I
generally do not favor prayer compilations, as we tend to consider them more
than the Bible – a practice that I disagree with, as I believe our prayer
should be a personal communication with our Creator. However, I Mrs. Lewis’s novels, which depict
the Amish people with straightforwardness and a caring heart that reflects
their deep communion with God. This sparked my curiosity about this book,
knowing that the compilation would be made by someone knowledgeable in the
matter, and despite that
No
wonder why those characters are so rich and faithful! With prayers like the ones in this
compilation, we witness the validity and authority of the Word of God. It
includes prayers said in different times of the day, like breakfast, in
different moments of life, like death, and even in different attitudes, like
thankfulness. Each prayer has a Bible reference from which it takes its
inspiration, reminding us how Biblical principles can be applied to different
aspects of our life.
There
are not enough words to fully describe how special this compilation is. I hold it, and I know I’m holding something
special and unique – that is how powerful the Word of God is, the source of
inspiration for the prayers.
The
essence and main beauty of this book is its expression of trust and faith in
the Almighty God, always aligning our whole self to Him. This precious little
book reminds us that prayer is a thing from the heart.
I
received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in
exchange for a review. This did not bias my opinion on the book, nor on the
author.
