Murlee's Reviews > How to Pray

I am not sure where the author was going with this. I felt the author was a preachers who is very judgmental. The author felt the best thing to do is to pray 24/7. Some people have the gift for that, but majority of people do not. The author looked down on people who want to live their life, but still have an intimate relationship with GOD. I doubt GOD looks down upon me for going to the movies, for reading books that has nothing to do with religion, or for even making friends with people who do not believe the Christian principal of life. The book put me off in many ways. I felt I was being scolded for wanting to be me. This book is a great example of how to turn people off from getting to know GOD.
I have been fasting and praying for years. I know the 4 p's of prayer; Praise, Purify, Pray and Praise. I picked this book up to see if I can learn something knew to add to my prayer life, but this book took me in a different direction. The author also briefly discussed other none Christian ways; such as metaphysical life styles that people choose to learn about the supernatural. I do not agree with condemning other people for not looking at life through a Christian point of view. Everyone has a reason for doing what they do and judging them will not bring them closer to GOD.
The author does not give the reader ways to pray, or even the true deeper meaning of prayer. There was no list/ guidelines to teach the reader how to pray. There was no encouragement on the benefits of prayer, but just the fear of you need to pray and pray this prayer if you never prayed before.
