PRAYING LIKE MONKS, LIVING LIKE FOOLS: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer
Tyler Staton
It's time to experience prayer in its purest form - a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton - author, pastor, and US 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.
The coolest thing about this book is that I saw it on a list of books that my daughter-in-law was getting ready to read and I asked her to tell me about it when she was done...not knowing that she had already got a copy for me. The second coolest thing is that it didn't fill me with guilty feelings about the shape my prayer life was in, but gave me motivation and practical suggestions on how to DO something about it. This is an easy-to-understand book, but now I need to let it affect my actions and not just my brain.
First line: It's eerily quiet tonight in the city that never sleeps.
Page 56/Line 5: Calling God "Father" is dismissable today.
Last line: It looks less like intensity, and a lot more like joy.
