Most of us have trouble finding time to pray. There's church and school and neighborhood and job and friends and everything else we want to do! Time for prayer seems impossible to find. As a pastor, Bill Hybels knows hundreds of people with schedules like this. Yet in his own life, he has made the hard discovery that prayer doesn't happen on the run. He decided that he was too busy not to pray. The ideas in this practical book can help us to learn to slow down to be with God as well.

We are all at our best when it counts. But what are we like when no one's looking? That's where character comes in - being consistent even when it doesn't seem to matter. Courage. Discipline. Vision. Endurance. Love. These character qualities are quickly becoming endangered. All too often we hear of marriages falling apart, governments lying, businesses cheating and scandals rocking the church. But with God's guidance and strength, we can maintain character that lasts.

Now, in this revised and expanded 10th anniversary edition, he includes new insights from his years of ministry and his own spiritual journey.
