 at half of Amazon’s price


Tom Holland’s Prayer and the Goodness of God blends deep theology with pastoral warmth, making prayer refreshingly clear and practical. Through relatable dialogue and heartfelt insights, it tackles tough questions and gently restores confidence in prayer. It’s inspiring, easy to read, and deeply encouraging for every believer’s journey.


Tom Holland brings to this book the wisdom of a long-serving minister, the heart of a of a long-serving minister, the heart of a caring pastor, and the knowledge of an internationally respected theologian. That is a very rare combination and no subject is better served by it than a discussion of prayer. In these pages, you will discover not only profound truth simply explained but answers to the questions we have all asked when struggling to pray.

Tom Holland asks the right questions and thereby primes the pump for an eminently readable, engaging and informative reflection on the practice of prayer. All readers, whatever their spiritual maturity, will find much to stimulate their thinking and better equip them to pray.

The stories in this little book are like a beacon of light offering guidance and hope in the dark. It's a delightful read and the thread about prayer is practical, life-giving, and powerful. If you're considering this book, I'd say go for it! It could have an eternal impact on not only you; but also on those in your life.

The book deals with many questions about prayer, constantly asked by Christians; for instance, ‘Why pray when God is sovereign? ‘What about healing?’ ‘Since Jesus said, “I do not pray for the world”, should we pray for unbelievers?’ All in all helpful, unusual and not without challenge for believers at every stage, although particularly helpful for those young in age and spiritual maturity.

Philip Grist, The Evangelical Times


This is a unique book. It’s teaching on prayer through dialogue makes it an easy and fast-paced read that proves challenging to one’s prayer life. And the characters bring to it a pastoral reality, as issues such as parenthood, bereavement, healing, and personal evangelism are dealt with. A great little aid for all of us who wrestle in prayer.

This is an excellent short book about prayer and such easy reading - Thank you Tom! It follows a series of chats between a pastor and one of his congregation exploring what the Bible actually says about God and prayer. I fully recommend this book and have in fact just read it for the second time.

I read the book with great interest and was greatly blessed by its simplicity but profound teaching. I posted a small review on our church's Facebook page and have been most encouraged by the response of those who bought and read the book. One person testifies that she has been rejuvenated by reading the book and is keen to be part of a more prayerful church community. I recommend it highly as something pastors might pass on to their church and follow up on the lessons learned from it.

This book brought me such joy that I gave a copy to every member of my home Bible study group for a Christmas present.

Dr Tom Holland trained as an engineer but left to study theology after sensing God’s call to Christian service,
After graduating from London University with a Bachelor of Divinity, he accepted an invitation to establish a church 25 miles south of Cambridge. By God’s goodness it grew rapidly.

In preaching regularly, Tom began to see that the Old Testament was far more present in the New Testament than generally recognised.
