Synopsis

We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so religious. We assume that only the very spiritual hear from Him directly. But author Sheila Walsh says "Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer." Get Off Your Knees and Pray is a real woman’s guide to real prayer—from understanding the biblical basis for prayer to cultivating a vital personal relationship with God. It is the perfect blend of practical advice, personal stories, and biblical truth to encourage and help you achieve greater intimacy with God through prayer. Prayer is not just a few sentences we say to God while on our knees. It is living out our ongoing, every-moment commitment to God. “Sheila steers us away from prayer as formula (say the right things the right way and God responds) and toward prayer as picture—a picture of God’s desired relationship.  Talking.  Listening.  Trusting.  Living.  This volume, warm and witty like its author deserves a spot on every reading calendar.”—Max Lucado, best-selling author and minister “No matter what kind of difficulty you have about prayer, this book will
help. Sheila has experienced all of them, and she will take you through them
to where God has taken her: straight into His very real and accepting
Presence.”  —Dr. Henry Cloud, speaker and coauthor of Boundaries

Goodreads review by Vivien

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved it so much I am going to read it again after going through some other books. It has been an awesome journey with this book as I rediscovered what prayer actually is, and my biggest takeaway is demonstrated in the title! Get off your knees & Pray. God looks way past our lofty......more

Goodreads review by Yvonne

I enjoyed the book very much. She lived through a lot and has a lot of wisdom about prayer in general. She is saying that there is no right or wrong way to pray. You do not have to kneel and do some kind of devout right prayer. Pray like a child, holding nothing back. God will hear it and who cares......more

Goodreads review by Joni

Sheila Walsh is a gifted communicator. She used many illustrations from her life to show how God wants us to pray, why He seems to not answer our prayers at times, how to know when you hear Him speak, and the reasons it is so important to pray. Sheila is engaging, easy to read and relate to. She is......more

Goodreads review by Joy

I thought I knew the name of the author from 700 Club, but she did not emphasize that time. Good. The book was mainly about her life -- marriage in late 30s, baby at 40. She was pleasant but uninspiring, with few memorable lines. "He wants to be our first response." "We were never meant to be alone.......more
