Book Synopsis

Your guide to deep, life-changing prayer

"One of the most practically transformative books I have ever read."--Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author

Prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right. It isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God.

● pray within the forgiveness Christ offers
● pray as one beloved of God
● pray as a way to open your heart to the truth of yourself
● pray in a way that moves beyond clichés to discover where prayer becomes real

Through prayer, you can delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved.

Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.
