A Wonderful Tool for Prayer.

I've been a Christian for over 20 years. I've had no problem reading and re-reading my Bible or going to church regularly, or going to group Bible studies. However, my prayer life was little to non-existent. I was bored and unfocused. I found myself repeating the same "bless me" prayers over and over, and they didn't seem to be getting answered, so I was discouraged even further. I imagine God himself wasn't impressed either. I've read different books on prayer throughout the years, even prayer books by themes, that practically wrote them out for you but all it felt like was just reading out of a book, which is exactly what it was. I've been using this particular book for over a week, and I am so encouraged. It is in an easy to use format which makes sense and puts Praise first, confession of sin second, and so on, and lists hundreds of scriptures. So you can make your own prayers with these scriptures. Her sample prayers are short, sweet and to the point so you can easily reword them in your own style, but they conform perfectly to the scriptures. There is a systematic way to pray and you can cover the whole thing in about 20 minutes, once you "get it." However, I have been spending most of my time in the Praise section to get familiar with this wonderful book and to focus on those scriptures more. It has helped me to better visualize the riches we really do have in Him. As a result of meditating on these scriptures in the mornings and praying them back to God, I have felt uplifted and encouraged, and my heart is more compassionate toward other people. I feel happier and more confident. I feel more aware, and more thankful for what God has done for me. I find myself thinking about what pleases Him more even througout the day. I used to feel like I had two lives.....my Christian life at home and at church with my little two-bit "bless me" prayers, and my secular life at work and facing the world. Now I feel myself wanting to be what God wants me to be all the time, not just when it seems convenient. For me, this book is an answered prayer. There IS a correct way to pray, and this book presents an excellent blueprint. I thank God that He has used this author to communicate His Word in such an effective yet simple way to encourage us to do what He wants us to do.

great tool

This book has really helped me in my study on prayer. To be able to get answers to your prayers is actually knowing the word of God. You have to speak to God in his language. Thank you

Real help in praying

Most of us who are Christians would not describe ourselves as "prayer warriors," yet we want to learn how to pray better. Mrs. Grant's book takes us quickly to find help in actually doing it, pulling us beyond our own laundry list of needs and wants to worship, confession, praying for others, etc. And for those of us who find difficulty finding the words to say, she give us help from the best source of all, the Scriptures.

Media Review

MEDIA REVIEW PRAYING IN THE WORD OF GOD: Advancing Christ's Kingdom by Kathleen G. Grant (Winner of the USA BOOK NEWS "Best Books 2004" Award for best book in religion.) In Praying in the Word of God: Advancing Christ's Kingdom, Kathleen G. Grant explains not only the importance of prayer, but also the methods one should use in order to pray according to God's will. Grant shows us how, through the use of scriptures during prayer, we can be drawn closer to the Lord. The main emphasis throughout all of Grant's teaching is how many aspects of our lives prayer affects, and how many people are changed by it. As we use her method of praise, confession, and prayer, our hearts will open to unknown needs within ourselves and a passion for the broken spirits of others around the world. This book offers a gift to those not familiar with Scripture, those not comfortable with prayer, or those searching for the time to pray effectively. It provides us with a time-efficient system of prayer to get the most out of our time with God, without losing the meaning. Each part of this prayer program is explained with clarity and easy-to-follow instructions. Grant makes it personal by allowing room for our own thoughts, objectives and concerns. She also brings the world to our doorstep. She not only shows us how to pray for other nations, she also produces a picture of those nations through the use of maps and charts. I now find myself in an unusual place as a result of reading this book. I can no longer use the excuse, "I don't know how to pray," or "There is not enough time to pray." I have been shown how to pray and that it takes very little time. She has given us a reason to pray and has shown us the way. I would encourage you to use this book, not only to enhance your own prayer life, but also as a tool for impacting the world. Jennifer L. Hess, Christian Book Previews.com

This book uses scripture as the basis for prayer. Her scriptural and prayer usage is profound-I pray God continues to use her & her gifts all over the world.
