Today's blog is a book recommendation from a friend of The Vine, Elaine. She is a pastor's wife that lives on the coast here in South Africa. She trained to be a teacher and enjoys a good game of Scrabble. In fact, I know from personal experience that she's devastatingly brilliant at it.
She highly recommends Stormie Omartian's book The Power of Praying Through the Bible. Stormie is a prolific writer around the subject of prayer. She says her first goal when she writes is to help people come to know God and His love in a deep way and grow daily in relationship with Him. You can read her God-story here.
Elaine says that she has been really blessed by working through this book and encourages us to consider it as a gift for others, too.
You can see a sample of the book on Google Books. Stormie's books are the kind that you read within your quiet time with God day by day. She's transparent and real. She often adds stories from her life that make what she's saying applicable to your own life.
"Stormie journeys with readers from Genesis to Revelation and reveals how God designed prayer so that they can:
communicate with Him
embrace the promises of Scripture
release burdens to God’s care
walk with Jesus daily
listen to the Spirit’s leading
Stormie brings home the truths and the wonder of God’s promises. This gathering of devotions from The Power of a Praying Woman Bible shares Stormie’s heart and the foundation of God’s Word to provide a source of spiritual encouragement and strength for every reader."
