That’s right, I’ve been busy writing again. The inspiration for this particular book project was a booklet I’d put together back in 2008, aimed at helping people learn how to use The Lord’s Prayer as an outline. I hadn’t done much with it at that time, didn’t even know how to put a book together at that point. So I dusted off the concept again in February, but didn’t actually dive into the research required till March of this year.
“A Year in Prayer With Jesus” is now in the hands of reviewers and editors as of this weekend! Once again, my daughter assisted in the creation of my book cover, and if I may say so myself, it’s an awesome cover and shrinks to thumbnail size very nicely!
I invite you to check out the one-month preview available on my Facebook author page.
Here is what will appear on the back cover:
“Do you struggle with the idea of a daily prayer life? Have you ever found yourself asking along with the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray”? Then this book is for you. Let us join the disciples as we sit at Jesus’ feet and join Him in prayer. . . for an entire year.
It is important to realize that The Lord’s Prayer is not a recipe for answered prayer. Rather, it is a recipe for increased relationship with the One Who desires to answer our prayers. There is a very specific order in which Christ says we should approach God the Father. This order, if followed, brings the child of God into a place of gratitude, humility, and reverence. It seeks to bring the heart of the prayerful one into alignment with what beats God’s heart and it moves the Christian to put feet to their prayer life.
It is my desire as you go through the coming year with me, that you’ll gain a practical, living understanding and personal experiencial insight into the realm of prayer that will lift you above the materialistic tendencies; above the selfish motives; above the need for instant gratification and attention, and into the realm of God’s heart not just for you, but for those around you; not just for your own issues and needs, but those around you, and lastly, that you will experience the richness of just “being” in His presence.”
