Road to Renewal

Are you floundering in your walk with God?
Does it feel like your prayers never accomplish anything?
Are you struggling to make an impact in the lives of those around you?
Are you desperate for spiritual renewal?
One of the reasons many believers struggle in their Christian walk is because they don't know how to pray biblically. Through a clear, insightful, and practical exposition of Scripture, Road to Renewal takes the reader though seven prayers in the Bible that, when rightly understood and properly prayed, can help bring about spiritual renewal.


""Prayer is about far more than making requests or checking in with God. It is about spending time with the Father and when combined with reflection on scripture, getting a good look in a mirror. Road to Renewal gets one started on deepening what prayer can and should be. It truly gives one an opportunity to be renewed.""
--Darrell Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary

""Most of us need help now and then with our prayer lives. . . . One of the ways to teach prayer is to work through some of the prayers in scripture, understanding what the prayers mean, and in effect teaching us to pray similarly. This is what Wayne Baxter has done in this book: he has expounded a number of intercessory prayers, taking up the mantle of teaching others to pray.""
--D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

""Road to Renewal has captured in seven well-written chapters a lively, biblical exposition for a revitalized view and practice of prayer in the life of the believing community. But it also is just as powerful a call for revival and renewal in Christ's church. I wholeheartedly recommend it to those who ask what can be done in times like the ones we are now living in!""
--Walter C. Kaiser, President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

""Prayer is tough but simple, accessible yet often hidden in the weeds of our own insecurity, busyness, or lack of discipline. Wayne Baxter in Road to Renewal lifts the shadows of complexity, taking us into the sanctum made available by the one who envelops our lives. This is a book for learners and ancients, for personal and group study, and for those teaching others the rhythms and patterns of praying.""
--Brian C. Stiller, Global Ambassador, World Evangelical Alliance

""Wayne Baxter has a gift for careful exposition of the biblical text mixed with a sincere passion for the church and Christian discipleship. This book beautifully brings these things together. It offers the reader an engaging combination of education and inspiration that will ultimately deepen your desire to draw near to God.""
--Lee Beach, McMaster Divinity College

""Through in-depth biblical examples, Road to Renewal is a much-needed resource that demonstrates how praying God's Word can enrich and transform your prayer life, and move you to a place of continual growth and humble dependence in prayer. Baxter clearly establishes that scripture is relevant and necessary for life-changing prayer. You won't pray the same again!""
--Jenn Martin, Women's Ministry Director, the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada

""Combining the insights of a trained theologian and the shepherding heart of a pastor, Baxter invites you to consider the real meaning, relevant messages, and real difference that seven biblical prayers can make in your life.""
--Aaron Rock, Lead Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel Windsor

""Road to Renewal articulates a path to biblical maturity, guided by prayer, with a clarity and precision that encourages the heart and instructs the mind. I highly recommend this biblical exposition of key portions of God's Holy Word, as it will d
