Matthew West releases new book

Matthew West is inviting readers to deepen their connection with God through his latest book, Don’t Stop Praying: The God Who Hears You Is Just a Breath Away. What began as a nationwide grassroots movement – sparked by the two-week No. 1 song “Don’t Stop Praying,” as well as an album and tour of the same name – has now grown into a grace-infused guide that encourages prayer as a first instinct rather than a last resort. “I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of prayer in my life and I’m constantly amazed by the truth that we can go to God with anything and know that He listens, He heals, He strengthens and He guides,” shared West. The book is available now.

But He keeps showing me that grace isn’t a reward or something I have to earn, it’s a gift freely given. That powerful truth did more than inspire this song; it has changed my life.” The song is available on streaming everywhere now, and a lyric video is available on West’s YouTube channel.
