The Prayer Dare: Take the Challenge That Will Transform Your Relationship With God
WARNING: If readers accept the author's challenge, they will
pray more deeply, effectively, and regularly than they ever have
before. Through powerful daily "dares" or challenges, Ron Kincaid,
pastor of Sunset Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon, guides
readers not just to think or talk or read about prayer . . . but to
actually pray. Individuals and small groups will gain confidence in
their prayer lives, strengthen their understanding of prayer's
purpose, and learn how to apply key scriptural principles of prayer
to their everyday lives.
The Prayer Dare is a practical, no-nonsense handbook that
demonstrates concepts with relatable illustrations and then invites
readers to engage in simple exercises to make the "dare" a personal
reality. Journaling space is also provided to record practice and
progress. Dares include "Don't Be Afraid to Ask," "Pray Like You
Mean It," "Take God Seriously," and "Be Transparent." Each dare
builds on the last, and as readers take the challenges one-by-one,
they will begin to do something incredible: pray.
