. . . an excellent guide to focusing on the character of God daily for a month. (Biblical Ministries Worldwide )

A simple, useful and immensely practical little book that links the spiritual disciplines to the character of God. (Reformation and Revival Journal )

From the Back Cover

Offering neither quick fixes nor canned prayers, this book links the spiritual disciplines of Bible study and prayer into one powerful tool to deepen your relationship with God.

Rosemary Jensen, general director of the Rafiki Foundation and former executive director of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), has compiled thirty-one prayer devotionals designed to direct thoughtful meditation on specific attributes of God, such as His accessibility, eternality, justice, holiness, and wisdom. Each short study highlights a divine attribute by using the ACTS acrostic, encompassing the four essential elements of a growing prayer life—Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication.  Space is also included to record specific concerns, prayer requests, or what you have learned.

This guide is sure to enrich and revitalize your prayer life as you meditate on and respond to the truth of who God is in a focused way.

Rosemary M. Jensen served as executive director of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International for twenty years before becoming  general director of the Rafiki Foundation. Rafiki operates centers of mercy in developing countries to teach the Bible and to give physical, educational, and vocational help to needy women and children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable training in truly Biblical prayer, January 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Praying the Attributes of God: A Guide to Personal Worship Through Prayer (Paperback)

Rosemary Jensen has taken her many years of training Bible Study Fellowship leaders how to pray, and put it in a book that can be used as a daily prayer guide for the reader. This is not a book about prayer, it is a book that will train you to pray biblically. The book is organized into 31 chapters, each about a different attribute of God. Each chapter begins with a list of verses that are about a specific attribute of God (for example: jealous, glory, good, etc.)As you spend time meditating on them your understanding of who God is, deepens. That leads to confession of sin in your life as it pertains to that attribute, followed by giving of thanks about that same attribute of God. After that, blank space is given to record your prayer requests and thoughts regarding that attribute. This is repeated for 31 different attributes...a month's worth.
This is a book you will wear out from using over and over again. It is worth its weight in gold. The spiritual depth and insight it communicates will truly deepen your relationship with God.

This review is from: Praying the Attributes of God: A Guide to Personal Worship Through Prayer (Paperback)

This is an excellent book with 31 chapters (1 for each day of the month) to guide your prayer time each day. Mrs. Jensen gives scripture for each attribute for each day.Praying God's Word is the key to personal worship through prayer. I love getting to the end of the month and knowing I'll start over with Day 1. This book will add a new dimension to your prayer life.
