A gift for anyone in trouble

This is a book that covers our most difficult times and walks us through the struggle of finding the right words to use when our mind feels drained of all ability to comunicate with our Christ. Althought we know He is there all the time, there are times we need to be reminded of the right way to pray. Just reading the words brings us back to the reality that there is a silver lining behind the darkest clouds. I have given this book to a friend whose daughter was anorexic and it is traveling the circuit of her friends parents. I will keep several on hand for just that purpose!

This Book is Fabulous

I love this book. It is so inspirational and easy to read without getting lost in the "holiness" of it all. A lot of times I am turned off by religion because most of the time it just doesn't deal with the practicality of everyday living. If you are looking for a nice approach to religion this book is for you as well as for newly married couples, teenagers, singles, and anyone who might be in need of inspiration and hope.

Beautiful, Solid, Sensible Prayers for Life's Stresses

Prayer books that are in tune with Scripture and address life's troubled times are a rare entity. This one is a gem. They are written from a solidly evangelical/fundamental perspective in common English.The length of each prayer varies from one-half to one whole page.They are not filled with fluff or flowery language, but state the need and express trust in God to help with the need.The nearly 200 prayers are divided into 3 sections: Praying for Myself, Praying for Others, and Praying Together. Subjects for prayer are diverse, including, A New Parent's Prayer, Prayer for Fear of Flying, Help Me Find A Job, When A Wife Dies, Prayer for A Foster Parent, Prayer As An Ambulance Passes, Prayer for An Unsaved Friend, Help With A Difficult Roommate, A Prayer for Headache Sufferers, A Prayer for People Dragged into Court, and about 180 others.Biblical, doctrinally solid, sensitive but not highly emotional---this is a tremendous prayer book. Although Jeannie St. John Taylor edited the work, over 25 individuals contributed prayers.Top notch. Go for it!
