Incredibly inspirational

Fabulous insights into the power of praise

This book made it in my top ten books ever!

Our ladies Bible study group chose this book and its sequel to study in June. We thought we could breeze through it in four weeks. lol. Not with this bunch of seasoned Christians. We all had to share the miracles in our own lives and after the chapter on thanking God for everything, even a flat tire, we each shared our experiences during the week and how God was definitely at work. The ladies loved this book and it is written for men, so I highly recommend it for your husbands.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

Years ago I read this book and decided to pick it up and read it again, I am glad that I did. Many times in our Christian walk weneed to remember that we serve a God who loves us. This book helped me to remember that.The Word of God says, " Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you!" (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18).That my friend can be a hard pill to swallow, but the author helps you to understand what God is actually saying to you in this Scripture and many others. We are here to learn, to love and to show others through ourselves a God that loves them. Adverse situations come to us all, that is part of our training, but how well we handle it and how well we use the weapons that are in God's Word depends on us.Praise is a force that can move mountains and bring great peace and victory to Christians. This book will help you understand just how important praise is to a Christian. If you have an opportunity, pick up a copy and put into practice what you will learn reading it. Remember, God inhabits the praises of His people...........you are never alone!

everyone should read it once

This book helped me through a crisis time in my life. It came just in time. It is a faith builder. When i first read it absolutely couldn't put it down. I couldn't believe that thanking God could be so powerful. I just couldn't accept that this little book's stories were true and this guy was for real. But I put it into practice and it does work. I have preached the message and the fire spreads. But I cannot stress enough to keep on thanking God throughout your life. If you stop you can definetly tell the difference. It is worth your time.

The truth is in this book!

This is quite possibly the best book (aside from the Bible) that the believer (or nonbeliever for that matter) could ever read! If you are stuck in a spiritual rut, or just want to get closer to God, Prison to Praise will help you jump-start your faith. I was so amazed how close I got to God so quickly simply by praising Him! You just have to see for yourself. It is impossible to be skeptical of this book after reading it-- I guarentee it will change the life of anyone who reads it and puts praise to work!

"More than 25 Stars, A book to treasure!"

The true story of the author, this book has an amazing ability to reach the unreachable, to help the depressed, to change the course of a life forever! This wonderful book has set many prisoners, inmates, and losers onto the course of success.This book has been a best seller for many years for one simple fact. It is annointed! It will help the one who is a skeptic, who is an agnostic, who is an atheist, but most of all for the believer it will rekindle the fire of your faith.It is one of the best books ever printed! It has saved many lives, it has changed the course of history for so many who were on a trek of tribulation and destruction.For the psychiatrist, psychologist, the mental health professional, for those who work with the severely depressed, this book is a wonderful resource. It should be on every chaplain's desk.
