“Seven Secrets to Power Praying” by Jane Glenchur

This is a great book that is easy to read and gives some very good suggestions about praying.  The author is a Christian, a wife, a mom and spent eight years as a practicing physician.  At the urging of God, she gave up her practice, and her family’s guaranteed financial freedom, to follow a new path.  This book explains how she heard from God clearly enough to change careers.

Dr. Glenchur states that using her suggestions has brought her into a very close relationship with God, and that she can hear His voice.  She emphasizes that anyone can have the kind of relationship with God that she does.  The author gives very interesting examples from her own life.  Dr. Glenchur includes instances when she did follow what God told her, and times when she did not.  She includes what happened when she did, or did not, heed God’s direction.

The book is divided into three sections.  The first part, “Partnering with God,” helps the reader get their heart and mind ready for a new experience.  The second part, “Applying the Seven Secrets to Power Praying,” explains the steps and uses them to enhance one’s prayer life.  The third part, “Stepping Up to the Next Level,” contains more details of putting these steps into action.  There is also some discussion of potential road blocks that could be encountered, as well as, possible solutions.

I really liked this book, and enjoyed the author’s easy way of writing.  Reading this book felt like I was talking with a good friend.  I believe she gives very practical advice about how to improve prayer life, along with enriching your connection with God.  Her ideas are easily incorporated into the reader’s daily walk with the Almighty.  Dr. Glenchur was very transparent with examples she gave from her own life, and that made her suggestions very authentic.  The author also gave advice to consider when prayers aren’t answered.  I think anyone who wants to experience more of what God has for their life, and a deeper relationship with Him should read this five-star book.

The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through Chosen Books and Bethany House Publishing for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I have not been compensated in any other manner. Despite my receiving the book free, it has not influenced my judgment, and I have given an honest opinion.
