Adam is a friend and a great leader who loves Jesus. I mean loves Jesus with everything in him. Seeing Adams faith and relationship with Jesus expressed in a book on simple prayer, has me all in! Ill be giving a copy to everyone on my team at Catalyst because I think its that important to read!
T YLER R EAGIN , executive director of CATALYST
I love this book because I love the author! Adam is so easy to talk with and in the pages you are about to turn, hell help you realize that talking with God is easy too. Accessible. Practical. Biblical. This is a must-read!
J ON W EECE , author of Me Too
We cannot thrive without the depth and intimacy of prayer that Adam describes in a beautifully simplistic way. Talking with God is both refreshing and insightful. This is a book we all need to read.
J ARRID W ILSON , pastor and author of Love Is Oxygen
Its been said that prayer is to the soul what breathing is to the body. If thats true, most of us are spiritually asthmatic. In this delightful book, Adam Weber offers a bit of spiritual respiratory therapy. Talking with God is disarming, helpful, and inspiring. It will leave you wanting to pursue a deeper and more regular prayer life.
A DAM H AMILTON , pastor and author of Creed
Prayer has always been a place of connection for me but also a place of some confusion, if Im honest. Adam does an incredible job of walking us through what it means to have a conversation with God, to talk and to listen, and to embrace the mystery that comes with it.
A NNIE F . D OWNS , author of Lets All Be Brave
Talking with God is a book on prayer for prodigals and the imperfect. Adam speaks on prayer not as someone who has it all figured out but rather as someone whos on the journey. He reminds us that regardless of who we are or where weve been, we can talk with God.
M IKE F OSTER , author of People of the Second Chance
This book on prayer will be an answer to prayer for many. Adam is a guy who loves people and loves helping them navigate difficulties and messes of life to connect to what really matters. Weve overcomplicated communicating with the God who made us and loves us. This book is a gust of encouragement that will reconnect you to what really matters in this life. Its been a gift to me, and I hope this book finds its way into the hands of anyone else looking for a true lift.

Ive known Adam for years. He understands that in order to truly make a difference in this life, he, along with you and I need to be in constant conversation with Jesus, the One who is able to change everything. This is a book on prayer for those who intend to change the world but are aware they cant do it on their own.
B RAD L OMENICK , author of H3 Leadership and The Catalyst Leader
Adam is a dear friend. We often make prayer too complicated. The emphasis on honesty and brevity is great. Every follower of Jesus should read this book!
R OGER F REDRIKSON , pastor and author of Learning to Dance
If youve ever struggled with prayer and wondered what to say, Adam Weber provides an easy-to-read, accessible guide. He takes you by the hand and leads you to the Father with gentleness and encouragement every step of the way.
M ARGARET F EINBERG , author of Fight Back with Joy
I laughed. I cried. I read it out loud to my wife. In Talking with God Adam Weber does the seemingly impossible: he makes the topic of prayer fun, approachable, and imaginative! Talking with God will not just encourage your prayer life, it will kindle the fires of intimacy with God.
D R. T IMOTHY D . W ILLARD , author of Veneer and Home Behind the Sun
Adam is currently the pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the country, yet he is quick to share that he is a work in progress. His success as a spiritual leader is due to his humility and authenticity born of his own prayer life. What a joy to know that at any point and time we can talk with God!
B ISHOP B RUCE R . O UGH , The United Methodist Church
I promise, if you read this book and put the words into practice, your life will change, your work will change, your conversations will change.
J EFF S HINABARGER , founder of Plywood People and author of More or Less
Talking with God is not only a phenomenal book, its an important book. In a world that is making a lot of noise, Talking with God presents an encouraging, challenging guide to turning that volume down and conversing with our Creator. I dont know where Id be without Adam Weber, but I know Id be further from Jesus. This is a MUST read.
L UKE L EZON from @HoodJesusYo
This is a book on prayer for the person who has heard it all or possibly nothing at all and simply wants their prayer life to grow.
L ISA W HITTLE , author of I Want Godand{w}hole
Adam delivers to us a practical guide to conversations with God. And when I say practical, I mean that I have NEVER felt like Ive had a handle on a consistent prayer life. Through this book Adam has helped me take a major step toward just that. Consistency in prayer.
