Pete Greig, author of How to PrayWhether your prayer life is vibrant or ho-hum, 7 Ways to Pray will draw you deeper into the conversation with God youve always longed for. Here youll find a path forward to the adventure that prayer is meant to be! Elisa Morgan, speaker, author, cohost of Discover the WordWhat a beautiful, powerful, and personal journey into Gods sustaining presence with the loving and sure-handed guide Amy Boucher Pye.

Sheridan Voysey, author of The Making of Us, Resurrection Year, and Reflect with SheridanAmy writes with honesty and wisdom from profound experience and learning.
