Book Reviews of Get Off Your Knees and Pray: A Woman's Guide to Life-Changing Prayer
Book Review: Sheila did it on "Faith" and now she's done it with "prayer'!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are two hard Biblical topics to wrap your mind around. One is faith and the other is prayer. I know this review is on "Get Off Your Knees and Pray!" but it would be an injustice to not mention Sheila's book "Extraordinary Faith" too! When I read "Extraoridinary Faith" I thought finally somebody has written a book that gives you an understanding of what faith is and how it is not based on us, but on God in us! Well, Sheila has done it again with prayer. "Get Off Your Knees and Pray" is a book that will free you up and help you to understand that as a Christian, prayer is your birthright and it will strengthen your whole life. Here is one of my favorite parts from this book.
"We hear people telling us that the way to God is clearer through something or someone else. That if we read this book, the author will tell us how to reach God. That if we send money to that ministry, someone will talk to God and receive and answer on our behalf. Rubbish! God talks to His people through His Word, through the counsel of Godly friends, and to our own hearts through the Holy Spirit." Skipping 3 paragraphs she goes onto say this. "I'm saying that prayer is sometimes just the beginning of the conversation. So many of the spiritual disciplines that used to be practiced by believers have, to a large extent, been lost. Meditation, solitude, and fasting are elements that are often missing from our lives. It takes an intentional choice to carve out time in our overfull schedules to listen to the voice of God in that way. But Jesus assured us that when we look past all the books and speakers and seek to commune with Him, we will know His voice."
I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to hear from God through prayer or to the one who already faithfully prays.
Summary of Get Off Your Knees and Pray: A Woman's Guide to Life-Changing Prayer
We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so religious. We assume that only the very spiritual hear from Him directly. But author Sheila Walsh says "Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer."
Get Off Your Knees and Pray is a real woman's guide to real prayer-from understanding the biblical basis for prayer to cultivating a vital personal relationship with God. It is the perfect blend of practical advice, personal stories, and biblical truth to encourage and help you achieve greater intimacy with God through prayer. Prayer is not just a few sentences we say to God while on our knees. It is living out our ongoing, every-moment commitment to God.
"Sheila steers us away from prayer as formula (say the right things the right way and God responds) and toward prayer as picture-a picture of God's desired relationship. Talking. Listening. Trusting. Living. This volume, warm and witty like its author deserves a spot on every reading calendar."
-Max Lucado, best-selling author and minister
"No matter what kind of difficulty you have about prayer, this book will
help. Sheila has experienced all of them, and she will take you through them
to where God has taken her: straight into His very real and accepting
Presence."
-Dr. Henry Cloud, speaker and coauthor of Boundaries
