Bob, who served in pastoral ministry for 14 years, gauges the success of a conference not by comments such as, “That was great!” but by declarations like, “I can actually do this now!” Bob is co-presenter, along with Paul Miller, on seeJesus’ Launch Into Prayer Cards course. Anyone who has worked, worshipped, or even been in the same room with Bob for long knows that his one-of-a-kind laugh is nearly 100% contagious.

About A Praying Life

Through our seminars, prayer card course, and other resources, we help you practice becoming child-like, patterning our prayers after Jesus’ own teaching and prayers.

“This is as fine a book on prayer that you will ever read, but it is so much more. It is the story of our struggle to actually live like we believe that our Heavenly father really does love us. If we did, nothing could keep us from being committed to the day by day hard work of prayer. Paul exegetes our struggle in a way that is convicting, insight giving and encouraging. This is a book on prayer that actually makes you want to pray!”
— Paul David Tripp, president, Paul Tripp Ministries; author of Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, Age of Opportunity
“The A Praying Life Seminar is the most practical training in prayer possible, yet it is rooted in biblical theology. I highly recommend it.”
Rev. Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York, NY
"The Launch Into Prayer Cards video course is one of the best tools God has given me this year! I play the segments over and over and will continue to do so every year going forward. I even love playing them for the men I meet with. There is nothing like sitting in on two prayer veterans showing me their prayer cards and hearing their stories and tips."
—Tim (Timo) Strawbridge, Director of Spiritual Life, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Lakeland, Florida
