Pocket Prayers Series by Max Lucado and Friends – Book Review
When it comes to prayer, Max Lucado asks, what type of prayer people are we?
Do we excel at prayer like the SEAL Team Six of Intercessors? Do we belong to the PGA – the Prayer Giants Association? Or are we card-carrying members of the PWA – the Prayer Wimps Association?
If you find yourself confessing to be members of the latter group, don’t be ashamed – you’ll find that you are in good company!
It turns out that of all the amazing things that the disciples ever saw Jesus do – heal the sick, raise people from the dead, walk on water – nothing must have left as indelible an impression on their hearts as the way that Jesus prayed, because it is the only thing that they ever asked Him to specifically teach them how to do (Luke 11:1-4).
In response, Jesus gave them (and us) The Lord’s Prayer – a “quotable, repeatable, portable prayer” – that is not only easy to learn, but serves as a pattern for all of our prayers to come!
In a similar fashion, best-selling author Max Lucado has teamed up with six fellow authors to write the Pocket Prayers series – a collection of six books, each containing forty guided prayers along with complementary scriptures, addressing situations the following groups of individuals are likely to encounter:
- Moms (written with daughter Andrea Lucado)
- Grads (written with daughter Andrea Lucado)
- Dads (written with Mark Mynheir)
- Military Life (written with Mark Mynheir)
- Teachers (written with blogger Jennifer Hale)
- Friends (written with author Betsy St. Amant)
Everyone needs prayer. Everyone needs peace, renewal, faith, hope, joy, direction, serenity and courage. Pocket Prayers are a non-intimidating, loving way to show that you care.
Pocket Prayers make the perfect gifts for the special people God has placed in your life!
I am giving my copy of Pocket Prayers For Friends to a neighbor that I’ve been sharing the love of Jesus with. Which Pocket Prayers will you be sharing with the people in your life?
I rate this book series 5 out of 5 stars.
