If Christian faith is really a relationship, then you and God need better ways to spend time together.
Unique people can’t all connect with the same approach to prayer.
We need a range of ways to grow closer to God.
We need ways of prayer that fit.
Our personalities are different: Some of us are talkative and some of us are quiet. We need ways to pray that allow us to be who we are.
Our circumstances are different: Some of us are in peaceful times. Some of us have been slammed with tragedy. We need ways to pray that account for what we are facing.
Kneeling with Giants: Learning to Pray with History’s Best Teachers (InterVarsity Press, 2012) explores ten classic ways that Christians practice the life of prayer.
Each one is deeply rooted in a major branch of Christianity.
Each one is very different from all the others.
Each one has shaped the lives of millions of disciples.
One of them is a fit for you.
