Book review: Too Busy Not to Pray
Posted by tom | Jul 14, 2005Book review of Bill Hybel's Too Busy Not to Pray contributed by Susan Norman
Excerpt:
Too Busy Not to Pray is for people like me: I love God and deeply desire to serve him. I believe in the power and importance of prayer, but I do not always pray with discipline and faith. This book is also for people who feel far from God, whose spiritual lives ard dry and barren, who have given up because prayer just does not seem to work. It is not primarily for scholars or theologians, although they, too, may well need to be hear its message. The anecdotal style and straight-from-the-hip prose are for people who want to know quickly and simply why and how to pray.
Melissa McIntyre used to laugh at me about this book - I picked it up in college at one point, but "didn't have time" to read it for probably six months or so.
I did find it helpful, though I agree with the statement about "not being for scholars", as it is pretty light, but worth the read. (and I still have it if someone wants to borrow it)
