SynopsisWe all pray. . . some. But wouldn't we like to pray better? Stronger? With more fire, faith and fervency? We aren't the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested. In Before Amen , New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado helps readers discover the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for doubters and confidence for both prayer beginners and experts. In this book, Max will help you: Distill prayers in the Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer. Remember that the Good Shepherd has authority over your life. Learn that prayer is simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child. Don't be bogged down by crafting elegant words or apologizing for incoherent sentences. Climb into God's lap and tell him everything on your heart. Today is the day to let the conversation begin., We all pray . . . some. We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray. But wouldn't we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests. We aren't the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested. And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn't we use the same? In Before Amen best-selling author Max Lucado joins readers on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for doubts and confidence even for prayer wimps. Distilling prayers in the Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer, Max reminds readers that prayer is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few.

  • 'Before Amen' simply explains methods for prayer...what one says/ asks before saying 'amen'.

    Max Lucado sites real life examples and back up solutions with scripture and how one can depend on God and have a better relationship with Jesus.

  • Used as church 4 week sermon series and small group

    Lucado is excellent again. But this is not a deep book on prayer. It is a very easy read and very honest book. Thanks Max.
