Synopsis

Does prayer actually make a difference?

Beginning a Praying Life is a booklet based on the bestselling book A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller. This handy, pocket-sized primer is an easy way to inspire someone who is new to the spiritual discipline of prayer, or to reignite passion in someone who is stuck in attempts to develop a consistent prayer life.

The booklet opens with a simple, relatable, and incredible story about answered prayer. It identifies six cures for cynicism in prayer, and each one becomes a bit more challenging:

  • Be warm but wary when it comes to the problem of evil
  • Learn to hope again and trust God’s goodness
  • Develop a childlike spirit as you cry out for God’s help
  • Cultivate a thankful spirit even in the face of suffering
  • Practice repentance and experience restoration
  • Develop an eye for Jesus in your everyday life
Personal stories are woven throughout, and Miller often showcases his own lack of faith to prove his point. Beginning a Praying Life makes for a practical handout to begin a lifelong change of heart about why and how to pray.

From the Back Cover

Let’s face it: Prayer is hard!
In fact, prayer is so hard that most of us simply do not pray unless an illness or a public setting, such as saying grace at a meal, demands it. But a life of prayer can help us overcome a life of fear, anxiety, joylessness, and cynicism.

Excerpted from the bestselling book A Praying Life, these nuggets of wisdom from Paul Miller encourage Christians who want to know the joy and power of a vibrant prayer life.
