Too busy not to pray : slowing down to be with God / Bill Hybels with LaVonne Neff and Ashley Wiersma.

Rev. and expanded, 3rd ed.

Publication info:

Physical description:

198 p. ; 22 cm.

Summary:

Too Busy Not to Pray is a classic on prayer, helping Christians slow down to draw near to God. Since first appearing in 1988  the world certainly hasn’t slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased. Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families and sex-trafficking touching us daily. The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray. Two truths haven’t changed: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he’s always been; and true prayer–prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God’s work in the world–can’t happen on the fly.  Hybels offers practical, time-tested ideas on slowing down to pray. Revised throughout and including a new introduction and new chapter on prayer and compassion for the world, this twentieth-anniversary edition calls for prayer as a priority and broadens our vision for what our eternal, powerful God does when his people slow down to pray.

Bibliog.     Includes bibliographical references.
Summary This is a call for the church to be the church – burdened for the lost, and using all of its resources in the most effective way possible to reach them. KP Yohanan presents a beautiful way that God is working in these last days.  He proves how ineffective mission trips are, how ineffecient, and how the same resources could be used to help the church around the world send out its own missionaries, who are far stronger than the average American. It is also a radical call to true Christian living – - sacrifice.
