Book Overview

Prayer - An Extraordinary Adventure in Faith and Trust

You want to pray, but the words will not come. Or you pray and nothing seems to happen. You wonder, where is God in all of this? How can I find His direction and help? Does prayer make a difference?

Adventures in Prayer takes you on your own personal and spiritual growth adventure to discover how to pray and how down-to-earth conversations with God can be.

Filled with stories of the challenges of everyday life, this book helps you discover that at the heart of the power of prayer is your relationship with God - the ongoing communication with a loving God who personally cares about you. Prayer is asking. Running to the Father . . . and simply asking. But how do we run to the Father? How do we ask?

Catherine Marshall takes you on a journey-an adventure-to explore how to pray:

Prayer is Asking

The Prayer of Helplessness

The Waiting Prayer

The Prayer of Relinquishment

The Prayer in Secret

The Prayer of Joyous Blessing

The Claiming Prayer

At the end of each chapter, Catherine Marshall provides a prayer you can pray to discover your own personal adventure in prayer. Lined journal pages are provided to express your own thoughts on what she has shared or to write your own prayers.

Adventures in Prayer is both inspiring and practical, inviting you to join in the adventure and trust a God who, like a loving father, desires to provide answers and direction and real, practical help to his children.

Lessons from Real Life

"Adventures in Prayer" is a remarkably helpful book. In her writing, Catherine Marshall couples great simplicity with the authority of personal experience. Like many of us, she struggled with prayers that seemed to go unanswered. But through her struggles she learned a lot about what prayer is really all about, and she shares some of those lessons with us in this book. The importance of admitting our helplessness, getting in touch with our deepest dreams, of waiting with persistence, of relinquishing our demands on God, of secrecy, of laying hold of specific promises from God's Scripture are all there. But underlying all is a deep cognizance that in praying we can approach God as we would a loving parent who is completely trustworthy. For people who are less interested in theory and more interested in lessons from real life, this book is highly to be recommended.

Awesome!

Catherine Marshall's legacy is rich and full. She left us so much wisdom on the permanent things. Her prayer journals and other writers are those of a serious inquirer. She never claimed to have all the answers. Some of her questions remained unanswered in her personal life. But she also discovered some profound spiritual insights on her journey. Fortunately for us she put what she discovered in writing.This book equates prayer with adventure. When reading it you will see why. It convinces you of the practicality of prayer.God is the source of creativity, goodness, wisdom, and every other positive imaginable (and even unimaginable). This book helps one to realize the way to connect with that Source is through prayer in Jesus' name.

Remarkable discovery

I thought I knew how to pray until I read this book. It gave me so much peace and it helped me realise that if ever I have a problem and it worries me then I just have to turn the problem over to God. He can deal with it. I now appreciate people better and praying for other people is so easy and fulfilling. I now have a light spirit and I bless the lady who gave me the book to read.

Great book of prayer

This is one of the most helpful books on prayer I have ever read. Catherine Marshall demonstrates the magnificent simplicity of prayer and shares with her readers the truth in how to engage in several types of prayer including The prayer of Helplessness, The Waiting Prayer, and The Prayer That Helps Your Dreams Come True. Don't let the outdated cover deter you. It's as relevant as ever!
