Book Description

Discover how prayer works and why you need it now more than ever
Do you want to pray, but you're not sure how? This friendly guide explains the different kinds of prayer - revealing how and why to pray and how to discern God's answers. You'll see how to overcome hindrances, how to use a journal, and how to pray on your own. Discover what "Thy will be done" means and how to approach prayers that seemingly haven't been answered.
The Dummies Way
In Christian Prayer For Dummies, I explore how prayer is God's "x-factor" for Christians to transform their lives in today's increasingly complex world. You find out that prayer is not a ritual, but a dynamic conversation with a personal God, and can be practiced in many ways and styles based on your own individual needs. You also discover how prayer can bring your family, small group, and church closer together and mend torn relationships. In the heart of the book, I candidly look at the basic questions - why, when, and how to pray - as well as some of the toughest issues that prayer has to offer, such as:
* How can you reconcile "thy will be done" with "ask and you shall receive"?
* Why does a loving God not always answer your prayers in a manner you expect?
* What can you do when you disagree with God's answer?
* How can you discern God's voice when you pray?
* Does God heal in today's world?
Throughout the book, my aim is to avoid the two extremes - "touchy-feely" spiritualism and heavy theological prose - that you can so often encounter when reading about prayer. Instead, I aspire to touch a middle ground that is easy reading yet packed with substance, highly practical yet life changing.
