Synopsis

Although 90 percent of us pray, very few of us feel as if we have mastered prayer. A Year of Living Prayerfully is a fascinating, humorous, globe-trotting exploration of prayer that will help you grow your own prayer life.

While working on a humanitarian project related to exposing human trafficking, Jay and Michelle Brock felt they needed better and stronger prayer support. In an effort to learn more about prayer, the couple traveled the globe, exploring the great prayer traditions: in mountains and monasteries, in communes and cathedrals, standing up and lying down, every hour and around the clock. Jared’s witty reflections on his fast-paced journey will both entertain and prompt you to think about your own prayer life.

As you follow Jared on his eclectic journey, you’ll discover an expansive vision of what prayer can be and how much it is has changed the course of human history.

Spark growth in your own prayer life with this exhilarating and charming journey through prayer.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Hi Everybody!

Last year I embarked on an adventure - a year of living prayerfully. I had no idea what a crazy year it would be. I hadn't planned to walk across a bed of hot coals. I didn't in my wildest dreams think I'd get to have lunch at the Pope's house.

I told people I wanted to spice up my prayer life, but this year wasn't about stuffing cilantro in a burrito- it was about learning how to cook. I felt a deep need for power in prayer as I tried to advocate for victims of human trafficking.

Centuries ago, people went on long spiritual journeys called pilgrimages. These trips helped people to refocus on things above. Somewhere along the way, we've lost that practice. I wanted to rediscover it. This book is a record of my modern-day prayer pilgrimage, written for all those who can't take a year off to traipse around the globe.

I wrote this for you.
