I bought this book at a very pivital point in my life. I was in a sense, growing up in my spirituality. This book was something that I would turn to on a daily basis. There are different topics for each day and each day that topic touched my heart. Beth Moore takes from personal experiences in her life and allows God to speak through them. As a reader I was able to feel relief that someone else has felt the same feelings I was feeling. The different writing sections for prayer were such a touching time for me. I was able to speak to God through my pen each day and it became a comfort each morning. Even though I filled up the writing sections over a year ago, I can still take out the daily topics and grasp something from it. Beth Moore takes the whispers that God has whispered to her and whispers them to her readers. Definately a book to keep on your nightstand!

Beth Moore's book divinely entered my life during a public crisis. By sharing with me, through her book, her insights to prayer and to actually "hearing" God's whispers, I was able to reconnect with my own spirituality and to objectively and positively manage the crisis I had to endure. I grately appreciated her insights, her humbleness which so awesomely shines through in her writing. Her ability to convey to the reader a keen sense of the importance of both the study of prayer and the practice of prayer can truly change your life! I am grateful for the "Journal" format provided in Beth's book. This feature enables one to look back and track the answers to prayer ensuring an enhanced daily spiritual commitment. Whispers of Hope can certainly be used as a tool to help one grow in faith and grace.

My mom got me this book for my birthday. It took me a week or so to actually get 'into' it, but once I did. I LOVE IT! The daily topics are excellent and are easy to take into a deeper study of God's Word. The sections to record prayer are also wonderful. It really helps you to focus your prayer life and listen to the Lord. I've seen God working so much in my life since I began the book.

This is a wonderful book for all of you who would really like to have a dynamic prayer life, but don't know what to do or how to start. Beth Moore is an inspired teacher and will guide you in developing a deep and passionate prayer life with God. Highly recommend.

Beth Moore is one of the most down to earth, God-seeking woman I have had the pleasure to learn from through devotionals and bible studies. Whispers of Hope is a great daily reminder of how to connect with the Savior- reminding us to always start with praise. Her daily thought-provoking devotionals are really good and make you want to dig deeper into the Word. I am really enjoying this.

This is my first Beth Moore book. A friend recommended it to me and I am indebted to her for this suggestion. It truly is a wonderful book. The only reason I am giving it four stars could be why so many are giving it five. I really wish I could swap the journal pages for more lessons. There are seventy in total, I wish there were 140 instead. Maybe a supplemental journal would have been a better idea? Additionally, I REALLY don't like the idea of writing in books. Especially with a $20 price tag, I plan on passing it to someone else once I am done. I still journal my prayers in a separate notebook.

Now, as far as contents go, I would give it 5 stars all the way. While I am not new in my faith, prayer is something I have always struggled with. Beth uses the acronym P.R.A.I.S.E. to show you an effective method of prayer:

P- PRAISE the Lord. Tell Him how great He is!
R- REPENTANCE. Confess and seek forgiveness
A- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Submit to the Lord and acknowledge his authority in your life.
I- INTERCESSION. Pray for others.
S- SUPPLICATION for SELF. Pray for yourself.
E- EQUIPPING. Ask the Lord to give you the tools you need to get through the day.

What really amazes me is her ability to draw you into each "lesson". The Lord has blessed her with INCREDIBLE insight and a way to get the message across to the reader. This book could easily replace any devotional. In essence that's what this book is, just with a guide to prayer. If I were to offer any more criticism however, it would be this: After a week, I found that my prayers were feeling a bit "forced". Perhaps this is just a personal thing, but I found myself trying too hard to fit my prayer into the P.R.A.I.S.E. format. I found it to be more of a hinderance, my prayers did not flow freely from the heart as I thought they should. Not to say people will not benefit from this book, in fact quite the opposite. It's still a thrill to get up every morning and read the lessons. I am very glad I bought it.

This is my second time buying this journal. I filled the first one up a few years ago and wanted to have another. I was so glad to find sellers on Amazon with this book, since it is currently out of print. The seller was great and the book/journal exactly as described. Thank you Amazon!

I've had trouble with my prayer life on and off like a roller coaster. I thought it would be that way forever, until I was given this book as a gift. The way Beth breaks down prayer and her explanation on what prayer could-should be, has helped me to focus and stay on track with my prayers. It's truly remarkable and the best prayer aid I've read. The only slightly negative part is that I usually run out of room when writing my prayers.

One of my favorite daily devotion books. I have finished it once and am using it again. I like the way Beth Moore explains the scripture and also enjoy the directed prayer.

There are some excellent gems packed in there. The photography alone is breathtaking.
