poignant stories he uses to illustrate the steps warm the heart."
