Does your prayer life…uh…suck?

===

Award-winning author Aaron Ryan brings you "God Is Not Santa": a beautiful portrait of God's love for us as contrasted to that of, hmm, another certain gift giver.

Too often we can get all caught up in our Wish Lists and our wants and needs, deeply desiring the gifts more than The Giver, who gave us the greatest gift of all: His Son Jesus Christ. Part straightforward and part satirical, but never preachy, Ryan dives deep into what it takes to approach God with no conditions and no demands! After all, God is not Santa Claus!

===

Develop a better prayer life, a stronger prayer life, and one you can enjoy. Among the Christian books on prayer life available today, this one is a standout to draw you closer to God and help you appreciate both what God is, and what He is not. Enjoy your prayer life with this amazing and insightful book on approaching God properly.

Award-winning and bestselling author, speaker, panelist, workshop presenter and voice actor Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and the finches Burger, Nugget and Fry.

He is the prolific author of the bestselling "Dissonance" 6-book alien invasion saga, the Christian dystopian fiction trilogy "The End," the "Talisman" trilogy, the sci-fi thrillers "Forecast", "The Slide," and "The Phoenix Experiment", the nonfiction book "God Is Not Santa," the children's picture books "The Ring of Truth," "The Sword of Joy" and "The Book of Power," the business reference books "How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book" and "The Superhero Anomaly", 6 business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room."

When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, "The Electric Boy" was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron's desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.

He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.

Aaron's favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L'Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Tim Lebbon, Christopher Golden, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry.

Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great personal introduction to a deeper study of prayer.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a great short book about Aaron Ryan’s life and experiences which result in him being grateful to God leading him to the essentials of gratefulness and grateful prayer, supported by scriptural references such as Philippians 4:4-8. The experiences are genuine and the principles are solid. The book, based on the author’s many life experiences and his sound understanding of scripture, is also indirectly a repudiation of the “more, more” prosperity “name it and claim it” cult which is dominant in business and Hollywood and overweighted in politics.

    This book has caused me to think about and prioritize prayer from a perspective of gratitude.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2025

    I found this book to be fairly life-changing. It's SO hard to go into my prayer time without a list!!!!! So that I know what I should be focusing on, etc. and I get distracted. I LOVED this! Lotsa life lessons in here from the author, whose other books I've read (highly recommend his Christian dystopian one, "The End" BTW) and this was a great read just as those were. Aaron Ryan continues to impress and lead!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really a great book on learning and listening without requesting anything
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Funny, insightful, and to the point. Ryan shares deeply personal examples and episodes from his own life that have driven him to prayer in remarkably candid ways, illustrating that prayer isn't to some almighty Piggy Bank. Prayer should be intimate and celebrated as special without being demanding. Great book. LOVED the chapter on Asher's Way especially. We can learn a lot from children.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winning Book For Aaron Ryan
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    This is the first non-fiction book of Aaron Ryan I have read (huge fan of his THE END series) so I was not sure what to expect, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I am not always a huge fan of self-help books or better you life and wisdom type books, but G-d is Not Santa is extremly relevent in today's world, especially at Christmas.
    This book talks about how we can over induldge in our wishlists and forget the importance of giving, how we should recieve gifts, and how knowing the person you are giving to helps you to understand what they really want and make more meaningful gifts.
    This short novel is filled with quotes from people like Pope John Paul and relates how stories like the Giving Tree can teach us things. Its a short book worth reading, and a great reminder of how we should think and act at the holidays.

    4.0 out of 5 stars God is not Santa! True
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    Very interesting book. Who am I to ask God for anything like he is Santa Claus. He isn't and this author truly knew it. Adding Bible verses and statistics with a little family thrown in provided a very entertaining way of comparing the two. Would I encourage others to read this book? Oh yes. In a heartbeat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars GOD IS NOT SANTA: Doing Away With The Lists
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    Honorable mentions needed; the author stated, "he would never use AI for writing." Kudos for giving reverence to the Creator for humanity, and for creating him as a multi-talented individual. (No worries, he was extremely humble.) The book itself was humorous and insightful. Also, impactful for those needing help in targeted areas.
    God will not be mocked! People may attempt to treat Him like Santa, but that is short-lived, because he isn’t moved. God sees a need as a need, a want as a want, and will give in His time, not in a bombardment of mediocre prayers. God knows what’s best, and that may be something completely different than the prayer request.
    However, with spiritual growth, you’ll see that “Now godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1Timothy 6:6) This truth helps to transition from being a receiver of gifts to being a giver. Spiritual maturity will bring peace to your life. The best gift ever given was free. Santa missed that delivery. Overall, it was a good read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Approach God with gratitude, not seeking gifts.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    A great reminder that God already knows what we want and need. He will provide, so no need to bring a “wish list” to him as we pray. What God would prefer is our gratitude, time, and presence. He desires our fellowship, not obligation. We need to spend time growing closer to him, not just asking for things or praying to check it off a to do list. He wants us to be thankful for what we do have.
