How to pray confidently and expectantly to the God who always hears--and always answers

They were just ordinary people--a loyal servant, a woman who desperately wanted a child, an old man who still had hope, a young teenager who couldn't quite believe God's great love, and others--ordinary people who prayed extraordinary prayers to an extraordinary God. They weren't always eloquent. They weren't always the type of person you might think God would listen to. But they trusted God and his plans for their lives, and that made all the difference.

Life-Changing Prayers tells their stories and shares their desperate, hopeful, and gratitude-filled prayers, inspiring and emboldening us to ask God for the desires of our own hearts.


"Life-Changing Prayers will make you rethink how and why you pray and bring you closer to God in the process."--Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker; lead pastor, National Community Church

"Dr. Youssef's latest book is a most practical and encouraging book on prayer. I kept thinking of William Cowper's words as I read it: 'Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.' This book will become a classic."--Dr. R. T. Kendall, minister, Westminster Chapel (1977-2002)

"There's probably no more important topic for the day we live in than why and how God answers prayer. Michael Youssef's Life-Changing Prayers will create both inspiration and faith to find out for yourself just how great our God is!"--Jim Cymbala
