Prayers That Change Things is a new book by an established writer of books on prayer, Lloyd B. Hildebrand, who co–authored the very popular Prayers That Prevail series, Bible Prayers for All Your Needs, Praying the Psalms, Healing Prayers, and several others.
This new book contains prayers about personal feelings and situations, prayers that are built directly from the Bible. You will discover that praying the Scriptures will truly bring about changes to so many things, especially your outlook on life and the circumstances of your life.
What happens when you pray these prayers? *Your faith increases *Your mind is renewed *God's perfect will is disclosed *Intimacy with God is cultivated *God's promises are believed and received *Things begin to change
These life–imparting, life–generating, life–giving, and life–sustaining prayers are sure to bring God's answers to meet your needs. Pray them from your heart, then wait for God to speak to you. Remember, He always speaks through His Word.
I recommend that you read all the chapters in the beginning and in the end before you comb through the 54 prayers. This is what I call a beginners book for people that want to remind themselves how to pray by learning the beginning steps and meditation of it.
A very strange thing happened to me last night. I went to my store room and stumbled upon a plastic bag, I open it and saw there are 3 books in it, this book being one of it.
I have never bought any religious books in my life, I am not a Christian although I'm highly interested to become one and have been trying to reach out certain parties to know more since past 1 year.
I do have doubts in life - my boyfriend passed away more than a year ago and to be honest this is the main reason why I'm reaching out to Christianity. I do ask around how to pray. I do pray my own way. I do have 1001 questions.
And then this and 2 other similar books appeared just right in front of my nose.
I asked my sister if it's hers that's been left behind when she used to live with me for a while, she said no.
I can't think of anyone. And it's definitely not me who bought them.
I hope I'll have the determination to read this book from A to Z, and learn a thing or two.
Warning: this review written by a non-religious person.
Yuck. I was disturbed by how blatant the 'God will fix everything' message in this book is. Free will? Personal choice? Hard work? Garden variety luck? Who cares--God will give you everything you need. There are even prayers in here for ridding oneself of minor personality quirks, like 'defensiveness.' There's this thing for that, you know: therapy. Or good, old fashioned attempts to develop the self-esteem to avoid being a neurotic jerk.
Also? I couldn't help but notice that while the choice of scriptures in here is straight up fire-and-brimstone, fundamentalist dogma, there are also 'inspirational' quotes used by the author as a weak attempt to make the message here more mainstream (one of those quotes is from Albert Einstein.)
