Description

For most of us, prayer is a struggle. Do our prayers even matter? What, if anything, happens when we pray? Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves?

We know we should pray. It would be good for us--help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can feel like a cosmic waste of time.

In this thoughtful book, bestselling author Addison Bevere takes you into and through the tension of prayer--the struggles, the doubts, the answers--to the place where God makes himself real to you. He tackles questions such as:

● What do we do with unanswered prayers and how do we move through them?
● Why does God invite us to ask through prayer if he is aware of every need?
● Is there a right way to pray? If so, what is it?
● How do we learn to hear the Voice of God?

Tired of boring, empty, transactional prayer? This is the book for you.

Words with God is full of small revelations. Reading it is like driving a self-correcting car that nudges you away from the central reservation and into the lane of fuller truth.
For example, the author muses that seeing the Kingdom in action is seeing God's truth demonstrated on earth. Prayer is a means to participate in God's Truth, taking it from a 'thing we do' to being swept up in the Divine mission. Whst a change of perspective. For some reading, you're already there.
For me, I'm blinking in a new light. I'm on about a fifth of the way through the book. But I thoroughly recommend it.

This book will not necessarily show you how to pray. But it's filling me with new zeal because it speaks into the secret place from where we pray.
