A Praying Life: Connecting With God in a Distracting World
More than 300,000 copies sold! 'This book will be like having the breath of God at your back. Let it lift you to new hope.' --Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Bold Love This new edition includes an expanded chapter on using the practical 'prayer cards'--a hallmark of the teaching found in A Praying Life --and a chapter on the need and use of prayers of lament. Prayer is so hard that unless circumstances demand it--an illness, or saying grace at a meal--most of us simply do not pray. We prize accomplishments and productivity over time in prayer. Even Christians experience this prayerlessness--a kind of practical unbelief that leaves us marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy.Prayer is all about relationship. Based on the popular seminar by the same name, A Praying Life has discipled thousands of Christians to a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. When Jesus describes the intimacy He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). A Praying Life feels like having dinner with good friends. It is the way we experience and connect to God. In A Praying Life, author Paul Miller lays out a pattern for living in relationship with God and includes helpful habits and approaches to prayer that enable us to return to a childlike faith.
This book has been a great encouragement, with Biblical foundations, life examples, and inspiration to grow in a real life relationship with our Heavenly Father. It is easy to read. I highly recommend it.
