Heart's Cry: Principles of Prayer

by Jennifer Kennedy Dean

"As the recommended resource for the National Day of Prayer, Heart's Cry will help believers learn how to listen for God's answer to their deepest cry. Dean will uncover for readers the principles of heart-changing prayer. She will help believers see that the principles of prayer are not steps to making God do what they want. Instead, the principles show them that once a heart is given to God, He changes that heart as He sees fit. That knowledge frees believers to live fully in God's power. "

Dean has a great way of inviting us into a relationship with Christ. Heart's Cry takes you to a place of surrender by removing barriers of fear. Good read.

Jennifer Kennedy Dean knocked it out of the park again with this book on prayer. There are twelve chapters with great insight and thoughtful nuggets about prayer. For example we are told to pray without ceasing. Of course this is impossible but Dean sheds insight and encouragement understanding prayer is a relationship. She says, "Prayer is the unbroken flow of Christ's life in us that keeps us in the presence of God." Some of my favorite chapters were, A Clean Heart, In Everything Give Thanks, Stand in the Gap, and Be Still and Know.

I am sad she is no longer with us, but I love her writings and studies on prayer. So well done.

This is an amazing book! My mom lended it to me and she says she rereads it every year and I can tell why! It's a very good insight into prayer and brings a whole new personal perspective to it. As someone who often neglects prayer because I'm lazy or just feel like I'm nagging God I definitely am more eager to talk to Him after reading this book! Would 100% recommend! Oh, and if your looking to start a prayer group with friends or within your church it provides really helpful tips and instructions for that. I believe everything in this book was correct and didn't contradict Scripture. Happy reading! ❤
