    About this audiobook

    Good things come to those who believe . . . right?

    People like to say, “Prayer works.” But what does that mean? Prayer works for what? Getting the answers from God that we want so much?

    While God certainly cares for your deepest needs, Skye Jethani wants you to know that prayer is so much more than a two-way transaction with a heavenly vending machine. Jesus didn’t pray like that. And with a pastor’s heart, Skye wants to take you deeper into what Jesus, the lover of your soul, had to say about talking with God.

    In What If Jesus Was Serious About Prayer?, you’ll benefit not only from Skye’s words of wisdom but his doodles that help the visual learner connect with spiritual truth. Prayer isn’t about getting answers, but getting God. We need more prayer in our lives—not because God can give us what we crave, but because He offers himself to us in love.

      This book really introduced a new dynamic of prayer that I hadn't considered but certainly makes sense... if we are to pray without cease. Since that's the case, it makes total sense that prayer is about communion with God more than just communication with Him.
    • 5/5
      Excellent point by point reminders of why we should pray and how to make prayer a more continuous part of your everyday life. Great scriptural references included.

      Amazing book. Definitely a hallmark in my library on prayer and communing with God. Recommend it for any Christian who wants to be closer to God and develop a praying life.
