Publisher Description
Learn the revolutionary way to talk with God!
Like millions of Christians, Dr. Larry Crabb has always considered his prayer life a weakness – "dull, intense only in crisis, occasionally meaningful and passionate but mostly lifelessly routine." But for everyone who struggles to pray in a way that matters, who is bored with prayer and doesn't know where else to turn, this groundbreaking book whispers of hope for change.
Something new and real and deep started happening in him, Crabb says, when he began practicing the four steps of what he calls the PAPA prayer – a revolutionary conversational approach to talking with and enjoying God. As this fellow seeker shares his journey and education in the mysteries of prayer, he guides us to see ourselves and God in a different light . . . which will alter the way we talk – and listen – to Him.

"The most challenging concept of this book is to stop before praying and identify to whom you are speaking - sometimes I fall on the floor in awe of the Rev. 4 description, othertimes, I walk with him through green pastures. For some reason his first point was the one that has stuck with me. "

" I listened to the audio version of this book. Crabb's message was a good one: Many of us look at God like a vending machine. Do we ever just love God and have faith just because we do? Good food for thought. "

" One of the most honest and challenging books on prayer that I have ever read. I like it so much I’m teaching a 10-week course on it at church. Focuses on relational prayer rather than “gimme” petitionary-type prayer. "
