About this listen
Do you sometimes feel as if no one’s listening to you when you pray? That you’re wasting your time? Or worse, that God is ignoring your prayers, while he’s answering everyone else’s?
Maybe you don’t believe in prayer. After all, prayer means talking to someone you can’t see about things you can’t control. What’s the point?Whether you’re a longtime Christian who needs a shot of adrenaline to reenergize your prayer life or a skeptic who doubts whether prayer works, this book is for you. Here, you’ll learn about people who confronted the same doubts and others who beat seemingly unbeatable odds with prayer, like the author.
Best of all, you’ll learn what the Bible has to say.

If you want positive results from prayer, you first need to pray! But so many people who say they believe in the power of prayer actually pray very little...or not at all. It's time to get serious about prayer.

Pete Greig is a worldwide authority and the face of a generation when it comes to prayer. One of the founders of the 24-7 Prayer movement, he has seen, experienced, and chronicled amazing works of God in the world. While you might imagine him to be puffed up, Pete Greig is entirely the opposite. He is enchanting, down-to-earth, friendly, and most of all, very normal - and yet he tells preposterous tales about prayer (and they're true). He is basically a regular dude who loves to talk with God.

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

In Jesus in Me, Anne Graham Lotz draws on her rich biblical knowledge as well as her personal story - including her recent cancer diagnosis - to help us understand that the Holy Spirit is not a magic genie, a flame of fire, or a vague feeling.

In this seminal teaching, she explores seven key aspects of the Holy Spirit that will revolutionize how you understand and relate to this vital third person in the Trinity.
