Prayer can feel mysterious, perfunctory and out of our control, intensifying our sense of longing in moments of unanswered cries. The Folly of Prayer invites an unadorned, jargon-free approach to encounter the untamable God.

By stripping away religious-speak, it distills prayer to its essence: wholehearted engagement with divine presence—even in seasons of apparent absence.

Prayer as Encounter

  • Desperation
  • Invocation
  • Mystery and astonishment
  • Groaning and absence

Drawing on personal stories, biblical passages and historical examples, this guide illuminates how authentic prayer fuels compassion, awakens empathy for the suffering and inspires meaningful service in the world.
