Synopsis

If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known—a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God.

Spiritual formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what you've been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.

For many Christians, prayer has become a performance in front of God rather than speaking to God.

Goodreads review by Ryan

I really wanted to give it 5 stars, and wanted to love it, but I think I expected too much from it. Some books resonate with me while others do not. I think I learn more from biographies on prayer from great men who were known for their prayers rather than more modern teaching on prayer. This was st......more
