Publisher's summary

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. Here, 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

A call to pray like the early church

This book is a call to make the modern church a true house of prayer. it is a call to believers to pray and not give up. I was encouraged and devastated by the message because I am aware of my own lack of prayer. Buy this book a begin a journey to radical faith and lessons in perseverance.

Well done

This book made me really think about, and understand that prayer is not just a solitary act, but it is, and should be part of our lives.

Great content

The information is very very good. Respectfully, the author should not have been the one to read it.

Vital enrichment to go higher up and deeper in.

This book is for those who long to make prayer a reality transcending duty and practice. This book is for those who realize prayer is experience, devotion, fidelity and relational…but need a loving nudge.
