About this ebook

From the self confessed 'Mr Bean of the Christian faith' - and one half of the most entertaining double-act on the Christian live stage circuit, Jeff Lucas lets you in how to get over 10 common barriers to prayer; not simply with words, but through finding the heart and mind you need to discover the reality of a life of prayer.

With Jeff Lucas' typical wit and word play, the title 'Standing on My Knees' lets you know you're in for something wise but not weighty, deep but not desparate and even funny but not frivolous. Just as honest in print as he is on stage with fellow writer and raconteur, Adrian Plass, Jeff illustrates his message - that you can grow a one-to-one relationship with God - using his own experience of the trials, torments and even trivialities of trying to live by faith.

Updated and upgraded from his 2003 title 'How Not to Pray', this reissue isn't meant as a book of ready to use utterances written by someone else, nor is it a recipe book for standard, copybook prayers. Rather it's the beginning of a journey into a lifelong, fulfilling life of prayer.

'Standing On My Knees' Is:
- A revised and reissued edition of Jeff's 2003 book 'How Not To Pray'.
- An encouragement who feel inadequate in prayer or find praying difficult.
- A guide to growing a lifelong, fulfilling life of prayer in relationship with God.

Jeff doesn't set out to humiliate those of us who find it hard to pray, or to give simplistic words that give us a false sense of having prayed. Instead, he highlights how God is already listening and already in relationship with us, and then helps us get our prayer habits into place so we can be more aware of his presence.
