This is an excellent book to guide your prayers for America, especially in its 250th year. There are a variety of authors who contribute to this book, including famous Americans. Yet the tone is seamless in its fervency for the United States to return to its faith-based roots and values. I read the digital version and enjoyed it so much that I will be ordering the hard copy so I can reference it often as a reminder to pray for my beloved country.

Americans Who Pray is filled with beautiful, meaningful, powerful prayers for our nation.

With prayers offered by former presidents (including but not limited to Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Ronald Reagan), and notables such as Ben Carson, Victoria Jackson, Janet Parshall, and Kevin Sorbo, this rich resource is a who's who of patriotic believers nationwide who know how to pray.

Just a couple of the prayers I especially enjoyed were Abraham Lincoln's prayer for the judicial system and judges of the United States of America, and Janet Parshall's prayer for firefighters.

As the author of three prayer-filled books myself, I highly recommend this meaningful book. It's worthy of a place in every American home.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing this book for my review.
