I enjoyed reading this book and applying the prayer points to my life. Several things kept these points in focus for me including: 1) the simplicity, yet not overly simplistic; 2) references and direct application to scriptures and 3) the tangible on point usefulness.
I will use it over and over again (as a reference)
I like the prayers and the idea of this book but I didn't like that it is a "31 day" devotional. There are several more after the 31 and the book has at least one chapter before it. I would just call it a "daily devotional" instead. I thought it was a little misleading.
This is a very interesting approach to prayer. The teaching chapters are very good. They would make a great small group study. Following those, are chapters designed to be a daily prayer guide. Some of these daily prayers would be good for a one day use. However, there are many chapters that would be better broken down to serve the course over 3 to 5 days. It would then be more manageable, more effective, and easier for every level of pray-er.
