Pursuing an Expansive Life of Prayer: In wondrous contrast to silent
idols, the one true God speaks. He addresses his people in love, and
it’s their great privilege to answer him in prayer. At its root, prayer
isn’t mere self-expression or a prod to get a silent God to speak, but
it is a learned skill to answer God’s initiating word in Christ.Through
this thoughtful book, author and pastor Daniel J. Brendsel explains how
responding to God can nurture prayerful engagement with Scripture, shape
healthy rhythms among God’s praying people, and spur excitement for
communion with God. For those disappointed by their current life of
prayer, Answering Speech invites readers to enter into an expansive and
exuberant life of response to the Father through the Son in the power of
the Holy Spirit.
