When we get to heaven, we will finally understand how our smallest and most feeble prayers advanced Christ’s kingdom in ways we never dreamed. At that point, I don’t want to whine, ‘Bother! Why didn’t I pray bigger?’ This book is your best guide to offering up larger-than-life prayers through which God delights to work!
William Taylor (Rector
This wonderful book will help us to refocus our prayers to pray as God tells us he wants us to pray in the Bible. I found it both liberating and enabling. I am motivated to pray more, and to pray for the right things.
John MacArthur (pastor and teacher
For most of us, the discipline of prayer is the hardest one to master. That means we need more motivation and more instruction to strengthen our resolve. I am thankful that Alistair provides both for us in Pray Big. Here is a book that can reignite your heart in prayer.
Thomas Creedy
I would recommend it to all Christians who are thinking about their prayer life – whether you are just starting out, or have been at it for years.
Gary Millar (Principal
This is a delightfully warm-hearted, crystal-clear encouragement to bask in the gospel, and to pray in a way which fits with who we are in Christ. This book made me want to "pray big"—which is exactly the point!
Jonny Ivey
If I waited for my emotions to love God before praying, I’d hardly ever pray. No – I have to talk to myself. I have to pray my emotions and let them be shaped by what I know to be true...
David Kim (Concertmaster
One of the most influential and engaging authors of our time has done it again with Pray Big. Pastor Alistair Begg speaks from his heart, guiding us into a much more knowledgeable, meaningful, and powerful prayer life. This book is a must-read for all of us.
Alistair Chalmers (Assistant Pastor of Bruntsfield Evangelical Church
This books will change the way you pray, not because Alistair Begg wrote it, but because he takes you to Scripture.
Christopher Ash (Writer in Residence
I love this book. It comes from the heart of a seasoned pastor to the hearts of men and women who desperately need help in our prayers. I was challenged and convicted, and yet also moved to devotion to God and to a fresh conviction of the wonder of the gospel of the Lord Jesus. There is a rich combination of scriptural clarity and pastoral warmth. And I love the way the book is laced with hymns, songs and poems, too!
Here is a nourishing book where each short chapter will stir your heart to pray bigger prayers. If you are feeling that your prayer times are stale and discouraging, this biblical and experiential book will reform and refresh. (Senior Pastor at Charlotte Chapel
Wayne Grudem (Research Professor of Bible and Theology
On the morning after I began reading this book, I found that my own personal prayer life had been enriched and deepened by Alistair’s challenge that we "pray big" by imitating the apostle Paul’s God-exalting, God-trusting, God-glorifying pattern of prayer for the Ephesian churches. This is a wise, practical, biblically-faithful book. It will deepen your prayer life.
Janet Parshall (Host and Executive Producer
Using his renowned teaching skills, Alistair uses this book not only to instruct us how to pray but to show how our prayers reveal what we believe about God. Read this to learn who you are speaking to and what you need to say to him. Get ready to have your prayer life radically changed.
Keith and Kristyn Getty (Hymnwriters; Authors
We will be forever grateful to Alistair for how he helped us understand and apply Christian basics to every facet of life and worship, and there is nothing more basic and transformational than prayer. There is no greater challenge for the Western church than to be a praying people; so we are thrilled and grateful for this vital book.

‘Pray Big’ will expand your understanding of prayer and perhaps show you something new that you could try. I recommend this to Christians who are looking to pray bold and big prayers and believe that He listens and responds in ways that we cannot even begin to imagine. It will bring you closer in your walk and I encourage you to take your time in prayer.

To write a book called Pray Big takes courage. To do it honestly takes humility. To do it well takes biblical wisdom. But to do it encouragingly—well that takes somebody like Alistair Begg. And thankfully he has written it! No matter at what stage you might be in your Christian life, this is just the book you need. So, sit down with Alistair for an hour or two, and listen to him. You’ll not regret it!
