Overview

When you pray, you engage in the most remarkable act a human can perform and in so doing, unleash God’s sustaining power. But prayer is an art requiring constant cultivation, says Dick Eastman. In No Easy Road he offers challenge, guidance, and encouragement to help you on the sometimes difficult, though always rewarding, journey of prayer. This best-selling classic tracks a Pilgrim’s Progress-like journey down the road of prayer. Using stories and examples from biblical times and today, you will walk through: the Peak of Unbelief, the Avalanche of Excuses, the Plateau of Intercession, the Mountain of Self-Will, the Cove of Holiness, and more. No Easy Road also includes an appendix entitled “Practical Praying” that provides valuable hints on how and where to pray.

Top Highlights

“The only place to learn prayer, is in prayer, bent and broken on our knees. Prayer is a skill developed through experience. Learning to pray is like learning a trade. We are apprentices and must serve time at it. Consistent care, thought, practice, and time are needed to become a skillful pray-er.” (Page 23)

“We believe in prayer. Then why don’t we pray? The real reason is, we have nothing to pray for. We have everything we want without praying. The supreme tragedy of most people is that they want so little and they are satisfied with almost nothing.’” (Page 32)

“How can anyone believe in the all-surpassing value of your Gospel if you do not practice it, if you do not spread it, if you sacrifice neither your time nor your money for that purpose?” (Page 22)

“‘I’m calling you to Myself. All that you are experiencing is so I might teach you to seek Me. I’m calling you to be a man of prayer.’” (Pages 14–15)

“If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day” (Page 24)
