Don't Just Read About Jesus; Pray Directly to Him


Immediately after I eyed this book, I knew I would love it. The topic is spot-on, but it's also a book I am apt to pick up and leave out on a table.

Even the beautiful glittering golf leaf design and soft blue cover evokes a peace and calm that helped me get in the mood for reading this. Plus, it's the perfect size for carrying places - Bible study, prayer time, a walk outdoors - and the hard cover makes it durable enough to do these things.

This book is not meant to be read cover-to-cover so much as flipped through, pondered over, and prayed about. No matter what you are going through or feeling, there is a prayer relating to your circumstance in this book to get you connected to Jesus.

The book has many different topics to read through, depending on how you are feeling. Each subject starts with "Jesus, I Need You/Your" and ends with topics like Comfort, Wisdom, When I Feel Heartache, Grace, and more. Each prayer is written out for you to read out loud with others or inside your heart. After the prayer is a related Bible verse, and then a thought-provoking question and room for a written response. There is extra room at the end of each topic for personal reflection (blank lined pages).

I love the interactive nature of this book, but also the prompt to not just read about Jesus but pray directly to him. I can immediately think of several of my friends who would love this book and I think I will pick up a few copies for them!
