Book Review: This Is How We Pray


This Is How We Pray:
Discovering a Life of Intimate Friendship with God

Author:  Adam Dressler
Publisher:  Faith Words
Pages:  240
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Christian Living / Prayer

This Is How We Pray explores how we can initiate and grow a relationship with God through prayer.  Adam Dressler writes about how prayer brings us into a friendship relationship with God.  Prayer allows us to be truly ourselves with God and allowing God to further our relationship with him.  Mr. Dressler also explores the ways in which we may feel unable to communicate with God:  such as guilt, and distraction.  Mr. Dressler also explores the way in which we may feel that our prayers aren’t answered, our disappointments and worries.

Mr. Dressler is very engaging and relatable from the first page.  He documents his prayer journey and the very real struggles he has encountered.  Mr. Dressler writes with an honest and relatable voice.  Mr. Dressler writes about how God’s invitation to communicate with him in prayer is all we have to accept.  This was very sobering to read because so many times we can feel unworthy and that we are not perfect enough to communicate with God, which is not true.  God longs to hear from us.

I recommend this book to everyone.  Whether you are new to prayer or if you want to deepen your understanding of prayer, read this book.

Book Review: Beyond Blessed


Beyond Blessed:
God’s Perfect Plan for No Financial Stress

Author:  Robert Morris
Publisher:  Faith Words
Pages:  272
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Christian Living

Robert Morris writes Beyond Blessed as a follow-up to his previous book The Blessed Life.  I have not had the pleasure of reading The Blessed Life however, I believe that if you read this book first, you will come away with an informative reading experience.  In Beyond Blessed, Robert Morris speaks about being a good steward with what God has given us, because after all he owns it all.  Pastor Morris writes about the roots of our debts being our need to acquire material things.  Pastor Morris goes on to speak about the practicality of credit cards and having a budget.  Pastor Morris states that being good stewards of what God has given to us allow us to ultimately bless others. 

I recommend this book because Pastor Morris writes practically about having a financially responsible life in a way that is very helpful and insightful.
