?I wanted my prayer life to become a life of prayer. . ."

This review appeared in Christian Library Journal.Weaving a Life of Prayer is a combination devotional/Bible study/how-to book on prayer. In the introduction, author Marsha Crockett describes her frustration with making time to pray. She says, "I wanted my prayer life to become a life of prayer, to breathe with the reality of God in the earthiness of my everyday living."Crockett explores the role of prayer in the lives of women in the Bible: Sarah, Rebekah, Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and others. She relates the scriptures to events in her own life, experiences that drew her closer to God as she learned to turn her disappointments and struggles toward Him.The book is arranged in thirty daily readings. The front and back covers have generous flaps to help the reader keep her place. A firm believer in the value of journaling, Crockett strongly encourages the reader to apply the book's principles to her own life by recording her thoughts in a journal. The end of each daily reading contains suggestions for journal entries.Weaving a Life of Prayer is an excellent tool for the person who wants to pray with abandon.--Andrea R. Huelsenbeck
