Too Busy Not to Pray

Author

Bill Hybels

Description

For the past twenty years Too Busy Not to Pray has stood as a classic on prayer, helping Christians all over the world slow down to draw near to God.

During those years, the world certainly hasn't slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased. Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families, and natural disasters touching us daily. The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray. Two truths haven't changed in twenty years: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he's always been, and true prayer--prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God's work in the world can't happen on the fly. So Bill Hybels once again offers us his practical, time-tested ideas on slowing down to pray. Revised throughout and including a new introduction and new chapter on prayer and compassion for the world, this twentieth-anniversary edition of Too Busy Not to Pray calls both young and old to make prayer a priority, and broadens our vision for what our eternal, powerful God does when his people slow down to pray.

Review

Too Busy Not to Pray is an important read for all Christians. Personally I admire Bill Hybels for his intelligent and down-to-earth style.  The book is practical and delivers sound insight and biblical principle.

I've been so guilty of one sided communication with God that this book was a very sobering experience and I am thankful for the correction.  Even for old pros I suggest spending the time to freshen up the "how tos" and reevaluate the "whys" of prayer.  It has truly blessed my life.


My first time through the book I progressed through the fundamentals and thought I picked up a thing or two, my second time through the book I prayerfully reflected upon my “reasons” for a limited prayer life and committed before God to listen to Him more. Again this has blessed my life tremendously.
