Great book, chapters mislabeled though
Chapters are off by one
Tyler’s sharing is personal but grounded in scripture. It was helpful for me as I am on a journey of relearning prayer as a part of my spiritual life and journey with Jesus.

Fantastic content
The pros:
The content is practical, meaningful, and inspiring. I felt myself longing for a revitalized prayer life. I listened to the audiobook, then immediately ordered a print copy so I can read over it more carefully, make notes, etc. I haven’t read a book like this in a long, long time. Absolutely recommend.
The cons:
When I listened to this, I wasn't familiar with Tyler's speaking voice -- since then, I've listened to him a lot on the Bridgetown podcast and he sounds like a trusted old friend. :) That said, if you're used to professional audiobook narrators you might find this a challenging listen due to a lot of vocal fry. However, the content is superb, so stick with it!

Convicting
Sound, solid teaching & instruction with examples that are honest & raw. I appreciated Staton's calm writing & reading style that felt like the Spirit was flowing throughout (although I did speed it up as it was a tad too drawn in places). Even though prayer is not at all new to me, I am looking forward to adding the suggested disciplines into my regular practice. It would have been helpful if a PDF copy came with the purchase for further gleaning!

Praying like monks, living like fools.
Be brutally honest with God. Amen. Be brutally honest with myself and acknowledge that I'm what's wrong with the world. Amen. The name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth means His authority, His status as the Son of our Abba Father God. Prioritize presence. Amen. Remember who God is, and remember who all of us are. Amen. This is a wonderfully performed book. The story is even a bit of a tear jerker. Tim, I'd recognise your voice anywhere. Thank you Mr. Staton for writing this. It's awesome. You're awesome.
