About this listen

 'What if, until now, you've never really prayed. Not like Jesus designed it, anyway.'

Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus' most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above.

If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton - author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement - addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are.

Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you ...

· Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer

· Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more

· Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life

· Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world

· And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth.

Prayer is a journey, and this book will help you transition your prayer life from a path littered with half-hearted requests to a treasured journey of ever-deepening, adventurous relationship with Jesus.©2022 Tyler Staton (P)2022 Zondervan Christian Living Christianity

There is no better place to be that’s walking with Jesus. Not in ‘following my faith’, or ‘working at my relationship with God’ - but simply lingering with Him, won’t only ‘wasting’ time in the presence of the One who loves me more than I will ever know.

I met Jesus again whilst listening to this book. I wept, I laughed, my heart burned within me as I recognised the voice of Christ wooing me back to Himself. Thank you so much for sharing, so transparently, your own relationship with Him, and your vision for a church that knows Him richly and deeply without our own agenda, meeting only His agenda.

This is a counter-cultural book that sets out the deep passion and longing of God for us to KNOW Him as fully as we have already been known BY Him.

An excellent read, well developed premise that nicely illustrates the importance of developing a prayer rhythm. Tyler has inspired me to establish my own rhythm and become more focused in prayer.
