"God is a God of promises." (11)
Title: Praying God's PromisesAuthor: Linda Evans Sheperd
Publisher: Revell
Prayer changes things. Praying God's promises changes everything.
The Scriptures tell us that when we pray the will of God, he delights to answer our prayers. But what is God's will in any given situation? How can we know it? And if we don't know it, how can we pray it?
In this inspiring book, Linda Evans Shepherd reveals that God's will is not a mystery--it's clearly laid out in his Word through his many promises. Through stories, practical application, examples of prayers, and guided reflection, she leads you toward a more powerful prayer life. Arranged by topic for ease of use, this book shows how to pray God's promises of peace, for health, for relationships, for our children, and so much more.
Shepherd also includes a chapter on God's powerful answers to prayer that will inspire you to search the Scriptures, pray God's will, and wait expectantly for his promised answers.

MY THOUGHTS
I've always loved Linda Evans Shepherd's approach to scripture and her books about prayer. We're called to pray and we're assured by God's promises to us in His Book. The author's latest release, Praying God's Promises couldn't come at a better time in my life. It was just what I needed to focus on certain areas, and to read His word and the thoughts in my mind and heart. What I really liked about this book is the various sections that applicable to our daily lives. With 27 topics, the author shared biblical references and quotes and her personal thoughts. There's more of the former and it is well organized. Already, I've referred to it several times, and I believe there are many more opportunities.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. I was not required to write a positive review, and have not been compensated for this. This is my honest opinion.
