Pray Big

Kevin DeYoung

Prayer is so important, and so difficult, that we always need more good books on prayer. Alistair writes with a biblical simplicity and pastoral sincerity that will help you not just feel like you should pray, but feel that you can.

When we get to heaven, we will finally understand how our smallest and most feeble prayers advanced Christ’s kingdom in ways we never dreamed. At that point, I don’t want to whine, ‘Bother! Why didn’t I pray bigger?’ This book is your best guide to offering up larger-than-life prayers through which God delights to work!

A convicting, wonderful read that has brought me closer to God through prayer.

‘Pray Big’ will expand your understanding of prayer and perhaps show you something new that you could try. I recommend this to Christians who are looking to pray bold and big prayers and believe that He listens and responds in ways that we cannot even begin to imagine. It will bring you closer in your walk and I encourage you to take your time in prayer.... continue reading

“Highly recommended”

Would highly recommend this and all other books written by Alistair Begg. Clear, biblical and like his sermons, makes you want to read the Bible!

“Helpful Book”

Very helpful book on prayer. Easy to get into!

“Educational and Inspirational”

I have always struggled with prayer regarding how often should I pray, what should I pray for and when I should pray? I am often amazed at how some people can pray aloud and make it seem so easy. This book has certainly helped me with regard to what I pray about and who I should remember to pray for. Alistair Begg has written this book in a way that is both easy to understand and read, in fact, it is one of the few books that I have read in my life from cover to cover in an afternoon. I spent most of the remainder of the day reflecting on my approach to prayer and how I need to make changes regarding what and who I pray for. The book is well laid out in chapters addressing the important aspects of prayer and is based on Paul's prayers for the early Christian Church in Ephesus and how these can be used to model the way people can pray today. Alistair also offers some examples of prayer in each section, some sections contain extracts from poems and hymns. I will read this book again because I enjoyed it so much, finding it both educational and inspirational.

“Excellent fuel to pray bigger”

We are called to pray about everything and in every situation and yet how quickly our prayers dry up! This short book provides a remedy to shallow and small praying. It is heart warming and prayer fuelling. It is more than an exposition of Apostolic praying; it's a toolkit for praying like an apostle. It reveals the nature of prayer and provides depth of content for our prayers: Focus, Hope, Riches, Power and Love. I wholeheartedly commend you read and reread this book slowly and often.

“A must read”

Since purchasing this with a gift token and reading through, I have bought three more copies for friends. I am meeting with two of these friends weekly to talk and pray through the Pray Big a chapter at a time.
Pray everyday that the Lord will open your eyes more and more to all that belongs to you if you belong to Jesus Christ and see how He changes your heats desires and your prayers. Thank you Lord

“Excellent”

Small compact easy to read yet powerful

“Pithy and encouraging”

I am half way through this book, having taken the author's suggestion to read and ponder a chapter a week.

Alistair Begg is not trying to write a definitive book on prayer - but rather he is helping us to see particular barriers and shortcomings we might not have noticed, but that by identifying and working through we can enrich our individual and corporate prayer lives.

Whilst the scope is big (like the title!) each chapter gives one practical area for the reader to consider and apply. This book could be read quickly, but, as a grateful reader, I feel the benefit of digesting it slowly!
