"How to Pray the Bible" by Donald S. Whitney is a practical guide designed to help readers deepen their prayer life by using Scripture as a foundation for their conversations with God. Whitney emphasizes that the Bible should be the primary source of inspiration and guidance in prayer.

The book outlines a method for integrating Scripture into prayer, which involves reading a passage of the Bible and then using its content to guide one’s prayers. Whitney provides step-by-step instructions and practical tips on how to pray through different types of passages, whether they are historical narratives, psalms, or epistles.

Whitney’s approach aims to help believers align their prayers with God's will, understand the Scriptures more deeply, and experience a more vibrant and fulfilling prayer life. The book is designed for both individual and communal use, making it a useful resource for personal devotion and group Bible studies alike.
