Praise for What If Jesus Was Serious . . . About Prayer?

"First, Skye Jethani has an epic name. Second, he is brilliant, witty, and deeply biblical. Third, get this book. It will transform your prayer life."
—DERWIN L. GRAY
Lead Pastor, Transformation Church
Author of God, Do You Hear Me: Discovering the Prayer God Always Answers

"What If Jesus Was Serious . . . about Prayer? is creative and convicting, with memorable images rather than formulas or rules. This is a valuable resource that will influence your theology of prayer as well as your practice of it."
—KAITLYN SCHIESS
Author of The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor

"Skye Jethani provides a life-giving reminder that prayer is not reserved for the polished, tidy, and presentable moments of life, but rather, God yearns to be in constant communion with us in our messy, ordinary, everyday lives."
—GARY HAUGEN
Founder and CEO of International Justice Mission

"I've read dozens of books on prayer, but Skye Jethani's is now one of my favorites. This practical book left me motivated to pray more and equipped to develop a praying life that can change me, the people closest to me, and even our world."

"The great gift of Skye is to cut through the muddle of confused thinking around the subject of prayer and focus on the profoundly simple instruction Jesus offers. He combines deep theology with practical and accessible illustrations that are incredibly helpful in getting to the heart of what Jesus taught and modeled. Skye's book will be of great help to those who've always found prayer confusing or boring."
—MIKE ERRE
Pastor, author, and host of the VOX Podcast

"Popular forms of Christianity are obsessed with teaching us how to live for God, but they rarely equip us to live with Him. And the key to a radically transformed life with God? Prayer. Skye Jethani is back with an eminently accessible, highly useful guide to the kind of Christ-centered life so many young Christians are thirsty for. Highly recommended!"
—PHIL VISCHER
Creator of VeggieTales and cohost of The Holy Post podcast

"Skye has done it again. In his winsome blend of engaging stories, perceptive insights, creative sketches, and much-needed challenges, he offers new ways to engage with an ancient—and still incredibly significant—practice and posture of prayer. Jesus certainly was serious about prayer—and Skye communicates that truth in a seriously engaging way."

"Could there be a more important question than, How do we pray? Of course not. Sadly, when most people hear the word "prayer," they only think of asking God for things (one type of prayer). Skye Jethani, in his characteristic flare many of us have come to love, opens up a wider, deeper, more ancient vision of prayer—as the pathway to union with God. I can think of no better book to get you started on your journey."
—JOHN MARK COMER
Pastor of Bridgetown Church
Author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

"Skye Jethani has a refreshingly distinct angle of vision about Jesus and the world. Like the first book in the What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this second one reflects Jethani's careful reading of Scripture, and his commitment to help the reader hear and respond. This is just the kind of provocation and encouragement that should come from taking Jesus—and what He taught and embodied—seriously. Watch out or this will change your life!"
