About the Book:

Prayer Doesn't Have to Be Intimidating
Do you find yourself saying the same things to God over and over again? Does a thriving prayer life feel completely out of reach?

Maybe all it takes to open up to God is five little words. Each entry in this forty-day devotional will provide you with a simple five-word prayer, a corresponding Bible verse, and thoughts to encourage you in your communications with your heavenly Father. The short prayers in this book include...
  • I need You desperately today.
  • Set my burdened heart free.
  • Help me to forgive myself.
The strength of your prayers lies in your heart intent, not your word count. Discover a new joy in your conversations with God!

My Thoughts:

Don't be fooled by the size of Lisa Whittle's book.  This may be one of the most important books you'll read this year, or ever.  I've talked with so many believers who've struggled with prayer and communicating with God.

Whittle discusses her own personal struggle, and then launches into forty 5 word prayers that pack so much meaning into just a handful of words.  Each prayer is followed by a devotional, and each reading is about 2 or 2 and 1/2 pages in length.

With the culture changing rapidly and so much disheartening news all around us, "5 Word Prayers" will definitely encourage you and give you hope.  Plus, and most important, it will get you praying in a way that quite possibly will be the most meaningful way ever.

"5 Word Prayers" is available in bookstores now.  I'm giving this book my "for such a time", my highest award.

Until the next page turns,
