Description

God wants to do more in our lives than we can possibly imagine. So why do we settle for less? Many times, it's because we are afraid to ask. Whether we feel selfish or silly doing so, or we want to let God off the hook in case He doesn't answer, we rarely pray for our deepest desires--not realizing that our desires are often dreams conceived by God that He wants to fulfill. It's time to discover the exciting adventure you were created to live! In Pray Big Things, Julia Jeffress Sadler dares you to start praying big. Sharing her own story of God's life-changing answers to bold prayers--a miraculous journey through infertility, miscarriages, and giving birth to triplets--Julia challenges you to take God at His Word and see Him move like never before. Humorous, practical, and filled with biblical insights, this book will give you the courage to pray big things and watch expectantly for God's even bigger answers.… (more)

triplets, we learn how she and her husband decided that they would not just pray---they would pray BIG! Sadler uses God' s Word to encourage us to pray and along with this abundant use of scripture, she also leaves 'nuggets of inspiration' that are worthy of posting to our bathroom mirrors or our refrigerator doors.

Everything that is allowed into our lives has the purpose of making us more like Christ.
When we want what He wants for ourselves and the world, then God honors our desires.
God will give you everything you want when everything you want is Him.

Pray Big Things offers hope, faith, and inspiration and I recommend it to all who want to deepen their relationship with God.
