Pray Big: Learn to Pray Like and Apostle

by Alistair Begg

So many of us struggle with prayer. Many books have been written on the subject and there’s a reason for that. Prayer comes hard to most of us, in most seasons. And when we do pray, we often don’t know what to say. We ask questions like – what is it that my Father loves to hear about? What are the best things I could prayer for my family, my church, and myself? This short book by renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg combines warmth, clarity, humor, and practicality as he examines Paul’s prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus. Paul clearly enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers can serve to motivate us to pray and set an excellent example. This is a read that will help you to pray bigger and better prayers as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!

With this simple, soulful practice, it is possible to clear the decision-making chaos and finally decide without regret or second-guessing. Whether you’re in the midst of a major life transition or are weary of the low-grade anxiety that daily life can bring, Emily will help you create space for your soul to breath – so you can live life with God at a gentle pace!
