About this listen

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 business. 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.

Practical and Inspirational

Pastor Hybels does a great job both inspiring the reader to pray more and to provide practical ways to build and implement a richer time with God.
Over the years I have read many books on prayer but from my perspective this is one of the best. It is definitely worth the time to listen and I plan on going through it again in the next couple of weeks; this next time with my wife.

Good book with some heavy thoughts

Good book overall. With Hybels had read it.

Had some good tactics/techniques for improving your prayer life and growing in faith with God. Had some heavy points that really hit you too. Will likely listen to it again so it all sinks in.

Great book!

Teaches you the way to properly prayer, how to reflect and approach prayer, and how experience the present risenness of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit through constant conversations (through prayer)! Amazing book, great narrator

I I needed to read this book!

I really need it this book and I'm so glad I read it. It did a lot to remind me that no matter how busy my day is, I need to keep God at the forefront of it I need to remember to carve out time of God on a daily basis in order to create and develop a personal intimate relationship with God. It reminded me to develop a relationship that shows that God knows me and I know God in a way that are few of my friends know me. It reminded me to make time to be with God as I would any other friend. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking deepen their relationship with God.
