Bible Prayers: NEW! the Book of Bible Prayers

Bible Prayers: NEW! the Book of Bible Prayers: After decades of researching what the Bible has to say about prayer and buying a bunch of prayer books that weren’t quite what I wanted, I felt led to collect the actual prayers in the Bible then prayer-a-phrase (prayerfully paraphrase) them into THE prayer book I personally want and need. If you do, too, you’ll be happy to know  the Book of Bible Prayers  is now available on Amazon. 

For more information and regular glimpses, Lord willing, of the prayers, click the hotlink at the top to take you to the Bible Prayers site.

He brought calmto the terrorized planes.
The Twin Towers came downaround Him, 
holdingyour husband, your wife, your child.
