Publisher Description
Experience the power of prayer in a whole new way as you learn to pray with confidence and assurance.
Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he offers you a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer.
Everyone has a reason to pray. We long to see God come through for us and those we love. But sometimes he doesn't, and where does that leave us? Are we doing something wrong? Does he not hear? How come some people's prayers seem more effective than others? We ask these questions, and then we lose heart and give up on prayer—the very weapon God has given us to not lose heart.
In Moving Mountains, John Eldredge helps you navigate these difficult questions and offers a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. When you discover that prayer is not just asking God to do something—prayer is a partnership with God—new possibilities open before you. We are God's sons and daughters, given the authority of Jesus Christ; we have a greater role in prayer than we ever thought. You will discover how to experience the power of daily prayer and learn the major types of prayers, including:

In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. You personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God's heart as well as the mountains before you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eldredge (Wild at Heart) dives deep into scripture, pop culture, and his own personal life to appeal for practiced, relentless prayer in order to open up the doors to God's grace. With an emphasis on keeping a patient heart, he instructs readers in prayers he tailors to finding and breaking down barriers that obstruct believers from embracing the mysteries of life. "Effective prayer is often like felling of a great tree," he writes: "it takes repeated blows." The image of Elijah of Tishbite on a mountaintop, praying over and over for rain, serves as Eldredge's starting point. From there he branches out to incorporate lessons garnered from an array of sources, including George MacDonald, Oswald Chambers, and C.S. Lewis. Eldredge spends the most space leading readers through scripture, but he also devotes many pages to writing out lengthy petitions to God, an approach that lends patience and perseverance to his teachings. This step-by-step guide of targeted prayer leads readers onto the path of a quiet but persistent relationship with God.
