Overview

Prayerlessness is not always obvious. It does not only appear where prayer has vanished altogether. It may also appear where prayer survives in fragments, where words are spoken without true nearness to God, where prayer is delayed until the needed hour has passed, where a once-living prayer life has been neglected, or where prayer remains active in form while wrong at the root. In The Faces of Prayerlessness, these hidden forms are brought into the searching light of Scripture. With pastoral seriousness and spiritual urgency, this book exposes six expressions of a disease the Church often carries without fully recognizing: the prayerlessness of no prayer, the prayerlessness of little prayer, the prayerlessness of distracted prayer, the prayerlessness of delayed prayer, the prayerlessness of discontinued prayer, and the prayerlessness of wrong prayer. This book is a call to recover prayer as central, holy, God-centered, Scripture-governed, and joined to a life of repentance and dependence. It is written for believers, leaders, churches, and households willing to be searched honestly before God and summoned back to true prayer. These pages aim to uncover false peace, expose what has been lost, and call the people of God to return. For when prayer is missing, the Church is often poorer than she knows. And when prayer is restored, the house of God begins again to bear the name Christ gave it: a house of prayer.
