5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a teen, and this book is very helpful., September 10, 2005

So far, this is the most helpful book on prayer that I've read. There's many books on prayer that are very lengthly and have lots of theology. But this book is especially meant for teens about my age (13-19). I suggest this book to any Christian teen who wants to have a good prayer life and who really wants to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. The book covers pretty much everything you, as a teen, will need to pray about. For teens that just became a Christian, don't sweat it! This book is definitely for you, as well as for the teen that has been a Christian for a long time. It reviews all the types of things one should pray about to break the strongholds of the enemy so that God can work in your life and in your school and in your family too. I would suggest this book for the mature and for the immature. The strong and the weak. And for every teenage Christian that loves God. Here's a brief overview of the chapters since there isn't yet an excerpt for amazon.com:

1 Lord, help me know you better
2 Lord, help me get free of past mistakes
3 Lord, help me forgive others
4 Lord, help me do what's right
5 Lord, help me stand strong againts bad influences
6 Lord, help me take control of my mind
7 Lord, help me understand your word
8 Lord, help me be free from peer pressure
9 Lord, help me have good relationships
10 Lord, help me praise you at all times
11 Lord, help me find your purpose in my life
12 Lord, help me make wise choices
13 Lord, help me get rid of bad emotions
14 Lord, help me resist temptation
15 Lord, help me be strong when bad things happen
16 Lord, help me be safe
17 Lord, help me speak with words that speak life
18 Lord, help me have faith for the impossible
19 Lord, help me know your will for my life
20 Lord, help me move into the future you have for me

Every teenager seriously must pray for these things. All of these things apply to you, and in this book, will help you. I can't stress enough how important prayer is for your relationship with God. I know you'll enjoy this book and God Bless!

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful teen book, January 5, 2007

I brought this book for my son during the middle of the year, like most teens he threw it aside, because readinging for school and his bible seem enough for him. Later on he picked it up and to my surprise began to read and share a lot of the contents of the book with his friends. He has been difficult since his dad left. This book deals with real life issues for him and appears easy enough for him to continue reading. He has not finished, but he pours over the pages with him bible next to him. I am in awe of the amount of time spent back and forth from the book to his bible. I think teens kids will get more they bargain for when they read this book.

This review is from: The Power of a Praying® Teen (Paperback)

Prayer is something that really lacks in a teen's life from my experience. This book shows that it is a neccessity in life. It also shows that any problems with may deal with that God can be there to help you through it all. All you need is the connection with him through prayer. I recommend you buying this for your kid, or buying this for yourself.
