Discover the particular way God designed you to connect with prayer
You should pray in the morning. You should write out your prayers. You should make prayer lists and pray through them every day. You should pray with others or out loud. We’ve all heard the “you shoulds” of prayer from pulpits, presenters, and well-meaning friends. But when none of these ways to pray feel natural, what’s next?

Janet Holm McHenry has studied prayer extensively, and the one thing she knows for sure is that there’s no one-size-fits-all way to pray. Instead, there are different styles of prayer–and by discovering the style most instinctive to each individual personality, staying in touch with God throughout the day becomes simple and all the more joyful.

In this book, the author helps readers determine their particular praying personality by examining the praying styles of biblical people, spiritual gifts, and various ideas about personality, including the classic temperaments, the Enneagram, and more. McHenry includes scores of bulleted suggestions for developing a praying lifestyle that works for individuals. She has also created a Praying Personality Quiz for readers (available in the book and online) to help narrow down the style that will most naturally fit into how they process a prayer life.

Whether a longtime Christian who has tried various prayer strategies but can’t keep up or a new believer looking to learn about this spiritual discipline, every reader who dives into this book will come away with a renewed prayer life and a greater understanding of who God created them to be.


If you’ve ever struggled to succeed in your prayer life, this is a fascinating book that could help you figure out why. McHenry pulls together Scripture, psychology, and experience to examine why different people can pray for hours on their knees while others writer every prayer in a journal.

McHenry looks at the different types of pray-ers in the Bible before diving into a study of personality types (based on several different personality type tests) and even generational differences. Not only will it help you understand why different prayer style do or don’t work for a person, it also includes a pray-er quiz to help readers better understand their natural attraction to different prayer types.

A fascinating read.
