Extreme Prayer: The Impossible Prayers God Promises to Answer
About this ebook
What do you do when your whole spiritual life falls apart? It is in these heart-hungry moments―when we feel overwhelmed or alone, struggle with unanswered prayers, aren't sure what to do, or are crying out for God's help―that we are surprisingly poised to pray the most effective kinds of prayers possible. Extreme Prayer taps into that longing for connection with God when we need it most by teaching us to pray the kinds of prayers Jesus promised to answer with unlimited power. It's not about how to pray more . . . it's about praying differently, and intentionally tapping into all of Jesus's open-ended promises in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom impact.
Filled with practical wisdom and stories from Greg's time in West Africa as a missionary, Extreme Prayer offers:
- Discussion questions for small groups or personal reflection
- Guidance on no longer viewing Christian prayer as a way to get what you want—but to draw closer to God and his heart
- Encouragement for trusting God in the face of unanswered prayers
- Insights on building this spiritual discipline into a vibrant, meaningful part of your life
In Extreme Prayer, Greg Pruett searches the Scriptures to discover the kinds of prayers that God has promised to answer, challenging you to access their power and see His immeasurable glory unleashed in your prayer life.
