In prayer Christians address the triune God - one God in three persons, the God of holiness, love, beauty, and power.

In this video-taped speech, Prof. John Witvliet explores the richness and joy in praying to the Triune God--one God in three persons, the God of holiness, love, beauty, and power. God is the One who perfects and mediates our praise and petitions.

This speech was given at the Prayer Summit, held April 2012, in Los Angles, CA.
