Phil Wickham’s enthusiasm for Scripture and prayer is infectious! Each devotion read like a letter to a friend and encouraged me to pause and seek the Lord! My Full Video ReviewPhil Wickham starts at Genesis and writes devotions based on 40 stories from God’s Word until he reaches the Revelation。 He gives you a larger passage of Scripture to read on your own, then shares a zoomed-in passage that inspires the day’s reading。 The tone of this book is welcoming and uplifting。 Phil Wickham is a highl Phil Wickham’s enthusiasm for Scripture and prayer is infectious! Each devotion read like a letter to a friend and encouraged me to pause and seek the Lord! My Full Video ReviewPhil Wickham starts at Genesis and writes devotions based on 40 stories from God’s Word until he reaches the Revelation。 He gives you a larger passage of Scripture to read on your own, then shares a zoomed-in passage that inspires the day’s reading。 The tone of this book is welcoming and uplifting。 Phil Wickham is a highly accomplished musician, yet he humbly shares where he has fallen short and what he’s learned about prayer。 This makes each day relatable and encouraging。The Scripture based prayers are beautiful。 Where this devotional shines above all others is through the “Prayer Practice” and “Prayer Reflections”。 Phil Wickham gives readers simple, yet powerful challenges to take the next step in what they’ve learned。 This often includes journalling prompts and reaching out to church family。 The questions for reflection are thought provoking and inspire action。This would be a wonderful book to read with a mentor。 The daily meditations and questions would bring up life changing conversation! The Spirit moved mightily as I read this book。 As I was reading a day’s reading, a friend came to mind immediately。 I connected with her and read the devotion to her; she wept and told me how much it had transformed her。 God is so good!Highly recommend this book! 。。。more

The actual information and advice about prayer here is solid and Biblical, but it doesn't say anything in a new or exciting way。 The entries are short, thankfully, but are also a bit repetitive。 The most frustrating thing about this book, though, is that it spent too much time reminding us that Wickham has a successful career, a wife, children, and overall, a happy and comfortablemiddle-class existence。 He vaguely mentions things like, "I have problems in my life I have to pray about, too。" But The actual information and advice about prayer here is solid and Biblical, but it doesn't say anything in a new or exciting way。 The entries are short, thankfully, but are also a bit repetitive。 The most frustrating thing about this book, though, is that it spent too much time reminding us that Wickham has a successful career, a wife, children, and overall, a happy and comfortablemiddle-class existence。 He vaguely mentions things like, "I have problems in my life I have to pray about, too。" But he seems to have lived a pretty charmed life so far。 I realize it's not quite fair to compare prayers and all that, but I fail to see how someone who has dealt with truly serious, challenging situations in life, or people who have prayed for 20+ years without answers, etc。, will be encouraged by this。 I found it actively discouraging, and while I tried to give Wickham the benefit of the doubt going in, by halfway through, I just wanted this to be over。Note: Over 50 pages here are blank for "notes。" If you're not someone who writes in your books, this is just a waste of paper。I received a temporary copy of this ebook from the author/publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more

This book is so incredible! Learning so much about how and what prayer looks like from a Biblical and personal perspective!

The words on the pages resonates and draws me in。 I’m feeling a cultivating and a drawing closer。 Hard to sit it down but Phil leaves you with questions to mulch on。 I know this book will draw you closer as well and open your eyes to the grace of our Father。

This is the first Christian book ive ever read, mainlybecause I just haven't gotten around to it。 I rated it 4 stars because I wasn't entirely moved by it, but I did see it as a good guide for anyone who needs it。 I don't think anything could ever replace the Bible, but sometimes it can be hard to find methods to praying, etc。 So I think this book by @philwickham is a fair resource for encouragement andinformation when finding your own method of praying。 This is the first Christian book ive ever read, mainlybecause I just haven't gotten around to it。 I rated it 4 stars because I wasn't entirely moved by it, but I did see it as a good guide for anyone who needs it。 I don't think anything could ever replace the Bible, but sometimes it can be hard to find methods to praying, etc。 So I think this book by @philwickham is a fair resource for encouragement andinformation when finding your own method of praying。 。。。more
