Book Review: Radical Prayer by Manny Mill

From the Back Cover:

When you pray “Hallowed be thy name,” big things happen.
Many of us pray with little heart, little faith, and little expectation. This is not how we were taught to pray.
In Radical Prayer, Manny Mill describes the power that filled his life and ministry when he started praying boldly and persistently for God to be glorified in all things, and he teaches us to do the same.
When we pray this way, heaven crashes into earth. We see greater obedience, more love, and powerful salvation. Radical Prayer invites us to see what can happen when we pray as we ought.
Today's troubled times require replacing religious and comfortable Christianity with a faith narrative infused by a prayer life that connects heaven to earth. Such a prayer life will ignite a radical faith.—Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference

My Review:

Radical Prayer by Manny Mill is an easy to read book full of wisdom from testimonies and scripture. Manny Mill exhorts his readers to learn what radical prayer life is like when you pray "Hallowed be thy name..." Manny Mill does a great job of pulling the reader into the pages of his book and leaving them encouraged to walk in biblical prayer with proper understanding and acknowledgement of who God is and who we are. Quotes that stood out to me are "A posture of surrender encourages true worship" and "There are no appointments to be made. We have an immediate audience at any time." I recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper relationship with God through worship and prayer.
