If you want to strengthen your daily prayer life, grab this book!"--Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church and author of Divine Direction "Adam is a friend and a great leader who loves Jesus. I mean loves Jesus with everything in him. Seeing Adam's faith and relationship with Jesus expressed in a book on simple prayer, has me all in! I'll be giving a copy to everyone on my team at Catalyst because I think it's that important to read!"--Tyler Reagin, executive director of CATALYST"I love this book because I love the author!

Talking with God is both refreshing and insightful. This is a book we all need to read."--Jarrid Wilson, pastor and author of Love Is Oxygen"It's been said that 'prayer is to the soul what breathing is to the body.' If that's true, most of us are spiritually asthmatic. In this delightful book, Adam Weber offers a bit of spiritual 'respiratory therapy.' Talking with God is disarming, helpful, and inspiring. It will leave you wanting to pursue a deeper and more regular prayer life."--Adam Hamilton, pastor and author of Creed"Prayer has always been a place of connection for me but also a place of some confusion, if I'm honest. Adam does an incredible job of walking us through what it means to have a conversation with God, to talk and to listen, and to embrace the mystery that comes with it."--Annie F. Downs, author of Let's All Be Brave"Talking with God is a book on prayer for prodigals and the imperfect.

He reminds us that regardless of who we are or where we've been, we can talk with God.--Mike Foster, author of People of the Second Chance"This book on prayer will be an answer to prayer for many. Adam is a guy who loves people and loves helping them navigate difficulties and messes of life to connect to what really matters. We've overcomplicated communicating with the God who made us and loves us. This book is a gust of encouragement that will reconnect you to what really matters in this life. It's been a gift to me, and I hope this book finds its way into the hands of anyone else looking for a true lift."--Brad Montague, creator of Kid President"I've known Adam for years. He understands that in order to truly make a difference in this life, he, along with you and I need to be in constant conversation with Jesus, the One who is able to change everything. This is a book on prayer for those who intend to change the world but are aware they can't do it on their own."--Brad Lomenick, author of H3 Leadership and The Catalyst Leader"Adam is a dear friend. We often make prayer too complicated. The emphasis on honesty and brevity is great. Every follower of Jesus should read this book!"--Roger Fredrikson, pastor and author of Learning to Dance"If you've ever struggled with prayer and wondered what to say, Adam Weber provides an easy-to-read, accessible guide. He takes you by the hand and leads you to the Father with gentleness and encouragement every step of the way."--Margaret Feinberg, author of Fight Back with Joy"I laughed. I cried. I read it out loud to my wife. In Talking with God Adam Weber does the seemingly impossible: he makes the topic of prayer fun, approachable, and imaginative! Talking with God will not just encourage your prayer life, it will kindle the fires of intimacy with God."--Dr. Timothy D. Willard, author of Veneer and Home Behind the Sun"Adam is currently the pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the country, yet he is quick to share that he is a work in progress. His success as a spiritual leader is due to his humility and authenticity born of his own prayer life. What a joy to know that at any point and time we can talk with God!"--Bishop Bruce R. Ough, The United Methodist Church"I promise, if you read this book and put the words into practice, your life will change, your work will change, your conversations will change."--Jeff Shinabarger, founder of Plywood People and author of More or Less"Talking with God is not only a phenomenal book, it's an important book. In a world that is making a lot of noise, Talking with God presents an encouraging, challenging guide to turning that volume down and conversing with our Creator. I don't know where I'd be without Adam Weber, but I know I'd be further from Jesus. This is a MUST read."--Luke Lezon from @HoodJesusYo"This is a book on prayer for the person who has heard it all or possibly nothing at all and simply wants their prayer life to grow."--Lisa Whittle, author of I Want God and hole"Adam delivers to us a practical guide to conversations with God. And when I say practical, I mean that I have NEVER felt like I've had a handle on a consistent prayer life. Through this book Adam has helped me take a major step toward just that. Consistency in prayer."--Carlos Whittaker, author of Moment Maker

