From the Inside Flap:
Hi Everybody!
Last year I embarked on an adventure – a year of living prayerfully. I had no idea what a crazy year it would be. I hadn’t planned to walk across a bed of hot coals. I didn’t in my wildest dreams think I’d get to have lunch at the Pope’s house.
I told people I wanted to spice up my prayer life, but this year wasn’t about stuffing cilantro in a burrito- it was about learning how to cook. I felt a deep need for power in prayer as I tried to advocate for victims of human trafficking.
Centuries ago, people went on long spiritual journeys called pilgrimages. These trips helped people to refocus on things above. Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost that practice. I wanted to rediscover it. This book is a record of my modern-day prayer pilgrimage, written for all those who can’t take a year off to traipse around the globe.
I wrote this for you.

While filming a documentary about sex trafficking, Jared and Michelle Brock felt a deep need for prayer in their personal lives. In an effort to learn more about prayer, the couple traveled the globe, exploring the great Judeo-Christian prayer traditions: in mountains and monasteries, in Christian communities and cathedrals, standing up and lying down, every hour and around the clock.
A Year of Living Prayerfully is a fascinating, humorous, globe-trotting exploration of prayer that will help you grow your own prayer life. Jared’s witty reflections on his fast-paced journey will both entertain and inspire you to think about your own prayer journey.
Join Jared on a rollicking modern-day prayer pilgrimage… you’ll never pray the same again.
