We are designed to make connections to God through prayer in more
ways than we can imagine.
Prayer can be so much more than a simple conversation. It can be
a wordless connection with God, a step beyond the boundary of the
separated self. It can be a way to listen to the silence. "And it
can be learned." We can learn how to pray in ways we never thought
possible. It doesn't take more effort; it takes more
understanding.
Wilson's book shows how the brain is designed by God To calm
itself To relax into love To become increasingly aware of how
connected everything is in God To experience a deeper intimacy with
our creator
Prayer is something that our brains "want" to do with a little
help. Ken Wilson tells us how.
Praise for "Mystically Wired"
"Smart, savvy, candid, credible, unafraid, self-effacing, and
shot through with passionate love of Jesus . . . yes, hands down,
this is the best book on prayer that I have ever read.

"I confess, I don't normally like books on prayer, but
"Mystically ""Wired "is a big exception. While this book is
incredibly practical, I was routinely blown away by the intuitive
genius of Ken's view and application of prayer. Page after page,
thinking I knew what was next, I was surprised with fresh insight
and unique perspectives on connecting with God. Being an
evangelist, I was excited to realize I could also send this to
spiritual friends who don't follow Jesus as a way to introduce
him."

"National Evangelist"

"Fellowship USA"
"It began the day Jesus' disciples came to him and asked, 'Lord,
teach us to pray.' Ever since, Christ-followers have been wanting
to learn the ways of prayer. Ken Wilson's "Mystically Wired "is an
extraordinary contribution to that learning tradition. It's a
wonderful read that leaves you feeling, 'Yes, this is for me. Yes,
I can do this. Yes, it's within reach.'"
-- Brian McLaren
"Author/Speaker/Activist"
"I wandered away from religion because religion thought it had
all the answers. Pastor Ken Wilson, though, understands that life
and faith are really about having the right questions. If you want
to pray for favors, put this book down now. If you want the
answers, the help here is only partial. But if you're looking for a
wide-ranging inquiry, and a path that can bring you closer to the
mystery--without the mumbo-jumbo--delve within."
-- Carl Safina
"Author, Song for the Blue ""Ocean and The View From ""Lazy
Point"
""Mystically Wired "was a breath of fresh apologetic air for me.
I pray and I experience God, and I find fixed hour prayer deeply
meaningful, but this book shows that God made us to do such
things and our brain is wired to communicate with God."
-- Scot McKnight
"Karl A. Olsson Professor in"
"Religious Studies"
"North Park University"
"In my library there are scores of books on prayer--by legends
and modern guides as well. It is not easy to make a genuine
contribution to this body of literature. But Ken Wilson has done
so. "Mystically Wired "manages to bring together the best of the
sciences and philosophies of mind, brain, and consciousness with
deep spirituality and candid personal reflection. While it will
happily fit my on my shelf, it fits best in a heart yearning to
pray."
-- Todd Hunter
"Anglican Bishop"
"Ken Wilson's new book is fascinating intellectually and
engaging spiritually. Its theme is a great discussion starter with
Christians and non-Christians alike "
