Product Description:
Most of us have trouble finding time to pray. There's church and school and neighborhood and job and friends and recreation. And then the crises hit! Time for prayer seems an impossible luxury. As a pastor, Bill Hybels knows hundreds of people with schedules like this. Yet in his own life he has made the hard discovery that prayer doesn't happen on the run. He decided he was too busy not to pray. Hybels's accessible introduction to prayer has already helped over 400,000 readers develop a rich and regular prayer life in the midst of life's busyness. Now, in this revised and expanded 10th anniversary edition, he includes new insights from his years of ministry and his own spiritual journey. He shows how to slow down to pray, listen to God, respond to what we hear, practice the presence of God and overcome prayer barriers. His fun and practical book offers the resources we need for growing, ongoing experiences in prayer.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - simple
One thing I have agreed with the other reviews on, is that this book is a quick easy reading book. I have really enjoyed reading this. Hybels has a way of bringing things down to a level of simplicity that everyone can understand. The last few chapters of the book have been the best to me. In them he talks about what might I be doing to mess up the prayer process. What sins have I not confessed, what extra noise is going on in my life to make it harder to hear Gods voice. THe book is not super deep, but is practical.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Creator of the Universe on line 1, is anyone calling?
Got a lot going on? Do you think you are too busy to pray? Well, this book shows you the benefits of an active prayer life, an action plan for starting or restarting a prayer life, and also some reasons why we should pray.

The author has broken the book down into 4 major sections with a few chapters each. God calls us into his presence, God invites us to talk with him, God breaks down the barriers between us, and God speaks to our hearts.

The first section is all about who God is as a listener and a grantor of our prayers. The author wants us to see the character of God throughout scripture and also the reasons God wants to grant our prayers.

The next section speaks of the ways in which we should pray. What sorts of things should we be praying for and why that is important to each of us. "God doesn't want us to pile up impressive phrases. He doesn't want us to use words ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Slow Down and Experience God
This book is short, simple and straight forward. Follow the advice and experience a profound shift in your relationship with God. If you follow these prayer strategies it can change your life. Dynamite comes in small packages. When you pray correctly and consistently you release the Power within. I'll share an experience after prayer, (day 10 of applying what I learnt in Hybels book) I felt light, almost floaty and my eyes (closed) were vibrating. I felt such a sense of peace. I thought is this what it feels like to be in the presence of God. Is this the anointing of God? I am grateful to Hybels for sharing his wisdom and step-by-step strategy to pray to God. For the first time I feel power and purpose in prayer. In a sense I have always known this, but never really experienced it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent
Our prayer group has used this book for our weekly sessions and we have all been very happy with it. It is easy to read, interesting and very practical. The discussion questions in the back make leading the group easy, and yet the questions themselves always challenge and lead to good discussions. We have all learned a lot about prayer and have really appreciated the author's own experiences and struggles. Highly recommended.
