I finally finished this book. ever since i actually started my blog and put “Books I’m reading” and “books I’ve read” on it, it has really motivated me to read more. Last week i finished reading this book by Dave Early and decided to make a VERY quick book review on it. By no means am I a professional critic of any sort but I just want to let you all know about my thoughts on books I’ve read. So here we go for my first book review!

First of all i want to start to say this. I have had the chance to speak to Dave Early personally about 2 years ago as we had Him up for our Apex Leaders Retreat at Jackson’s Point. When Dave came back to our church that Sunday He actually preached from this very book. What i find actually truly interesting regarding Dave is that the way He writes is the exact same way he speaks. Me, on the other hand, sound a lot smarter in writing then in person… (Thank God for spell check Ha Ha.)

In His book, Dave takes you through 21 different prayers that were prayed by different people in the Bible for different reasons but yet, were all answered. This book really spoke to me because just about every single one of those 21 prayers had to do with either something, I’ve gone through or am going through. One thing i really liked about reading this book is that the second i was done a chapter i was ready and able to already apply what i just read in my life. From “Lord, save me”, to “Lord, Send Me”, i was able to use it right away in my life. He makes it really easy for us, simple people, to relate to such great prayers.

Out of 10 i would definitely give this book a 8. Personally I had a hard time to stay focused while reading it but then again that might just be my A.D.D. Ha Ha. I would definitely recommend this book as a great tool to help you either get started to pray or if you need ideas on how to pray or what to pray for. Sometimes you are faced with certain challenges in your life and just have no clue how to tackle it, well this is the tool for you!

i know this is not much of a review, but these are my thoughts
