Synopsis

A friendly, approachable guide to discover why prayer matters to Christians in the 21st Century

Christian Prayer For Dummies explores how prayer is the "x-factor" for Christians to transform their lives in today's increasingly complex world. Readers find out that prayer is not a ritual, but a dynamic conversation with a personal God, and can be practiced in many ways and styles based on their own individual needs. They also discover how prayer can bring their family, small group, and church closer together and mend torn relationships. Author Richard Wagner answers in a refreshingly candid manner the basic questions-why, when, and how to pray-as well as the toughest issues that prayer has to offer-what it means to pray for God's will, how to discern God 's voice, and what to do about "lost prayers". It offers a minibook of powerful prayers that people can use when their own words fail them.
