of Jesus.
In 21 Days to Childlike Prayer, you’ll witness how God
responds in power and love to your specific prayers. As you dive
into what the Bible says about communing with God, you will…
This concise 3-week devotional journey will show you how to turn your daily worries, frustrations, and dreams into prayers throughout your Christian life. This transformative resource is perfect for individual and group study, empowering you to be intentional—and fruitful—in your time with God.
“With so many books on prayer, a new one needs a fresh
perspective on the subject to distinguish itself from others. Jed
succeeds by helping us see prayer as a child talking to his or her
heavenly Father in simple, childlike ways. And like any good book
on prayer, 21 Days to Childlike Prayer makes you want to
pray.”
—Donald S. Whitney, author of Spiritual Disciplines for the
Christian Life and Praying the Bible
“I’m at an advantage as I read 21 Days to Childlike
Prayer; I’ve watched the author, year after year, put every
word into action. This book is an accessible, simple tool to help
transform your prayer life and your heart. You will grow in your
prayer life, and you will also grow in your faith, love, and trust
of your heavenly Father, who bids you come to Him as His
child.”
—Trillia Newbell, author of Sacred Endurance, Fear and
Faith, and Creative God, Colorful Us
“This is not a book telling you how badly you should feel for
how little you pray. It’s also not a book telling you how to become
an expert in prayer. To the contrary, Jed shows us practically how
we can overcome our hesitancies and approach our Father not as
fearful applicants but as beloved children.”
—Russell Moore, Christianity Today
“I rarely see a pastor passionate about prayer. But that’s what
you get in Jed. He is on the front lines of life and has learned
how to weave prayer into the fabric of his life. What makes this
book so helpful is he gives specific and concrete steps for putting
into practice the deep structures of a praying life. This book will
get you moving closer to your heavenly Father!”
—Paul E. Miller, author of A Praying Life
“This book is simple, practical, and most of all, doable! If you
want to learn how to pray to a gracious and loving heavenly Father,
this can help you get started.”
—Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Wake Forest, NC
“I had the privilege of calling Jed my pastor when we lived in
Tennessee. His sermons were special and every Sunday, my husband or
I would say, ‘That is a man who prays.’ You could see it in his
preaching, in his family, and in the way he lives. 21 Days to
Childlike Prayer is excellent—clear, humble, and helpful, from
a man who preaches what he practices.”
—Scarlet Hiltibidal, AfraidOfAllTheThings.com
“This is a poignant, purposeful, and practical book on
approaching prayer with a childlike perspective. Prayer is often
the most neglected discipline, and this is a refreshing reminder to
embrace God with our B-E-S-T. If you need a boost to your prayer
life, this book is a helpful guide that will prompt you to come to
our ‘heavenly Dad’ with expectancy and anticipation!”
—Matt Carter, lead pastor, Sagemont Church, Houston, TX
“There are books on prayer that teach you to pray, but there are
very few that compel you to pray; this work accomplishes both. With
relevant illustrations, substantive and practical instruction, and
a call to devotion in prayer, one leaves from this book with more
than a short stint of 21 days of prayer; they are entered into a
lifetime of prayer. It is one of the most encouraging books on
prayer that I’ve read.”
—Lemanuel R. Williams, deputy director, Peacemakers
