Abiding in Amen

<p>In a world obsessed with efficiency and results where even spiritual practices are often treated as skills to be mastered Wesley Ellis invites readers into a transformative reimagining of prayer. <i>Abiding in Amen</i><i> </i>challenges the prevailing assumption that prayer is something to be achieved offering instead a vision of prayer as a gift to be received.</p><p>With his characteristic warmth and pastoral insight Ellis explores the ways in which modern society has conditioned people to seek control--even in their relationship with God. Prayer rather than being a tool for self-improvement or a task on a spiritual checklist is a space of divine grace and resonance where people are invited to relinquish control. He calls for a paradigm shift: from striving to abiding from anxiety to trust from results to relationship.</p><p>Ellis reminds readers that prayer does not begin with human effort but with God's action. Through engaging storytelling theological depth and a sense of humor he encourages readers to release the pressure of performance and enter into a more liberated authentic communion with God.</p><p></p>
