(Colorado Springs, CO)—NavPress, the publishing arm of the U.S. Navigators, announces that A Praying Life (© 2009) by Paul Miller was selected as one of the top ten books of 2009 by Christianity Today’s LeadershipJournal.net.

According to LeadershipJournal.net, the two things in short supply for nearly every church leader are time and money. That is why Leadership Journal created the Golden Canon, the ten books of 2009 most valuable for church leaders. The winners were selected by a diverse group of more than one hundred pastors and leaders, including LeadershipJournal.net’s contributing editors, who selected the best books in two categories: The Leader's Outer Life and The Leader's Inner Life.

In A Praying Life, author Paul Miller shares his insights and conclusions about how to connect the broken pieces of life and allow prayer—even poorly delivered—to fill the gaps with meaning and substance. Miller writes to the heart of the matter: “Prayerlessness is rooted in a core unbelief that can shape our lives, even as Christians. Because of prayerlessness, our lives are often marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy.” A Praying Life is for everyone who is tired of struggling with prayer.

Since its founding in 1975, NavPress has become known as a trusted ministry leader in discipleship and leadership development. The Navigators, headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is an interdenominational, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people navigate spiritually, to know Christ and to make Him known as they look to Him and His Word to chart their lives.
