Anchored in Christ

Thanks again to all of you who have helped launch my book! I promise I’ll talk about other things eventually. :-). But until that day, a few more When Prayer Is a Struggle announcements and resources. Please share!

• The audiobook is now available on Amazon and ChristianAudio! I’m hoping to run an audiobook giveaway soon, so follow me on social media to find out how to win.
• Check out this review excerpt of my book by Tim Challies: “A very relevant and very applicable guide to prayer… we would at times all benefit from this book… I believe that through this book, God will… help you fight through your struggles and learn to enjoy prayer as one of his most precious gifts.”
• I’ve ran a number of pieces to help promote the book. Here is a rundown: One Simple Method for Praying the Bible (GospelRelevance), How the Lord’s Prayer Can Help You Overcome Your Prayer Struggles (TGC), Three Questions for Discerning Our Motives in Prayer (GCD), Six Reasons God May Not Listen to Our Prayers (Unlocking the Bible). Also check out this livestream concert from The Psalms Project and see the shoutout Shane gives the book in the first few minutes!
• Here are some radio/podcast interviews to listen to: Interview on Dawn and Steve in the Mornings (Moody Radio – Nashville), Servants of Grace, Reasonable Theology, The Bible GPS Podcast Interview. Also check out few short clips on my YouTube channel.
• Also, if you read the book and have a short testimony for how the Lord has blessed you through it, I’d love to hear it!
• Last thing: if you read the book, please leave a short review on Amazon—it really helps!
