My Review ~
A self-help book in learning how to pray effectively and listen for God's response, this book is a valuable tool in discovering God's direction for our lives. Each chapter focuses on a topic that relates to conversations with God and scriptural lessons that confirm Jesus' examples and teachings on faith, renouncing the evil one, and believing the promises in scripture through Jesus' teachings. Lessons in quieting one's mind and praying conversational prayers lead to exercises in developing trust and listening for answers to those prayers. An exercise at the end of each section gives the reader space to write down significant highlights from each prayer which may reveal an immediate answer from God, or a response that may be revealed in time.
Linda Evans Shepherd has written a powerful book illustrating practical tools for those who want a closer relationship with God. Scriptural references accurately support her examples. Lessons and prayers are practical and create an effective method of releasing the holds of evil from our lives and replacing those thoughts with faith-based beliefs. I found this book very informative and helpful in my prayer life, and will read this book again and again. I highly recommend it for those looking for a closer relationship with God. I look forward to reading more of this author's books!

Nancee, this sounds like a really helpful and maybe much needed book. Thanks for your review.
ReplyDeleteNancee, what a great review! A lot of people are looking for a closer walk/relationship with God but they really don't know where to begin. This sounds like a most helpful book. I am thinking of a lady who recently started attending our Church. She is so lost, so afraid of life, and actually borders on the edge of letting fear take over her life. I'm thinking perhaps this book would be of great help to her.
ReplyDeleteJudy, this would be a wonderful book for her! If I weren't keeping it myself I'd send it to you to give to her. I have found the prayers and exercises in this book very helpful to me, and will reuse this book on a frequent basis. Watch for some giveaways. This is a fairly new release.
DeleteThank you for sharing a great review, Nancee! This sounds like a very helpful book!
ReplyDeleteNancee, I had never heard of this author, but I loved her book. Such a conversational style of writing packed with tons of memorable quotes. This is another book I will be keeping!
