A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World Audiobook

" Many Christians (admittedly or not) struggle with prayer. Miller inspects his life, sharing what he has learned about prayer through various seasons and circumstances. He emphasizes the need for genuine closeness with God, not attainable via scattershot attempts at hitting the prayer jackpot. Near the end, Miller offers practical suggestions on how to begin praying with intention. While not perfect in its execution, it is a refreshingly honest and helpful (and thus worthwhile) book on prayer. "
