“There is much to be gained from reading this book! Not only do the authors tell us what prayer is, but also what it is not. They do an excellent job in stressing how we should pray according to Scriptural principles.” — Rev. Andrew Simcak Jr.

A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World (Paul Miller)
$13.50We all know it — prayer can be hard. In fact, prayer is so hard that most of us rarely pray unless an illness, or a public setting, such as saying grace at a meal, demands it. Prayerlessness is rooted in a core unbelief that can shape our lives, even as Christians. Because of prayerlessness, our lives are often marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy.
If prayerlessness marks your life more often than not, then this book is for you. Paul Miller writes to the heart of the matter. This book is for any Christian who wants to know the joy and power of a vibrant prayer life.
“This is as fine a book on prayer that you will ever read, but it is so much more. It is the story of our struggle to actually live like we believe that our Heavenly Father really does love us. Paul exegetes our struggle in a way that is convicting, insight-giving and encouraging. This is a book on prayer that actually makes you want to pray!”
