We prize accomplishments and productivity over time in prayer. Even Christians experience this prayerlessness—a kind of practical unbelief that leaves us marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy. Prayer is all about relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the popular seminar by the same name, A Praying Life has discipled thousands of Christians to a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. When Jesus describes the intimacy He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). A Praying Life feels like having dinner with good friends. It is the way we experience and connect to God. In A Praying Life, author Paul Miller lays out a pattern for living in relationship with God and includes helpful habits and approaches to prayer that enable us to return to a childlike faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781631466830-praying-life-connecting-with-god-in-a-distracting-world-miller-paul-e.pdf?v=1648034985\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eView excerpt here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"NavPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":10490229162027,"sku":"9781631466830","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781631466830-Miller-A-praying-life.jpg?v=1600071058"},{"product_id":"9781910587997-revolutionary-work-taylor-william","title":"Revolutionary Work","description":"\u003c!-- FXB170912 --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe spend more time working than doing almost anything else - yet work is often difficult, unsatisfying and frustrating.

It is among the best of the rising number of books that instruct Christians on how to cross the bridge from enjoying God on the Lord's Day to enjoying God every day. Tim Chester is in no danger of making God little more than a useful utility to increase our pleasure; he is far too God-centred and gospel-centred for that. But if we desire to experience for ourselves a little more (one of Tim's favourite words) of the truth that in God's presence there are pleasures forever more, we shall be hard-pressed to find a better guide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--- D A Carson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the authors of Scripture onwards, the Lord's people have always known that the purpose of life is \"to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever\".
