Faith without obedience is dead. Prayer without action is wasted.

What would your life look like if you stopped praying about God's will and just did it instead? How would your church look if it spent as much time serving as it spent praying about serving?

The truth is, sometimes when you think you're praying, you're really just procrastinating. And when you think you're asking that God's will be done, you're really telling him no. In times that call for action, prayer can be disobedience in disguise. Wasted Prayer uncovers the ways we use prayer to dodge responsibility for the work God has assigned us.

Complete with punch-in-the-gut biblical exposition that will help get you off your knees-and out of your chair-Wasted Prayer will provide you with the jolt you need to start living like a Christian, instead of just praying like one.

It's time to stop praying and start doing.
