PRAY BIG



I'm always looking for ways to freshen my prayer life and go deeper. Pray Big is a great tool, a book that reminds us that God is big, and He can hand Big Hairy Audacious Prayers (BHAPs). Don't you love that? Written in an easy, highly readable style, Pray Big covers pinpoint praying for big things, little things, other people, and ourselves. There's a lot to digest, and though the topics are familiar to anyone who's been a Christian for long, it's filled with fresh reminders and interesting tidbits from the author's own life and experience.

BACK COVER:

Why do we settle for weak, vague prayers, couching our requests in words like "just be with Bob" or "bless Janet in her time of need"? God wants us to b bold and direct in our prayers. It's time to pray big to unleash the power of God in the big and the small things.

Will Davis Jr. calls this kind of specific and biblical prayer "pinpoint prayer." He offers straightforward guidance on how you can call on God with focus and confidence when praying for big miracles, small details, other people, and, yes, even yourself. He teaches you how to pray the Bible back to God and includes one hundred pinpoint prayers based directly on Scripture. Each chapter ends with questions to guide small group discussion and help you develop a more focused, passionate prayer life.

BIO:

Will Davis Jr. is the founding and senior pastor of Austing Christian Fellowship, a nondenominational church in Austin, Texas. He is an avid hiker, mountain climber, and water-skier. He and his wife, Susie, have three children.

This sounds like a book I need!

I've somehow gotten it locked into my head that I don't want to presume upon God.

This leads me to trying to do everything myself so I don't "bother" Him, then when it all falls apart, I wind up running to Him, crying.

You'd think I'd learn...
