Danielle StricklandEveryone prays.But no one finds it easy.We all need a little help.Pete Greig has been teaching on prayer - and leading a non-stop prayer movement - for over twenty years. Here, he puts his life''s work into a response to the question everybody ultimately asks: how do I pray?This down-to-earth introduction to life''s greatest adventure will guide you deeper in your relationship with God, helping you to become more centred and still, clearer in discerning God''s voice, more able to make sense of your disappointments and more expectant for miraculous breakthroughs too. It''s full of honest, hard-won wisdom interspersed with real-life stories - some humorous, others moving - to equip and inspire your prayer life. Journeying through the Lord''s Prayer, and accompanied by online videos from The Prayer Course, which has been used by more than a million people, it unpacks nine essential aspects of prayer: stillness, adoration, petition, intercession, perseverance, contemplation, listening, confession and spiritual authority.From one of today''s most visionary communicators, for those who''ve been praying for years as well as those who want to pray but don''t know where to begin, How to Pray is the simple, life-changing guide you''ve been waiting for.

Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion and deception. When life falls apart and we need God''s comfort; in moments of cultural turmoil when we need God''s clarity; facing formidable decisions when we need God''s guidance; desiring a deeper faith when we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation. Having addressed God''s silence in God on Mute, and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience - How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ''s playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God''s ''still, small voice'' within.

Med uppfriskande ärlighet och humor utforskar Pete Greig historien om Jesu lekfulla, gripande samtal på vägen till Emmaus. Han väcker liv i vitt skilda ämnen, från biblisk meditation och profetiskt tal till uttydning av drömmar och den urgamla metoden lectio divina.

I den här boken blandas historisk visdom från många olika traditioner med insikter som författaren samlat på sig under tjugo års vandring med Gud i bön, vilket gör den till en oumbärlig resurs – den hjälper nya troende, mogna lärjungar och hela församlingar att urskilja Guds ord och hans viskning i vår tids galna och stormiga värld.

Pete Greig är grundare av den globala bönerörelsen 24–7 Prayer, som är en ekumenisk rörelse med värdeorden bön, mission och rättvisa. Han är även huvudpastor i Emmaus Rd i Guildford, England. Pete är med och skriver andakter för Lectio 365 och är även författare till flera bästsäljande böcker, bland annat Gud i tyst läge och Lär oss att be: En enkel guide för vanliga människor, vilken är föregångaren till den här boken
