Beginning a Praying Life is a booklet based on the bestselling book A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller. This handy, pocket-sized primer is an easy way to inspire someone who is new to the spiritual discipline of prayer, or to reignite passion in someone who is stuck in attempts to develop a consistent prayer life.
The booklet opens with a simple, relatable, and incredible story about answered prayer. It identifies six cures for cynicism in prayer, and each one becomes a bit more challenging: Be warm but wary when it comes to the problem of evilLearn to hope again and trust God's goodnessDevelop a childlike spirit as you cry out for God's helpCultivate a thankful spirit even in the face of sufferingPractice repentance and experience restorationDevelop an eye for Jesus in your everyday lifePersonal stories are woven throughout, and Miller often showcases his own lack of faith to prove his point. Beginning a Praying Life makes for a practical handout to begin a lifelong change of heart about why and how to pray.
