Author: Paul E. Miller
|
Many Christians struggle with the daily discipline of prayer, and there are several reasons as to why. Some believe that God doesn't hear, and some believe that God doesn't care. Some believe that God is not present at all in their lives. Other Christians know they need to pray but don't have the discipline; some don't want to "bother" God with their problems; and others are just too discouraged by thoughts of unanswered prayers in the past. These issues are investigated and discussed throughout the book. Readers will learn that being dependent upon God and asking Him to act are actions that please Him. We serve a God who delights to be depended upon. |
Paul Miller serves as the Executive Director of seeJesus which he founded in 1999. The organization is operational in over 30 countries and his resources have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
His father, Dr. Jack Miller, taught at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. After graduating from college, Paul began teaching at inner-city Christian schools in the city and did so for 10 years.
After receiving his M.Div. he began seeJesus and has been developing interactive Bible studies and conducting seminars. He has written a few books, including Love Walked Among Us, A Loving Life, and this book, A Praying Life.
