My
Thoughts:
I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is
struggling in their prayer life and they are wanting to become closer to their
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I liked how Max Lucado wrote in a way that was
very practical and easy for readers to comprehend. I liked how he illustrated
that when children talk to their father, they use simple language and they don’t
have to use the most vocabulary words. I learned that prayer can be simple and
it doesn’t have to be dramatic and I don’t have to pray to impress God or
anyone else. He wants me to pray what’s in my heart and in my mind. Max
reminded readers to come to God like a little child and I think this is critical.
This book personally couldn’t have been written in a better time because we all
know the world is in chaos, fear is trying to overwhelm us, and trials are
trying to overtake us. Prayer is the key to communicating with God and this
book can be a huge benefit to you, if you take its message to heart! If you’re
looking a book to help you in your prayer life, then read this one!

| About the book:
We all pray . . .
some.
We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent.
When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month
does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray.
But wouldn't we like to pray more? Better?
Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency?
Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay,
deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger
on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain
words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests.
We aren't the first to struggle with prayer.
The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is
the only tutorial they ever requested.
And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on
prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable,
portable prayer. Couldn't we use the same?
In Before Amen
