Synopsis:

Can we engage in prayer that is more effective, less harmful, and doesn't make God look bad?

Is petitionary prayer an archaic and superstitious practice better left for old-time religious folk? Is there a more effective method of praying that doesn't put all the responsibility on God? Theologian, therapist, and ordained pastor Mark Karris offers a first-of-a-kind book that explores petitionary prayer alongside theodicy, social justice, and personal moral responsibility.

Rich with theological wisdom and enormously practical, Divine Echoes reveals a revolutionary model of petitionary prayer that Karris refers to as "conspiring prayer." Filled with real-life examples and case studies, this book will inform and equip both individuals and churches to pray transformative and subversive prayers that will increase God's shalom in the world.
