I am reviewing a copy of of The Possibility of Prayer through InterVarsity Press and Netgalley:
Has their ever been a time where the business of life, affects your prayer life? An then there are those times we choose to be busy, because when we are busy we tend to not think about what is causing us stress as much, and instead focus on the tasks set before us. But The Possibility of Prayer reminds us that prayer is not only for the spiritually elite, but in fact it is for everyone, and that includes you.
John Starke tells us that Prayer is either Prayer is either the greatest insanity or the most wonderful news. Prayer is calling on God for his attention. I choose to believe that prayer is the most wonderful news. He then goes on to tell us that our faith is a mystery because God is in us, beyond us and with us all at the same time.
The Possibility of prayer reminds us that prayer is the place we go to be healed, and to experience love freely and fully. In prayer we experience God’s divine welcome and joy. We experience being known and seen. God is fully present and invites us to be fully present with him.
I give The Possibility of Prayer five out of five stars and would recommend it to anyone who wants to deepen their prayer life!
Happy Reading!
