Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Shanklin, the national prayer manager of Promise Keepers, a fast-growing Christian men's movement in North America, credits his mother for being his earliest role model in faith and prayer. With freelance journalist and author Whalin, he encourages men to persevere in daily commitment to prayer with stories that illuminate the power of prayer in many men's lives. Each chapter, grounded in scripture, is devoted to a particular intention, such as prayers for broken relationships, children, and the workplace and in times of sickness, anger, and courage. The chapter titled "Prayers for Strife with Your Wife" may surprise critics who view the movement as patriarchal and exclusive because the prayers exemplify a spirit of humility, gentleness, and genuine respect for others.

This review is from: The Book of Prayers: A Man's Guide to Reaching God (Hardcover)
I bought this book several ago but only recently decided to read through it. I was very disappointed. As is true with many prayers that are offered by Christians, the prayers in this book seem to be written as an excuse to sermonize and teach the reader, rather than to earnestly communicate with God. I thought that they were very poorly written.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to write prayers for others to read and pray. Prayer is such a personal exercise, that this concept of written prayers almost always seems stilted and forced. The exception to this reality are prayers that come from the Bible, like the Lord's prayer. In any case, I did not find this book to be very helpful. I appreciate the author's intentions, but would not recommend this book of prayers.
