Nick Harrison has compiled great Bible verses, comments on prayer from the heros of the faith and his insight into a excellent prayer devotional.

BUT, the life changing part about this book is the interesting, compelling daily reminder to pray to our God and Heavenly Father. This book teaches us how to pray, but even more importantly it teaches when to pray - daily.

I gave this book to my husband and it is the greatest gift that i ever gave him. He has used it to minister to other people and it has caused his relationship with God to grow. He has blessed so many of his friends with this book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper relationship with God.

A Blessed Wife

This book was given to me by a dear friend. Since then, I have purchased numerous copies myself to share with other friends. It is a year long devotional filled with inspiring devotions from various believers through the ages. Rich, encouraging, challenging and growth inspiring. A must for those who desire to grow in their prayer life.

To me, this is the most underrated, underpublicized devotional book/prayer devotional out there. I had not heard of it before but received it as a gift. It awakened my faith, drew me into prayer that was alive and faith-filled, and helped God seem "more real" in my life - and I felt like I was really "engaging" with God in prayer as I went through the devotional book and applied it. VERY ENCOURAGING, uplifting and faith building. It has substance too. Each daily meditation has a scripture, a small "clip" from a hero of the faith who were prayerers, and then a small synopsis called "Pray About It" that invites you into that wonderful world of prayer with boldness and expectation based on that day's entry. Wonderful nuggets from each featured prayerer for that day. Also, in the back of the book there is a great list of prayer/faith heroes and their books for further reading to build faith and ignite your prayer experience even more. My advise is simple GET IT, GET IT, GET IT (or if it is for a gift: GIVE IT, GIVE IT, GIVE IT :) My only hope is that they re-release the hardback version.

This is a great addition to your library or a wonderful first book on prayer. Harrison brings a section out of the Bible, then some insight from a well known writer and honored author and then a few lines on "prayer" itself. What a wonderful and enlightening method of study! The fact that the author has gathered so many authors and folks full of faith is truly a huge effort to combine so much into a rather small book (512 pages). Small I state, because this book speaks volumes on the greats throughout the ages that have something to say about prayer. How the author packed so much into this book is wonder of itself.
Often times people pray as if making a list for Santa Claus. This book helps you to explore how to listen and be of service in you spiritual walk.
Nike Harrison did a marvelous job at bringing to life a huge volume of thought that reaches back 100s of years. I did not start this book on a special day, like New Years day, and I do read it skipping around a bit. That works for me. I should purchase a few more of these books as I am sure to wear out my current book.
No matter what you may be dealing with in life, or even if your life is perfect right now - this book can deepen you prayer experience and broaden your spiritual growth.
If I had a few more dollars in the bank, I would purchase a few and send them out to my friends and family.
May you find as much comfort and intellectual satisfaction as I have in this book!
