Rest in wisdom

Tue, 2 Feb 2021 | Review by: Kelly H.

Dr. Tony Evans has created a collection of 55 prayers in “Prayers for Knowing God.” Each prayer begins with verses of Scripture around which it centres. These focus on characteristics of God, His Holiness, His Forgiveness, His Mercy, His Grace and so one. Structured around A.C.T.S. (Adoration. Confession. Thanksgiving. Supplication.), it is designed to balance the reader’s prayer pattern, to remind one to praise even one wants to ask, to thank and confess. It is a call to share everything with God whilst fully appreciating everything God is. These guided prayers allow the reader to rest in the wisdom of Scripture and Dr. Tony Evans. His wording of these prayers remind me of the Psalms and brought me such comfort. They reminded me to be gentler with myself and of how big and wide the character of God is. Tony prays braver prayers than I naturally would such as: “Give me a greater dependence on You to lead me and guide me, because in Your infinite awareness, You know which way I should go.” - From “Prayers for Knowing God” by Tony Evans His “Confess” prayers highlight parts of me I don’t often think about such as: “Father, You are near, yet I push You away so very often. You are a caring Father—in fact, You are a perfect Father. And yet I project human frailty and failings onto You in Your role, causing me to doubt You and guard myself from getting too close to You.” - From “Prayers for Knowing God” by Tony Evans And he words of adoration and supplication are lyrical and inspiring. This is one book I’d love to have in hard copy, to return to and highlight. Throughout the book, Tony’s confidence in God shines and in the storm of COVID-19, I have found reassurance and empathy in these pages. However, if you don’t enjoy formulaic prayers, this one may not be for you. It’s a five out of five on the enJOYment scale and highly recommended!

Not what I expected

Sat, 6 Feb 2021 | Review by: Karren H.

I think there was gap between my understanding of what this book would offer and what I read in the book. There is a phrase used 'word for word' that I missed, but is perhaps the essence of the book. Each prayer follows the framework ACTS: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication, This formality in prayer was just not resonate with me. I'm sure there will be others who will enjoy meditating on the content of each prayer and will achieve a deeper connection as a result of this guidance. My thanks to Harvest House Publishers, Netgalley and the author for my advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
