The Secret to Prayer: 31 Days to a More Intimate Relationship with God

“I want to pray, but I don’t know how or what to say.” I’ve both said and heard this said about prayer countless times throughout the years. In The Secret to Prayer, Kyle DiRoberts addresses the qualms, hesitations, and misunderstandings Christians have regarding prayer with biblical truth. Through witty and concise writing, Kyle makes the theology of prayer accessible to everyday life while stirring a deep desire in the reader to pray with humility. I cannot recommend this book enough!

“Most of us struggle with prayer. I struggle with prayer. What’s the secret to overcoming our struggles and learning to love prayer? In The Secret to Prayer, Kyle DiRoberts reminds us that it’s simpler than we think. This practical, biblical, joyfully written book is a wonderful resource for anyone who struggles to pray. Read it over the course of a month. Read it with friends. Read it, and relax. Prayer shouldn’t be a burden, but a blessing. This book will show you that.”

In The Secret to Prayer, Kyle DiRoberts offers keen insights into developing and truly enjoying prayer as a way of life. His reflections on God and our relationship to Him reveal prayer for what it is—a wonderful responsibility befitting a life changed by His grace. But make no mistake, this is not a detached academic manual about prayer but rather an invitation to chase after a life of prayer. With wit and relevance, DiRoberts helps us see anew how effective and essential this identity-shaping practice is at cultivating deeper fellowship with and affection for our triune God. Thankfully, some secrets are not meant to be kept.
