Named after his successful hit song, GRAMMY nominee Matthew West has penned an exploration of the power and meaning of prayer in our lives.

Sharing personal insights from West's own faith journey and a Bible-based exploration of the power and meaning of prayer, Don't Stop Praying points readers to rediscovering the thriving, intimate, and bold prayer life that Jesus desires for us.

As Christians, we don't embrace the central truth of our faith that prayer actually changes the world – our conversations with God have an impact on eternity. Author and Grammy nominated songwriter, Matthew West, invites his readers to join him in an exploration of prayer sparked by the personal realization that over the course of his lifetime he has "become really good at talking about Jesus instead of talking to Him."

With Biblical examples that teach us how to pray, when to pray, and what to pray for, Don't Stop Praying includes prayer challenges and probing questions for prayer groups and prayer partner.  The book lists different types of prayers  and models of prayers to give readers a vocabulary of conversation with God - all with Matthew's trademark humor and storytelling.

The book will be available February 23, 2026.

Matthew West has built his career as a revered storyteller. The five-time GRAMMY nominee, dubbed by Billboard as "one of Christian music’s most prolific singer-songwriters," has been awarded multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, notched 30 number one songs combined as an artist and songwriter, and has more than 250 songwriting credits to his name.

Matthew is passionate about providing hope and healing through the power of prayer and story. My Story Your Glory marks his seventh book following: Give This Christmas Away, The Story Of Your Life, Forgiveness, Today Is Day One, Hello, My Name Is and The God Who Stays. The new 30-day devotional was inspired by his 22-track album of the same title which was released in 2023.
