Publisher's Description
WARNING: If readers accept the author's challenge, they will pray more deeply, effectively, and regularly than they ever have before. Through powerful daily "dares" or challenges, Ron Kincaid, pastor of Sunset Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon, guides readers not just to think or talk or read about prayer . . . but to actually pray. Individuals and small groups will gain confidence in their prayer lives, strengthen their understanding of prayer's purpose, and learn how to apply key scriptural principles of prayer to their everyday lives. The Prayer Dare is a practical, no-nonsense handbook that demonstrates concepts with relatable illustrations and then invites readers to engage in simple exercises to make the "dare" a personal reality. Journaling space is also provided to record practice and progress. Dares include "Don't Be Afraid to Ask," "Pray Like You Mean It," "Take God Seriously," and "Be Transparent." Each dare builds on the last, and as readers take the challenges one-by-one, they will begin to do something incredible: pray.

“PRAISE FOR the prayer dare Prayer means having a living conversation with the God of the universe, who in Christ calls us “friend.” This places prayer at the core of our adventure of listening to and following Jesus Christ. The Prayer Dare is Ron Kincaid's encouragement to take the risk of stepping into that adventure with confident and humble hope and faith. Lloyd John Ogilvie Associate Professor of Preaching Fuller Seminary School of Theology Our family has known Ron Kincaid for many years. On many occasions during committee meetings and other encounters in responsible situations, Ron has led in prayer. You can instantly tell that he lives it not as a theory but as an experience. He lives in the presence of God and ministers the Word of God with authority because of it. Look at the title of this book and you will recognize that he deeply knows what it is to walk with God in prayer. It will also excite you to pick up whatever chapter suits your situation at the moment. You will be blessed! LUIS PALAU”
“If you'd like to commit to this on your own, by all means, do so. If you feel led to enter into this with a spouse, a friend, your family, your small group at church or perhaps a whole congregation, accept my challenge that way. Once committed, grab your calendar and choose a length of time that you believe you can stick with. (I suggest at least 40 days, though you could certainly extend this to two months or a year.) However you choose to try it, keep in mind that this adventure is not designed for dabbling. Those who stop partway through will miss out on the greatest benefits. But if you stick with it to the end, it will change your life. What are you waiting for? Go ahead. I dare you.”
