Are you searching for something deeper in your prayer life? What would it look like to engage God in a wrestling match, and live to tell about it? In this bold and beautiful account of Uncensored Prayer, author Joy Wilson shares her insights and experiences of taking a radical risk of wrestling with God in Uncensored Prayer.

Uncensored Prayer is not about practicing a new religion, but instead taking the leap of faith that God wants to engage each of us in a loving, trusting, and ongoing dialog of restoration, unhindered by traditional structures. When we get real with God, the door opens wide enough for us to hear God's suggestions, wisdom, and understanding.

Joy's experience will both shock you and invite you into a radically deeper experience of spiritual communion with God, one that revolutionizes your practice of prayer.
