What to expect

God doesn’t demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says top-selling author D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. By following Paul’s example, we can do the same. This book calls believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by embracing a God-guided approach to prayer.

Previously published as A Call to Spiritual Reformation, this book has now been updated to connect more effectively with contemporary listeners. A study guide, DVD, and leader’s kit for the book are available through Lifeway and The Gospel Coalition.

Critics Review

  • “Carson shows how the apostle Paul kept eternal values at the center of prayer…[This book] is a manifesto for profound, other-centered, God-guided praying. Such prayer is not caught up in the tyranny of the urgent but the urgency of the eternal.”

    Christianity Today
  • “The greatest need for churches today is not education, evangelism, or programs but a deeper knowledge of God. [This] book contributes to filling that need by assisting those who read it to a fuller life of prayer.”
