    About this audiobook

    Be inspired to pray boldly, pray powerfully, pray with passion, and trade ineffective prayers and lukewarm faith for raw, daring prayers that will transform your daily life.

    Do you ever wonder if God answers your prayers? Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Do you long for more than playing it safe in your faith? Join New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel as he helps you discover the power of authentically communicating with God, breaking out of the restrictive spiritual safety bubble, and expanding your ideas about what's possible with God.

    The Bible tells us that prayer has the power to move God's heart, but some prayers move him more than others. He wants more for us than a tepid faith and half-hearted routines at the dinner table. God called you to a life of courage, not comfort.

    In Dangerous Prayers, Groeschel will show you how to pray the prayers that search your soul, break your habits, and send you out to pursue the calling God has for you. But be warned: If you're fine with settling for what's easy, or if you're okay with staying on the sidelines, this book isn't for you. You'll be challenged. You'll be tested. You'll be moved to take a long, hard look at your heart. But you'll be inspired, too.

    Dangerous Prayers will give you the encouragement and tools you need to:

    • Transform the patterns around your daily prayer life
    • Truly embrace and believe in the power of intentional prayer
    • Start to pray daring, faith-filled, God-honoring, life-changing, world-transforming prayers

    You'll discover the secret to overcoming fears of loss, rejection, failure, and the unknown, and you'll welcome the blessings God has for you on the other side. But best of all, you'll gain the courage it takes to pray dangerous prayers.

    A prayer guide and discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

      This was one of the best audiobooks I have EVER listened to!!! I have learned and even grew so much spiritually in the past 2 days because everything that was said has challenged me and my prayer life to pray more deeper, bolder, stronger, and dangerous prayers!!!!

      It’s a very genuine book. The writer’s imperfections and experiences are what makes this book very authentic! My spiritual life needed a kick but what I ended up receiving was a perspective shift that I am ready to apply to my life.
    • 5/5
      Extremely powerful, scary yet amazing, packed with truth! Makes you rethink your priorities, playing-it-safe type of living and wondering what’s on the other side of a comfortable prayer life. One does not leave the same after reading this book!
    • 5/5
      3rd time going through this audio book. Pastor Craig is phenomenal. He has quite a way to communicate timeless truths. He conveys bible truths in such a unique fashion. I have read/listened to all his books. I never get tired of his writing. Also, i do believe he is very transparent. To most of us in ministry his transparency is relatable.

      God bless the Groeschell family ??

    • 5/5
      This book has make me think, reflect and pray differently. It is not a audiobook to just skip it. It is a text to sit with the Bible, with a journal and meditate in your life. God us always listening. The question is : are we ready to pray differently?
    • 5/5
      Definitely his best work. Even more so than Winning the war in Your Mind. I highly recommend this book. Game changer.
    • 5/5
      Life changing!! Thank you for this incredible book. I think this Covid pandemic really brought a lot of Christians to a place of either strong conviction about a walk with God or caused many to backslide. This book, for me , was so timely because it led me to a deep introspection and a Holy dissatisfaction with comfortable Christianity where it’s all about me and my family and no more. I’m infused with a new drive and passion for God and people. I’m not afraid of the discomfort that the will of God might come with because I know the comforter will be with me.

      With love from South Africa ??
