Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer

Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools invites readers to rediscover prayer as a living relationship with God rather than a religious performance. Tyler Staton combines biblical teaching, personal stories, and historic Christian practices to address doubt, disappointment, distraction, silence, confession, persistence, and unanswered prayer.

The book makes room for both confidence and mystery, showing how prayer can include honest lament, attentive listening, bold requests, and patient trust. Its practical approach helps readers move beyond vague intentions and establish a prayer life that remains connected to ordinary work, relationships, suffering, and hope.
