A Woman's Guide to Life-Changing Prayer

Powerful and personal, Get Off Your Knees and Pray shows women that they have a lifeline straight to the heart of God. I've always shied away from this topic as I really stink at prayer, says Sheila. And she isn't alone. We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so religious. Only the very spiritual hear from Him directly. Only those who live as missionaries or in a monastery can really pray and move mountains. Right? Wrong. Sheila has come a long way since the days when she shied away from prayer. In fact, today she says, Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer. Her life message has always been You are loved by God just as you are. If we are loved as we are, we can talk to God as we are.

Having trouble talking to God?  You're not alone.

We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so religious. We assume that only the very spiritual talk to him or hear from him directly. But author Sheila Walsh says, "Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer."

Get Off Your Knees and Pray is a real woman's guide to real prayer'from understanding the biblical basis for prayer to cultivating a vital personal relationship with God. It is the perfect blend of practical advice, personal stories, and biblical truth to encourage and help you achieve greater intimacy with God through prayer. Prayer is not just a few sentences we say while on our knees. It is living out our ongoing, every-moment commitment to God.

"Sheila steers us away from prayer as formula (say the right things the right way and God responds) and toward prayer as picture'a picture of God's desired relationship. Talking. Listening. Trusting. Living. This volume, warm and witty like its author, deserves a spot on every reading calendar." ?Max Lucado, best-selling author and minister

"No matter what kind of difficulty you have about prayer, this book will help. Sheila has experienced all of them, and she will take you through them to where God has taken her: straight into His very real and accepting Presence." ?Dr. Henry Cloud, speaker and coauthor of Boundaries
