Refreshing

When the book came, I thought it was a bit small. After I started reading it however, I totally enjoyed it. Not only was it thought provoking, it is very well written. After reading it through the first time, I am reading it again and getting new things out of again. Very precious and refreshing.

Prayer Models

We learn to pray by praying ourselves, but we also learn about prayer from other pray-ers. That's the value of Nancy Kennedy's book on Bible women who prayed. From more than thirty Biblical women at prayer, she has chosen ten to illustrate key points of prayer.They include Deborah (strength and conviction), Hannah (help), Esther (courage), the Canaanite woman (mercy), the woman who needed healing (faith), Salome (boldness), "sinful" woman (contrite heart), Anna (persistence), Martha (hope) and Mary (joy). Kennedy pulls in other scriptures plus poignant personal stories to make this a for-real book. You'll long remember, for example, the lawnmower story (pp. 29-31). You may also identify with Nancy's prayers when depression struck her daughter and husband. Each chapter ends with guided study and contemplation to make it a useful tool for personal or informal group study.
