Family Prayer Made Easy By Teresa Herbic



Today's families are busy. Every morning, parents and children head out for a day full of school, work, sports, music lessons, church activities, and more. We return home, often tuning into television, computers, and technology, and tuning each other out! What would happen if we paused, as families, in the middle of packed schedules to seek the most important avenue of help and assurance available? What would happen if we stopped to pray?

Family Prayer Made Easy is a practical guide for praying together as a family in just ten focused devotions. Together, the family can seek God in Scripture–based, Spirit–driven, action–packed, answer–delivering prayers. It includes simple ways to come together in prayer, stories to share with children of all ages, Scriptures on prayer and God's promises, and 100 interactive ideas for prayer and family worship.

Whether used once a week for ten weeks or once a day for ten days, these prayers and prayer activities will guide the family into powerful, consistent, inclusive prayer, with resources for years to come.

A rather interesting read. Although still not sure about this one. I am all for anything that will get people to pray and pray together. The idea a family needing a book to learn how to prayer together is a neat idea for new Christians I guess. It would be a helpful guide for new converts.
The interactive prayers are a nice touch.
I like the scripture guides in each chapter as well.
All in All this would be a must have for new families how are just learning to pray.
I gave this book 3.5 stars. This is a good book for new Christian families.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  10. This sounds like a wonderful book to read, especially for new Christians who are seeking more of God. I know that when I became a Christian, I really didn't know how to pray, so this would make a wonderful book for new converts. Thank you so much Mary for all of your reviews!

  11. Thanks so much Shinyhalo316 - wishing you great joy and many blessings! I believe this book can be used by anyone seeking God's answers in prayer and drawing our families together in a more united way. Some of our readers who have read the book as a family have been Christians for a long while and have found it a way to connect even stronger. I pray blessings over each of you, Precious Readers :-)
    Thank you,
    Teresa
