Book Description from Goodreads 

Do you ever wonder, "Why doesn't God answer my prayers?" Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Are you tired of playing it safe with your faith? In Dangerous Prayers, New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel helps you unlock your greatest potential and tackle your greatest fears by praying stronger, more passionate prayers that lead you into a deeper faith.

Prayer moves the heart of God--but some prayers move Him more than others. He wants more for us than a tepid faith and half-hearted routines at the dinner table. He's called you to a life of courage, not comfort.

This book will show you how to pray the prayers that search your soul, break your habits, and send you to pursue the calling God has for you. But be warned: if you're fine with settling for what's easy, or you're OK with staying on the sidelines, this book isn't for you. You'll be challenged. You'll be tested. You'll be moved to take a long, hard look at your heart.

But you'll be inspired, too.

You'll be inspired to pray boldly. To pray powerfully. To pray with fire. You'll see how you can trade ineffective prayers and lukewarm faith for raw, daring prayers that will push you to new levels of passion and fulfillment. You'll discover the secret to overcome fears of loss, rejection, failure, and the unknown and welcome the blessings God has for you on the other side.

You'll gain the courage it takes to pray dangerous prayers.

In this book, Pastor Craig, challenges us to boldly pray this three dangerous prayers: Search Me, Break Me and Send Me respectively. 

Search Me prayer focuses on you asking God to reveal your thoughts, your heart and your ways 

Break Me prayers allows God to break you, in that breaking you receive unshakable faith and genuine intimacy with God. "We don’t realize what blessings might be on the other side of God’s breaking." - Craig Groeschel 

Send Me prayer means you allow God to use you as His vessel, to do things that pleases Him and surrendering to His will. 

We loved how Pastor Craig was genuine and raw about his experiences (his fears, worries, insecurities, life as a pastor), the book was easy to read and he was relatable to our experiences and lives. 

But be forewarned these are dangerous prayers 

This book is for anyone who is looking to improve your prayer life, anyone who is tired of lukewarm Christianity, anyone who struggles to pray consistently and effectively, anyone who feels that their prayers are inevitable, and are repetitive. This book is for anyone who is weary of comfortable, safe and predictable life but want to live dangerously for God.
