Do you struggle with prayer? Some people don't. They seem more "mystically wired" or something. They can't explain how to pray because it comes very naturally and intuitively to them and they "just do it." As a result, they aren't very helpful in coaching someone else. Others, for whom prayer does not come easily, have had to learn how. They have had to break prayer down to its component parts and analyze everything. These people often make good coaches. They can relate to your struggles with the subject or task. They say things like, "Yeah, I had trouble with that too, until I realized this." And then they show you the secret and you too can become successful.
Richard Nash is someone who hasn't found prayer to be easy, natural, or intuitive and has therefore had to learn specific lessons about how to pray over his forty years of walking with God. He has had to analyze and ponder the lessons of prayer. Filled with thrilling true stories of answered prayer, this book conveys the author's personal discoveries and lessons learned to those who desire to improve their relationship with God.
Come learn how to have an exciting and fulfilling life of prayer!

"The principles of prayer taught here are practical without being mechanical, and Nash's constant emphasis on prayer being relationship with God keeps it from being a 'how to' book. When he shares a truth, he brings balance without diluting its meaning. His personal candidness, honesty and transparency made the book more believable. I hope many will have the opportunity to read, He Hears Me!, because when they do they will experience, as I did, a desire to pray more and pray with a greater sense of faith in God."

"This is not some boring book urging believers to pray. Rather it is easy reading with captivating real life stories. (I was personally present at a few of the events he describes, and they were everything he portrays.)
For those who already have a thriving prayer experience, there are perceptive pointers which will enrich their prayer practices also. Do yourself a favor and read this book. It will be a great blessing to you!"
- Rev. Thomas McSweeney, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Corydon, Iowa

"I read a lot of theological books. Some good, some not-so-good. But many discourage me in that they tell me to work harder, try harder, and be more diligent so that my walk with Christ may mature. He Hears Me! isn't like that. This book encourages you! Written in an easy-to-understand style, you won't feel as if you need a seminary education in order to better understand prayer and how God responds to it. I like being encouraged! And now I like praying."
- Rev. Darren Paulson, Teaching Pastor, Rolling Hills Community Church, Vacaville, California (from the Foreword)
