Abiding in Amen
Prayer in a Secular Age
Book •
Wes Ellis's 'Abiding in Amen: Prayer in a Secular Age' reorients common assumptions about prayer by diagnosing how modern achievement culture and secularization have turned prayer into a performance.
Drawing on theologians and social critics, Ellis argues that prayer is primarily God's movement toward humans and that Christians are called to receive and abide rather than master outcomes.
The book blends pastoral experience with theological reflection to offer practical ways to reclaim prayer as a space of trust and waiting.
It addresses how digital distraction and evaluative culture make interiority and 'wasted space' scarce, and proposes habits of consent and receptivity.
Written concisely, the book aims to reduce guilt around prayer and invite readers into a contemplative posture of letting things be.
