The subtitle of Don Carson’s A Call to Spiritual Reformation implies the objective of the book. This work is an exposition of Paul’s prayers meant to shape the believer’s prayer life. A Call to Spiritual Reformation is immensely helpful and deliberately pastoral in helping answer one of the greatest conundrums of Christian piety: how should saints pray? Most believers realize they should pray, but the way of prayer is another matter. All Christians should be indebted to Carson for answering this question straight from the pages of Scripture. To put it plainly, this work is an exegetical masterpiece. No chapter from the body of the book works independently from Scripture. Because Carson’s material is closely linked to Paul’s letters, the reader will find it clear to fulfill the objective of praying using Scripture and thus growing in a deeper knowledge of God.
