Handbook of Positive Prayer

by Hypatia Hasbrouck

Hypatia Hasbrouck does not simply teach that prayer is a worthwhile practice―she teaches how to pray. Handbook of Positive Prayer is full of exercises, tools, specific steps, and practices to use in creating your personal prayer life. \n\nHasbrouck explains the meaning of affirmative prayer and why we use the word amen. She writes extensively about visualization as a form of prayer. She makes suggestions for prayer journals, prayer partners, prayer letters, and a nine\-hour prayer vigil or novena―praying once every hour using the same, simple prayer―to create peace of mind in any circumstances.\n\nShe teaches how to construct prayers using scripture and backs up her teachings with lessons from the Bible that might surprise you. Prayer is not magic to Hasbrouck; it is law. Our lives reflect the power of our thoughts. To that end, she teaches how to use denials and affirmations with fill\-in\-the\-blank instructions so we can learn how to release worry and keep our thoughts elevated.\n\nPerfect for a class or book study.

Prayer Is Definitely Positive

Great read that will enhance your prayer life. I am glad that we studied this book in our Principles of Prayer class.

I don't necessarily agree with everything in this book but it is the best book on affirmative prayer that I have found
