Who is Jennifer Kennedy Dean?

Jennifer Kennedy Dean is a significant voice in the current dialogue on spirituality and prayer. As the author of numerous books on prayer and a popular speaker and conference leader, Dean's message addresses the real questions about prayer, framing answers that are both intellectually and spiritually satisfying.

Dean's discourse on prayer demonstrates an energetic mind-imaginative, fearlessly curious, practical. Her fresh and original illustrations, her skilled use of the language, her engaging and warm personality combine to create an atmosphere conducive to open and uninhibited exploration of prayer and the spiritual realm.

Her ability to present spiritual truth so that it is clear and understandable makes her an effective communicator to all audiences. She challenges believers to leave behind stale, ineffective, limiting beliefs about prayer and to embrace the vitalizing truths laid out in God's Word.

Our Mission

The mission of The Praying Life Foundation is to resource churches, ministries and individuals who are seeking to grow deeper in prayer. By providing books and other printed resources, as well as leading seminars and retreats, The Praying Life Foundation offers biblically-based, sound teaching to lead God's people into the deep truths about prayer laid out in His Word.

We believe that God has called author and speaker, Jennifer Kennedy Dean, to play a unique role in motivating and teaching His people to pray. Jennifer's message revolves around our firm belief that Christians need not settle for "having a prayer life," but instead can learn to "live a praying life." When Christians learn that prayer is not an activity, but a life, then the power promised in Scripture will become real in their experience.

What We Believe

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling a Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto a resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of the believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
