    About this ebook

    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. Join Tyler Staton, author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement, as he invites you to discover the incredible gift of prayer.

    Within the pages of Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, Staton addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are. Through timely biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton gives you the tools you need to:

    • 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
    • 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.

    Praise for Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools:

    "No book has ever left me wanting to pray more. In Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, Tyler Staton opens our eyes and hearts to the beauty, mystery, and value of prayer in the life of every believer and skeptic."

    --Christine Caine, bestselling author and founder of A21 and Propel Women

    "'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

      I cant fully explain what this book has done for me. The truths written in here have healed things I didn’t know where sick, voiced things I didn’t know how to ask, and overall just significantly helped me in my prayer life. The way the author writes for some reason just made a lot of things click in my head and in my heart. I will definitely come back to this book again and again and recommend it to my friends. I see this one becoming a classic one day.
    • 5/5
      I've been in church for 40 years, and this is the most helpful teaching on prayer I've ever come across. So thankful, especially, for having the labor and larger purposes of prayer explained. Highly recommend moving it to the top of your to-read list!
