Sit tuviera que resumir este libro me quedo con este verso: ¨orando en todo tiempo con toda oración y súplica en el Espíritu, y velando en ello con toda perseverancia y súplica por todos los santos¨Efesios 6: 18. Ilustra maravillosamente todo lo que la autora quiere expresar.
Este libro es bueno para quien no tiene una vida de oración establecida, para quien tiene poco conocimiento sobre lo que dice la Biblia sobre la oración y para quien quiere dar los primeros pasos en crear el hábito de oración por si misma y por los demás.

Super recomendado.

Another awesome book by Elizabeth George! She really brings the reader into the Word of God, so it is God telling you the truth, not her. She does an excellent job of bringing the Bible and great heroes of the faith into her book as truths, illustrations, and inspirations. I have been encouraged to pray more, and have already seen results!

I found it encouraging, and I got some stuff out of it. I did find it distracting and kind of annoying when Elizabeth George keep starting sentences saying "Dear one," ,"Beloved", "Young one," and a few others. It made me loose my focus on what I was reading. I might read this again, but I hope there is a better one out there. I rate this book 3.8 stars.
