I read a really good book on prayer recently by Paul Miller – A Praying Life.
“American culture is probably the hardest place in the world to learn to pray. We are so busy that when we slow down to pray, we find it uncomfortable. We prize accomplishments, production…It feels useless, as if we are wasting time. Every bone in our bodies screams, “Get to work.”—Paul Miller
It was very helpful and explains key concepts clearly and with great personal illustrations. Check it out!
