Author
Dumbfounded Praying is a book of no-limits uninhibited praying-dumfounded praying. It is a confessing book an idea book a wrestling and praise-filled book and like the Psalms intensely personal but certainly not private. These prayers are for everybody who is thirsty and hungry who doubts who might be unsure of the value of prayer; they are for anybody who wants to question confess praise lament imagine and speculate. This book is open to all who love the richness of speech with God and want his everlasting richness to flood their minds hearts and circumstances in return. Prayer is more than a narrow tidied list of proper things to talk to God about. Nothing is off-limits with God for he intimately knows what fills our minds stirs in our hearts and frames our circumstances. God invites us to talk everything over with him honestly fearlessly even imaginatively. Out of sheer love God has eternally befriended himself to us and asks us into his confidence and in turn invites us to confide freely in him. God wants us to know that while we would rather talk than listen he always listens before he talks and when he does it is always with his Word strongly yet sweetly offered to us by his Spirit and made eternally sure by his Son. This Word is inevitably filled with mercy love grace forgiveness correction and unblemished wisdom. Everyone will wrestle with these prayers--even as we rejoice in them--for they tug out truths about ourselves that we dont want to face. However God will use these pieces powerfully in our lives to mature us as saints and meanwhile will reveal to us illimitably sweet Truths about the Triunes healing Love redeeming forgiveness and mysteriously multiplying Grace. You need this book--as do we all! --Marva Dawn author of Being Well When Were Ill and Keeping the Sabbath Wholly It is rare to find someone so dexterous in the art of music and at the same time so eloquent subtle and poignant with words. With their searing honesty and biblical depth these prayers take us--with all our foibles and faithlessness--deep into the heart of our triune God whose love provokes embraces and transforms every prayer we utter. --Jeremy Begbie Thomas A. Langford Research Professor of Theology Duke University As they plead and praise prod and provoke Harold Bests prayers come to God in a spirit of broken-hearted gratitude. Their concerns run the gamut from the fresh revelatory language of children to the incomprehensible vastness of the universe. With profound insight into the depths of the human heart and with a keen ear for the language of the scriptures Harold Best talks with the triune God about his deepest fears his strongest hopes and his greatest longings. We his readers are privileged to hear such rich conversation. --Roger Lundin Blanchard Professor of English Wheaton College Harold M.
