Well, maybe not EVERY need, February 4, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Bible Prayers for All Your Needs (Paperback)
I saw this book on a rack at the grocery store. Thought it might come in handy. So I picked it up. It covers a lot of territory, although there are some odd phrases, arcane scripture, and typos that will leave you scratching your head. But don't approach the book as a verbatim guide. These aren't Hail Mary's you're praying here. You'll have to take some of the prayers and tailor them to your own situation. The prayer for the newborn baby, for example, is written from the parent's point of view. So if you are praying for a new nephew or niece, you'll need to tweak it. Also, a lot of the prayers are very similar. And many of the prayers seem geared toward people who are already "super-Christians." A few more prayers for us "seekers" and sinners would have been nice. I also wish this book had more prayers that could be said on behalf of other people. And surprisingly, there are no prayers for meals in the book. But enough about what the book lacks. All in all, it's good. I recommend it. As I said, it covers a lot of territory. Just don't expect it to cover _every_ need. You'll have to learn to pray on your own. And this book can help.

Surprisingly Wonderful, February 10, 2000

All of the other books I've skimmed that had prayers in it were so goofy or just didn't incorporate the word. They were more like affirmations books. I read the prayers in this book and they really spoke to me. Having the sccriptures from each prayer is also a good way to study. I love it! I already sent one to one of my family memebers.

Your prayers using God's word, July 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Bible Prayers for All Your Needs (Paperback)
I recieved this book from a radio evangelist in California as a gift. We all, or most of us, struggle with our prayers. Not that we hope that they are heard but if we understand them ourselves. This book of "heart" prayers is so alive with the "word" it's as if they were personally extracted from the bible by God himself. By looking at the scripture and reading the prayer you quickly make the "faith" connection that humbles your heart, turns your eyes toward Jesus and reasures your soul that this simple book will bring you closer to God. AMEN
