Summary

Hope in a discouraging world: It's hard to come by. But bestselling author Paul Miller knows one habit –prayer—can catapult life beyond imagination. Don't settle for a powerless faith. Find out how to pray big.

It's one thing to learn to be dependent individually, but when you begin to learn to pray together and think of the family; when a family can begin to pray together, or the parts of the family—when I can close a conversation off with one of my kids, “Hey, can we just pray together about this?” Or where you'd turn conversations into short prayer times, where prayer begins to seep into all the structures and the fabric of how you do life as a family together, that's when the Spirit begins to work in amazing ways. -- Paul Miller
