Pray Hard: Talk to God With Total Confidence (Early Teen Discipleship) by Kevin Johnson

Prayer isn't hopping up on Santa's lap. Or crawling on your belly to God's throne. It's having a conversation with the One who knows you best and loves you most. So what makes it so tough?

All God really wants is to talk with you. But what do you say to an all-powerful God you can't see?

Consider this your own personal manual on prayer-a guide to help you know not only how to pray, but why you'd want to.

In this book, you'll piece together the puzzle of prayer through twenty-five hands-on studies.

With each one, you'll check out a choice "Bible Chunk" and scribble your thoughts on questions like...

HOW DO I KNOW GOD IS LISTENING?

DOES GOD ACTUALLY WANT TO GIVE ME GOOD GIFTS?

AM I REALLY SUPPOSED TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE?

HOW DO I CLING TIGHT TO GOD WHEN LIFE GETS SHAKY?

So dig in and get ready to do some talking-to God, that is.