Excerpt from Book

Me: How would you best describe prayer? Roger Fredrikson: Talking with God. Everyone else. A few weeks back, I received an e-mailfrom a friend asking if we could get together. I could tell by his words that there was something specific he wanted to talk about. We checked our schedules and through nothing short of a miracle, we both somehow found forty-fiveminutes to connect over coffee the next day. We made plans to meet up at one of my favorite coffee shops in downtown Sioux Falls.1 I arrived a few minutes early, ordered the usual--dark coffee with one Splenda--and found a table near the front that was perfect for people- watching. Twenty minutes later, my friend arrived. He apologized for not being on time. His life is busy as he tries to be seventeen different places at once. He''s getting his career off the ground. He''s a dad to two young kids. And then there''s his marriage. "I never thought it would all be so much work," he shared with me. He wore a smile, but you could tell his life was crazy. He was overwhelmed. Now as a pastor, I''ve heard it all. Nothing really surprises me anymore. As he updated me on the status of his life, I wondered if he was struggling with something more. Had he made a mistake? Was he having an affair? I wasn''t sure where our conversation was going or what he wanted to say or ask. We small-talked for ten minutes or so, and then he finally said it: "Well, I''ll just get to why I wanted to get together. I feel foolish for asking this, since I''m a grown adult. I grew up going to church, and this is some- thing everyone else probably knows but me. It just looks so easy for others. But I just want to ask: How do you pray?" He paused, took a breath, then quickly continued: "I should probably know this, right? But I don''t. I feel stupid, and I wasn''t sure who to ask. And again, this probably comes easy for everyone else. But again, how do you pray? Like, what do you say? Do you start with, ''Hey, God, it''s me''? Is there a right or wrong way to pray? Can I screw this up?" As my friend talked a million miles an hour, I was hoping he''d take another breath so he wouldn''t pass out. I could tell he was embarrassed and felt foolish, yet he was curious and wanted to know how to pray. I was grateful my friend was so candid and real, and honored that he trusted me enough to ask his question. But, honestly, this wasn''t the first time I''ve been asked this question. Far from it. - "Everyone else" . . . they probably have prayer figured out. At least the faith- ful churchgoer does. And if no one else, the pastor does, right? I can''t speak for others, but I know I don''t. And I''m paid to know this kind of thing. When you open the Bible, it''s clear that Jesus'' followers didn''t know how to pray either. In one of his first sermons, Jesus talks about and tries to explain prayer.2 "When you pray," Jesus said, "don''t do it to be seen. Don''t do it to impress others, like hypocrites often do. They might sound impressive, but they actually have it all wrong. Yup, they''ve missed the boat. Prayers do not need to be long, and there''s no need to use big words. God isn''t impressed with how we pray or the things we say. In fact, he already knows what we need, even before we start." "Instead, when you pray, just pray like this: ''Our Father . . . ''" Again, even followers of Jesus --the people who hung out with Jesus himself--didn''t have prayer figured out. Jesus wouldn''t have talked about it with them if they had. I''ll go out on a limb and say that the majority of "everyone else" doesn''t have prayer figured out either. They have questions. They feel unqualified or in- adequate. They avoid prayer altogether. After all, how do you talk with the Creator of the entire universe without feeling a little intimidated? And so, I offer this book to you. It''s a book on prayer for everyone else. It''s for the church outsider. The recognized sinner. The baptized and confirmed Christian. The faithful churchgoer. The follower of Jesus who feels like she falls short and the Pharisee Christian who thinks he doesn''t. This book is for those who, just like my friend, have a crazy life. It''s for those who have a bunch of questions and very few answers when it comes to prayer. It''s for everyone who isn''t looking for a textbook explanation, a theological discussion, or even a definition of prayer. But instead is looking for a conversation about prayer they can understand and relate with. A conversation that meets them right where they are, not where they feel like they should be. This book is for everyone else who is curious about prayer. This book is for everyone else who wants to talk with God. This book is for me. This book is for you. THE GOD WE TALK WITH 1 Found a friend. Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one''s heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. -- Fran
