Here is 2 part list consisting of the 8 greatest books on prayer (in my humble but accuarate opinion) and a bonus list of phenomenal books on prayer every believer will benefit from (including two of mine!).

The best books on prayer inspire us to action- they lead us to pray. Choosing a list of books every believer should read is difficult simply because there are so many excellent choices. This list includes some classics from other centuries and some from the best contemporary authors and prayer leaders. All of these titles are convicting, instructive, and have motivated millions of Christians to pray. I have read them all.
