5.0 out of 5 stars "More than 25 Stars, A book to treasure!", March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prison to Praise (Paperback)

The true story of the author, this book has an amazing ability to reach the unreachable, to help the depressed, to change the course of a life forever! This wonderful book has set many prisoners, inmates, and losers onto the course of success.

This book has been a best seller for many years for one simple fact. It is annointed! It will help the one who is a skeptic, who is an agnostic, who is an atheist, but most of all for the believer it will rekindle the fire of your faith.

It is one of the best books ever printed! It has saved many lives, it has changed the course of history for so many who were on a trek of tribulation and destruction.

For the psychiatrist, psychologist, the mental health professional, for those who work with the severely depressed, this book is a wonderful resource. It should be on every chaplain's desk.

This review is from: Prison to Praise (Paperback)

Years ago I read this book and decided to pick it up and read it again, I am glad that I did. Many times in our Christian walk we
need to remember that we serve a God who loves us. This book helped me to remember that.
The Word of God says, " Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you!" (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18).
That my friend can be a hard pill to swallow, but the author helps you to understand what God is actually saying to you in this Scripture and many others.
We are here to learn, to love and to show others through ourselves a God that loves them. Adverse situations come to us all, that is part of our training, but how well we handle it and how well we use the weapons that are in God's Word depends on us.
Praise is a force that can move mountains and bring great peace and victory to Christians. This book will help you understand just how important praise is to a Christian. If you have an opportunity, pick up a copy and put into practice what you will learn reading it. Remember, God inhabits the praises of His people...........you are never alone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting and Faith Affirming, June 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Prison to Praise (Paperback)

As someone who has drifted away from religion and was facing a difficult situation in which my child has some intense special needs, this book was given to me to read. It truly reaches to your soul and spirit and helps put you back in touch with God. Simply by thanking and praising God for everything. This book is a blessing. Overnight, I feel calmer and more content in my life, simply by saying "thank you" to God.
