I know this is meant to be a forty day devotion, but I read it one sitting. The way it is written is so simple and beautiful and inspiring. I intend to go through it again for the forty day process but the first time I picked it up I couldn't put it down.

I read this yesterday and today for Good Friday, and to think deeply about what this Saturday felt like for believers those thousands of years ago. In the midst of the sorrow of these 2 days of Holy Week, this book offered some great prayers to point us toward the grace & goodness Jesus has for us and wants to give us! Such a good reminder of the redeeming power of Christ & the beauty of prayer.

I was drawn to this book because I have been a fan of Scott Erickson's artwork for many years. His art pairs wonderfully with Justin McRoberts' writing to create a beautiful book. It is comprised of short prayers with thought-provoking accompanying images, interspersed with reflections on the Lord's Prayer. I enjoyed reading this ebook, but cannot wait for the physical book to be released. It is definitely a book to read in its physical form so that you can see the two-page spread of prayer and image concurrently. It is a book you can return to in your daily personal prayers, and I am also looking forward to reading it with my Bible study group.

I received a digital ARC from NetGalley. It will be released on September 24, 2019.

It's a quick read. Four of the prayers have stuck with me and I have recorded them into my commonplace book.

"May I offer help far more readily and joyfully than I offer criticism"

"May I learn to offer my whole self as a gift to those around me rather than leverage my gifts for personal gain"

"May I never let my fear of being afraid keep me from facing darkness in or around me"

"May I have room for guilt to convict me without letting shame define me"


*I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from NetGalley and WaterBrook.*

A really unique way to view and pray The Lord’s Prayer. This is a quick and simple read, but it’s packed with insight and inspiration on how we should pray.
