Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer

Well written and engaging

One of my mentors recommended this book to me. She said that it changed her life when she read it. I ordered it that night, and I must agree. It is very important to incorporate prayer into your daily life. I struggle with this so this was another great resource to be able to do this.

Great book very practical easy to understand gives good insight to prayer and the different types of prayer and how to apply it to your life. It also gives really practical examples and really enjoyable read it helps you focus on God in reverence and gives you tools to draw you closer to Jesus and Develop greater intimacy with him.it also really gives a good understanding of your authority in prayer through Jesus.

This book is so well written, down to earth and rich in example, encouragement and need for prayer. A worthwhile guide and handbook for the timid who are fearful of approaching the Lord, or feel the need to adopt a stilted, practiced prayer. There is wisdom for the seasoned prayer warrior, as well. This book is food for the hungry and thirsty soul of all believers . . . there is such strength in prayer!

Love this book because it is down to earth and makes prayer a very, very accessible part of your daily routine and worship. The author has "been there, done that" by exploring the very real life misunderstandings, resistance and awkwardness of prayer/praying. Good examples and exploration of the topic of prayer, but more importantly at the end of each chapter there are exercises to "DO SOMETHING" and not just talk about it or hope you get around to prayer and praying sometime. I highly recommend this book and have given several as gifts. Prayer is no long an "add on" to my every day life, but a joy and something I look forward to - which I thought I would never experience.
