Transform your faith and discover a powerful connection with God through the unexpected gift of prayer.

Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, people find prayer to be boring, obligatory, or confusing.

In Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, Staton addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are. Through timely biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton gives you the tools you need to:

  • Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer
  • Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more
  • Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life
  • Open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth

If you're feeling disheartened, disappointed, or distracted in your prayer life, let Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools be your guide as you learn to enjoy prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined.

I would recommend this one to anyone. From those looking to discover a new heart to prayer, to those looking to learn what prayer is to begin with, it is a terrific book.
Only recommendation is that the chapters need to be reorders by Audible. The opening credits are placed last, so each chapter is one off. Doesn’t really affect readability though!

Refreshing and inspiring.

Tyler does a great job leading one’s appetite for prayer and the importance of prayer. Loved the stories and the practices couple in the stories. One thing, the chapter titles didn’t seem to match the audio chapters. But overall, a great reading.

Great book to orient one on prayer

It’s a twice and yearly read.

Must read

This book is full of wonderful information on spiritual disciplines and how to put them into practice in your own life.

One of the most insightful books I’ve ever read.

The simple Truths communicated here are heartening & powerful. Reminds me of Lewis's works. The invitation to dive into the deep end of relationship with the Creator is so enticingly delivered throughout this short book. My only complaint is that I cannot take voluming notes in the margins of an audio book. I had to buy the hard copy version as well. It's totally worth a second & third read!

Practicality meets Passion

Gently powerful, desperately passionate, inconspicuously instructive. Like the inverse whisper of the Serpent, the author springs seismic shifts in perception of prayer in life.

Beautifully written… heart felt, honest, helpful without being a to do list. A book I will recommend but never give away my copy…

Rich

This book is very insightful and fresh perspective on prayer. As I start the new year, I’m inspired to incorporate prayer more into my daily life. The author does a very good job in the Audible. It’s pleasant I listen to. I would also recommend getting the book. The “practices” are easier to follow and meditate in the book.

Renewed Praying and Living

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Can’t say enough about the solid basis for the points conveyed in this book. God seeks for our intimate prayers with Him to invite us into the loving relationship He always desired and then out of that relationship to be compelled to impact the world for His glory. The book is written in such a real; understandable way, taking the reader from the point of question to the point of realization in God’s desire for us. Beautifully done and encouraging as we join together for the revival God had in mind for His Church… the ongoing kind that only ends in ahis second coming. To God be the glory.

Prayer as transformational love for God and the world
