Words with God – Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection

With conviction and biblical depth this rising thought leader and popular speaker invites you on a pathway of prayer and simple spiritual practices that will bring the fractured pieces of your life back together.

---

For most of us, prayer is a struggle. Do our prayers even matter? What, if anything, happens when we pray? Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves?

We know we should pray. It would be good for us--help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can feel like a cosmic waste of time.

 In this thoughtful book, bestselling author Addison Bevere takes you into and through the tension of prayer--the struggles, the doubts, the answers--to the place where God makes himself real to you. He tackles questions such as:

· What do we do with unanswered prayers and how do we move through them?

· Why does God invite us to ask through prayer if he is aware of every need?

· Is there a right way to pray? If so, what is it?

· How do we learn to hear the Voice of God?

Tired of boring, empty, transactional prayer? This is the book for you.
