Is there anything more primal than prayer? We reach out to God, and we hope God is reaching out to us in return. Pete Greig is unwilling to surrender this basic human impulse to any of the cultured complexities that we tend to build around it. With How to Pray, he helps us enter a habit of prayer that is as life-giving as it is simple.

Pete Greig is a gift to the world. This book uses the revolutionary prayer of Jesus as a grounded guide to ignite our spirits to pursue the heart of God. As you read these pages, let these words infuse you with a holy desire for Gods Kingdom to come!

If youre like me, you may have prayed the Lords Prayer many times. It has staying power, doesnt it? But thats not surprising, because its how Jesus teaches us to pray. And it turns out that when it comes to prayer, Jesus is a great teacher for him, praying is not fancy or formal but loving and plainspoken. Pete Greig is a respected authority on exactly this kind of praying: simple, honest, straightforward, from the heart. Even when were asking God for what we want, were giving him what he wants: our hearts. How to Praywill get you started on a lifelong, and life-giving, practice.

In a get-fixed-quick kind of world, Pete Greig meets us with the kind of guidance thats both immediately accessible and deeply thoughtful. For everyone whos wondered how to move the experience of prayer from distant to personal and powerful, How to Prayprovides a starting point for new and seasoned believers alike.

NICOLE UNICE , author of Help! My Bible Is Alive!

For many years now, Pete Greig has been teaching us how to pray. Since the inadvertent start of the 24-7 Prayer movement nearly two decades ago, Petes life and witness have been a provocation to the church to enter more deeply into the mystery, magnitude, agony, and beauty of prayer. In How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People, Pete brings the best of two decades worth of insights to us in a deceptively straightforward and endearingly honest way. Savor this book. Then put it into practice. Your life and your world will be better for it.

ANDREW ARNDT , associate and teaching pastor at New Life Church

The simplicity, clarity, and depth with which Pete talks about prayer is remarkable. Whatever barriers youre facing when it comes to a vibrant prayer life, this book will help you move beyond them and walk into a richer relationship with Christ.
