Description: What is prayer? How does it work? Does it even help? Where do we start and where will it lead?
Johannes Hartl has spent his life exploring these questions. And he's found their answers through personal meetings, experience, and often travel--a journey of discovery that has taken Hartl into the very heart of prayer. Weaving together stories of individuals, movements, and moments he has encountered across the world, Hartl invites us to join him on an incredible adventure. Exploring different approaches to prayer--such as contemplative, intercessory, creative, and revelatory--Hartl encourages us to rediscover the true central focus of prayer: a God who hears us and wants to speak to us. For those who want to participate in the power of prayer or who are struggling to pray, Hartl's thoughtful insights and wisdom, combined with reflective applications, will inspire and challenge us to catch the fire for our own life of prayer.Brief description: Johannes Hartl is a passionate storyteller who loves to communicate the heart of God.

Review Quotes: "An exhilarating and poetic immersion into the eternal call of God to the heart of every person. Intimacy with God is where we truly discover who we are and from which all fruitfulness comes. Johannes Hartl knows who he is and I have witnessed, first hand, the fruit that has flowed from his and his community's answer to the call of prayer."--Father J.
