An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using
historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical
instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living
God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most
astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious
promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing
Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing,
confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt
this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation
to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for
prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection
with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever
imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and
national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common
roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God
just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling,
and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . .
. Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and
practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence,
persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder
and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a
powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a
fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of
communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine
power on earth
