Where Prayer Becomes Real: How Honesty with God Transforms Your Soul

By Kyle Strobel and John Coe

Book Overview

If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God.Spiritual formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what you've been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.

A must read on prayer and the spiritual journey. Theoretical & practical!

I must say it's been an inspiring read that has transformed how I approach prayer and the spiritual life. The authors unpack what honest prayer means, what it looks like - with examples that we can all identify with. This is a liberation from much the distraction, guilt, and confusion we experience in prayer. Recommend highly!
