This is how we pray by Adam Dressler

Prayer remains elusive to so many of us and I think many of us wonder if God is hearing us. Adam Dressler's new book, This is How We Pray, addresses so many struggles that Christians have with prayer.

This is How We Pray is divided into 15 chapters relating to prayer and God. Chapters address building a sort of friendship in praying with God, addressing the guilt that is often in our hearts, and how so many of us worry instead of praying, among other issues. The last chapter, Simple, offers practical steps to consider in making your prayer life better: Talk to Jesus like a friend, Listening to God, praying briefly but often and other truly practical ideas for bettering your prayer life.

This is How We Pray is written in such a way that I truly enjoyed reading it. Dressler made me think and yet I never felt like he was above me. This book felt like a breath of encouraging air to my prayer life. I have read several books on prayer and I think each one has been helpful, but I have to say this one ranks in my top three favorites. I felt like I truly got something out of this book. I appreciated his references to Scripture and to other Spiritual leaders as well as the stories he shared from his own life. I also truly felt encouraged to do prayer a little differently in my own life. I especially liked the chapter on Others. In this chapter, Dressler encourages us to experience empathy for those we pray for and to let that change our prayers. I think this one thing especially will change my prayers. I would encourage any Christian wanting to improve their prayer life to read This is How We Pray.

I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. #Sponsored by Faithwords
