I felt this book was just what I needed to help grow and encourage my prayer life. The author has done a great job, making the different prayers easy to understand by telling us her life experiences. I am looking forward to sharing this book with family and friends.

This prayer book is powerful. Using it, I learned to pray God's Holy Word back to Him. I have purchased several of these books for those under the attack of the enemy. Prayer changes things! I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to become a prayer warrior!

I highly recommend this book to those who want to expand their prayer life.  This book really encouraged me and helped me to see how weak my prayer life really was!  But at the same time, gave me a great vision for what my prayer life could be and IS BECOMING, thanks to this little book!

I was not sure what this would be about, but it is a great book outlining prayer, what it is, how to do it, who God is that hears you and answers. I have not finished it yet, but I'm so glad I ordered this. It has already helped my prayer life.

I bought this book around 2004.  I was stumped on how to pray effectively.  This prayer book really blessed me.  I like that there are scriptures in the prayers.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this book and two bible studies from the author, Priscilla Shirer. I like the perspective of looking at how the enemy attacks those key areas of our lives especially the chapter on families. I have utilized the prayer pattern and the focus of my prayers is now being strategic, fervent and integrating God's words. Thanks for helping me grow in this area

I have a very difficult time trying to articulate the words when praying.  While I grew up in a Catholic family, I never really learned how to pray - at my church, it seemed like everything was ritual and I just went through the movements.  After going to a Christian church for several years, it was then I learned that I needed a relationship with Jesus and started learning how to communicate with him.  Not knowing where to begin, I received this from one of the ladies in my MC.  This book has made it so much easier for me to get a starting point at how to pray, and even provides verses which I can go to work in conjunction with the prayer.  The only thing I would change in this book would be to have an index in the back so that I can "quick find" the issues at hand (such as stress...prayers and verses are peppered throughout the book, but you have to find them all yourself).  As it stands, everything is broken down into multiple categories such as My Bible, My Salvation, My Emotions, My Marriage, My Kids, and so forth.  Subcategories exist under these categories, and through there you'll be able to find appropriate verses and prayers.

Overall, this is a great book to buy for yourself, or for a friend.  It's encouraging food for the soul, and was what I needed to help get me through the day.

With full disclosure I will say have not read every prayer in this morning and evening prayer book since I am not reading it like a regular book. I have enjoyed the morning and evening prayers although I will admit that I read both the morning and evening prayer for the day at the same time. I am using the book daily as the it is intended and have been for several months.

This is a great collection of prayers. I don't believe in rote prayer but I do believe that prayers lifted by others continue to be a fragrance before the throne of God. No prayer goes unanswered. The prayers that Jeanie and David Gushee have collected are important prayers expressed from ages past to ages recent. Often they comfort me and are jumping off places for my own prayers. What a privilege to be able to speak from the heart to Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, to have taken on the privilege as one saved by the gospel of Christ to be one of the priests in the great Kingdom of God.

An aside: this is a light-weight book for it's size (almost 400 pages). I think it would be a good gift for the elderly who might be unable to hold a heavy book. And although the print is not large, it is a quite nice size font for easy reading in even dim light.

I received this book from Booksneeze bloggers program by Thomas Nelson Publishers. The positive review is my own and I was not compensated for it.

Our daughter received this book from her Godfather on her Baptism. As her spirituality has blossomed since turning two, this is a great book for not only teaching the "Our Father," but also some of the meaning behind the prayer. While I appreciate some of the criticisms, this is ultimately a book for toddlers and a great way to introduce a meaningful devotional.

Sometimes I have a hard time finding the words to ask God for what I need in the moment. This book is brilliant, the prayers are simple and sweet. There are prayers for protection to prayers for unwavering faith, prayers for love and forgiveness and prayers for grace. Maybe its not even something you realized you should pray for until you saw it in the book, and its like a weights been lifted. Sometimes its nice to have the words written out before you when you cant find the words to express yourself. I recommend this book even if its simply a reminder to talk to Hod as if hes a friend and no subject is taboo with Him.

I love this book!  I can't wait to start utilizing what it says in the book.  I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels bored when they pray because it feels like it's almost the same prayer over and over. He's got a very simple plan to read the bible and use what you read to pray in your own life.
