Starting with the basics of prayer, When A Woman Prays, will guide you to a more satisfying prayer life. I read this book on a reccomendation from a friend. When I was just a few chapters into it I thought, "I already know this stuff."
As I read, I realized it didn't hurt to review the basics. Tina Miller makes prayer more inspirational than I ever thought it could be, and she does this without sounding preachy. It is easy to relate to her personal experiences, as she talks right to you. I will be reccomending this book to all my friends, and their mothers.

Tina Miller gets down to the nitty gritty of what prayer is all about in this book! No matter what your questions about prayer... whether it be how to pray or what to pray... the answers can be found inside the pages in a thorough, yet personal explanation. If you've ever wondered if you were praying "the right way," or if you ever wanted to make your prayer life more effective, this is a must read book. Unlike many books on prayer, Mrs. Miller doesn't try to talk over our heads. She approaches the subject in such a way that all women can relate. She even includes examples of how her own life has been and is even now being effected by prayer. As an avid book reader, I often read books, then trade them for something new. Only when a book has what I like to call "rereadability" does it remain on my bookshelves. "When a Woman Prays" is what I would definitely call a "keeper."

This is a wonderful book for women seeking their own spirituality path, looking to reinvigorate the one they are on, or hoping to strengthen their own beliefs. Tina Miller has done an amazing job of bringing hope and reality together in a powerful book that helps everyday women find strength in prayer.

When A Woman Prays by freelance writer and motivational speaker Tina L. Miller is a heartfelt and inspiring spiritual guide for women earnestly seeking to be closer to God and His infinite love. Individual chapters cogently discuss the search for forgiveness, the life-affirming importance of faith, and the soul-filled value of learning to truly listen. Highly recommended reading for those with an interest in an enhanced personal spirituality and personal relationship with God, When A Woman Prays offers meaningful wisdom for Christian women everywhere, and a great deal to think about.

In When a Woman Prays, Tina Miller's heartfelt message reaches out to women in all stages of faith. Her straightforward approach makes it easy to grasp the power of prayer in your life, and simply explains how to begin or renew your relationship with God. Whether you pray regularly, struggle with prayer or have never prayed before, I highly recommend reading When a Woman Prays to help you find the hope and comfort we all so desperately need.

Often we get so busy in our lives, that we forget the importance of prayer. This is a great book that not only reminds us to pray, but gives great advice on how to pray. It's conversational style allows you to really experience the points she is trying to get across to the reader.

Great job Tina!

This is a great book for women who may never have prayed or who have not prayed much in their lives. It addresses the basic, simple question: How do I pray? What should I pray for? And, how do I know if I'm doing it right?

What I like most about this book is that it presents prayer in its simple, most honest form - as an ongoing relationship with God. Whether it's praying for self or loved ones, strangers or enemies, Miller explains that a successful, fulfilling prayer life is not a formula. It is not something you do right or wrong. It is like talking to a trusted friend...only better. God loves us unconditionally and without limits; and He always has time to give us His undivided attention.

In these pages, Miller tackles tough questions like, "Does God hear and answer every prayer?" "Why do bad things happen even after I've prayed?" "How do I get to know God?" "Why does God seems so distant sometimes?" "Is it okay to be angry or upset with God?" "How do I get started in praying?" "Is it okay to pray formal, written prayers?"

In contrast to the "feel-good, get-what-you-want" teachings on prayer today, Miller emphasizes that the key to an effective prayer life is to understand that we do not pray to get what we want. Rather, it is an invitation for God to do what He wants. She emphasizes that it is not the words of the prayer that matter, but the sincerity behind the prayer. She emphasizes knowing God is a choice, that He has to be invited into our lives, and that prayer is a very practical, fulfilling way to do that.

For those who have not prayed much before, Miller provides sample questions to the reader thinking about her personal prayer life and provides sample prayers to get you started.

Miller does make references to the teachings of popular "positive thinkers" and includes them in her suggested reading list. While I do not support positive-thinking or seed-planting theologies, these references are occasional and offhand. Overall, this book reads like a personal conversation with the author as she encourages and motivates readers to get to know the God who loves them so much that He laid down His own life for them.
