If you sometimes find prayer HARD or BORING, this is the episode for you. Special guest host Jonathan Friz interviews Matthew Lilley about his new book, Enjoying Prayer.Get the paperback, e-book or audiobook at http://enjoyingprayer.comAbout the Enjoying Prayer book:The prophet Isaiah makes a stunning claim that God's people can find joy in His house of prayer. Yet for many Christians, their experience of prayer is not joy but boredom or frustration. Where is the disconnect? God's promise of joyful prayer can easily be hijacked by common hindrances such as a wrong view of God, a lack of identity, religiosity, the busyness of life and isolation from Christian community. Enjoying Prayer exposes these hindrances and provides a biblical roadmap for a thriving prayer life. Through keys such as intimacy with God, a foundation of worship, and a praying community, you can begin to enter into the joyful prayer that is promised to every believer. It's time to start enjoying prayer!Another new book!
