About this listen

'What if, until now, you've never really prayed. Not like Jesus designed it, anyway.'

Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus' most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above.

If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton - author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement - addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are.

Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you ...

· 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

· Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world

· And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth.

Prayer is a journey, and this book will help you transition your prayer life from a path littered with half-hearted requests to a treasured journey of ever-deepening, adventurous relationship with Jesus.©2022 Tyler Staton

I'm a big fan of Pete Grieg's straight-forward, practical teachings on prayer, so found myself drawn to this book through its affiliation with the 24-7 prayer movement and related recommendations. Also, it’s hard to ignore such a great title, isn’t it?

I was concerned it might be covering well-trodden ground but found that Staton's approach was refreshing and insightful. His life in prayer flows from the pages with stories of prayer walking as a 13-year-old around his school every day of the summer holidays, through to anecdotes as a pastor and father in New York. Clear teaching from the scriptures underpins it all, from Elijah in the OT to Jesus and the woman caught in adultery in the NT.

One of my favourite aspects of the book is the 'practical application' presented at the end of each chapter. These were attainable e.g. 2 minutes of silence to listen to God at the start of the day, and really focussed on helping the reader deepen in their relationship with God.

Tyler is a great narrator, bringing his words to life with clarity and purpose. Highly recommended.
