Book Synopsis
Can we engage in prayer that is more effective, less harmful, and doesn't make God look bad?
Is petitionary prayer an archaic and superstitious practice better left for old-time religious folk? Is there a more effective method of praying that doesn't put all the responsibility on God? Theologian, therapist, and ordained pastor Mark Karris offers a first-of-a-kind book that explores petitionary prayer alongside theodicy, social justice, and personal moral responsibility.
Rich with theological wisdom and enormously practical, Divine Echoes reveals a revolutionary model of petitionary prayer that Karris refers to as "conspiring prayer." Filled with real-life examples and case studies, this book will inform and equip both individuals and churches to pray transformative and subversive prayers that will increase God's shalom in the world.
