I've been reading a page or two of this book daily and I love it. It has really motivated me as a writer, and also inspired me with new ways to pray for my writing. Not only are there beautiful prayers for all stages of the writing journey, but there are also wonderful Scriptures and quotes from renowned Christian writers interwoven throughout. I especially loved that each section ends with space to answer a few journaling questions, to help you reflect on and record your own writing and prayer journey.
