Christianbook.com"Wherever one plunges into these eleven biblically landscaped pathways to prayer, the soul is set aloft and ablaze with the word Blaise Pascal sewed into his coat after his prayer encounter with God and wore until the day he died: FIRE."
—Leonard Sweet
"Matt Woodley's Folly of Prayer puts language, meaning and practical helps around vital modes of prayer. The truest folly would be to ignore this biblical guidance in those murky, shifting waters of the soul's authentic connection with God!"
—Mindy Caliguire, president, Soul Care
Matt Woodley handles his subject matter with real grace, which allows the final product to transcend a simple how-to guide into profound reflections about both the presence and absence of our Maker: when we sense Him, and when He seems an infinite distance away. Honestly, I can say I've not read a better book on prayer written in this century. Woodley has a knack for conveying weighty ideas without condescending to his audience. Enlightening, relatable, and full of rich theology, The Folly of Prayer comes highly recommended.
—John Wofford, The Christian Manifesto (thechristianmanifesto.wordpress.com), July 3, 2009
Presents eye-opening, soul-enriching opportunities for spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with God through prayer flowing out of of everyday life. Woodley's transparent, conversational tone makes this an easy, enjoyable read for the time-challenged.
—Elisa Martinez, Youth Worker Journal, January/February 2010
This book has the potential to reviatlize a believer's prayer life.
