--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.
