Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, people find prayer to be boring, obligatory, or confusing.

- 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
- Open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth
If you're feeling disheartened, disappointed, or distracted in your prayer life, let Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools be your guide as you learn to enjoy prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined.

- Constantly overwhelmed lives should drive us to prayer at its purest and rawest, but the tendency for many of us is to pray safe, calculated prayers that insulate us from both disappointment and freedom.Highlighted by 2,615 Kindle readers

'Prayer is a search for help outside the self.' Could any statement be more important for our time? Could any act be more essential to spiritual life in our cultural moment? This is a book for our desperate times. My friend Tyler Staton is a world-class leader, a gifted pastor, an extraordinary writer, and, above all, a man of prayer. By reading this book, you will be learning from a master. John Mark Comer, founder of Practicing the Way and author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Tyler Staton is one of America's most inspiring and gifted prayer leaders today, and his brilliant new book flows from the deepest place of his own personal life. At times it feels like holy ground. I particularly appreciated the practical exercises at the end of each chapter, as well as the closing section about the lost art of praying for the lost. Tyler serves up the full menu of prayer--from deep contemplative practices to teaching about the power and necessity of intercessory prayer. There's something here for everyone. It's both an on-ramp for those new to faith who are seeking to grow in a conversational relationship with the Lord and a master class for Christians who are seeking to be stretched and inspired. This book is a vital invitation into the highest calling of every person on the planet, flowing straight from the heart of a contemporary prayer warrior, a respected pastor, and a dear friend. Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer International and senior pastor of Emmaus Road Church

It was a gift to me from a friend. I ended up giving it to another friend before I even finished it, because I knew it would be a life preserver, so to speak. I ordered two more the next day, because I want to finish it, and I know the time will come when someone else will come across my path. Enjoy this beautiful and helpful book.
Totally helped to revamp my prayer life and remind me of the awesome power of our prayers! Really thought-provoking!
Just add it to your cart & buy it right now!
Exactly what I needed in my journey.......I am sure I will be reading it (and putting it into practice) several times over.

Apparently a review has to be a certain amount of words. So, I am still writing... Just read this book. You'll be grateful you did.
I found myself journalling and really just allowing Holy Spirit to speak to me through these pages and then having many "Selah" moments to pause and really let the truths sink in. God has really spoken to me through this book and I'm so glad it was recommended by Jonathan Helser on Instagram. 🙏❤️
