LONGWOOD, FL-When someone asks you whether your prayer life is flourishing and fruitful, can you honestly answer yes? For Chris Craig, author of Becoming a Person of Prayer (paperback, 978-1-60266-160-8), prayer was something he found in short supply in today's world. With so many voices offer confusing messages and empty promises, Christians need the clear biblical guidance his book offers to show them how to find God, connect with Him, and participate with Him through prayer to change their lives and their world.
Craig has observed over several decades of pastoral experience how God chooses to work through prayer. He has ministered to people in life and death situations and experienced with them firsthand the wonderful, life-changing results yielded by prayer. He has also found it to be true in his own life that a disciplined prayer life is key to ordering the rest of his life. When he prays well, God blesses him with His presence, peace, and power.
"My hope for those who read this book is that they will capture enough of the sense of joy and privilege that living in a relationship with Jesus gives that they will commit themselves to setting aside time daily to be alone with Him in prayer," says Craig. "If they do this, they will see God work powerfully through their prayers."
Chris Craig is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Ruston, Louisiana. He is married to Cindy, and they have three children: Jason, Julie, and Alicia. Chris and Cindy are also the proud parents of Crunch, a Boxer, and Pebbles, a Rottweiler.
