Allyson M. Deese opens this spiritual experience with the title piece, "Somebody Prayed For Me," a heartfelt poem that reminds us of the importance of prayer. There are so many things we could have been in life but somebody prayed for you and for me. And now we must pray for others because prayer does change things. In Silent Cries, Linda R. Herman shares the tale of a teen-aged mother who suffers abuse and rape at the hands of the person she loves. Rape is devastating at any age, but imagine a seventeen year-old girl struggling to get past the pain. With prayer, it is possible. Tinisha N. Johnson’s short story, Facing Reality, opens our eyes to how much our children are influenced by our actions. A mother tries to drown her sorrows in alcohol but doesn’t realize the affect her behavior has upon her twelve-year-old daughter until she makes a shocking discovery. Every piece was written with the hope of inspiring and reminding everyone of the importance of prayer.

Lord Have Mercy!,
By Wanda B. Campbell "Author and Avid Reader" (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Somebody Prayed For Me (Paperback)
Have you ever been in a position where you couldn't or didn't think to pray for yourself? In Somebody Prayed For Me, literary sisters Linda R. Herman, Allyson M. Deese, and Tinisha N. Johnson reminds you of that place. While taking you through the valley, Somebody Prayed For Me, restores faith and an appreciation for that old congregational song.
These stories not only touch the soul, but also raises awareness to the plight that women in every economical and social status suffer on a daily basis. From HIV awareness to mental and physical abuse, these ladies leave no stone unturned.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A very REAL book,
This review is from: Somebody Prayed For Me (Paperback)
I do not know if the stories in this book are real, but they read as if they could be. Very eye opening. I typically like to read books that are more uplifting. This book is not uplifting at the beginning. 'Somebody prayed for me' started out giving me a depressing feeling about the world and the choices that people make. As I read further, the message of the importance of prayer came through.
I like the message of knowing that even when you can barely help yourself, someone else out there is praying for you. It may be someone who knows you, or it may not. The book sets a goal to inspire and remind everyone of the importance of prayer. I think this book achieves that goal, and provides much more.
