This was an interesting book that tried to give readers a basis for regular prayer. Included in the book are thought-provoking pictures accompanying the short prayers, and some interesting stories that highlight the power of prayer.

Sadly not a book for me. I can see if you are someone who wants to add a 'spiritual' dimension to your life and enjoy meditating, this could be of benefit. But as a committed Christian believer I didn't find this as helpful for my relationship with God. Might suit others though...

I was drawn to this book because I have been a fan of Scott Erickson's artwork for many years. His artwork pairs wonderfully with Justin McRoberts's writing to create a beautiful book. It is comprised of short prayers with thought-provoking accompanying images, interspersed with meditations and practices. 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.

This book of Prayer is very different from your usual devotional book. Prayer: 40 Days of Practice takes you out of the typical prayer and works on getting your spiritual siding moving.
Think of this book like a writing prompt book: it gives you a jumping point and then you dive in. The book includes drawings, quotes, short essays and practice suggestions.
I found this book very refreshing and it absolutely took me to other places to talk with God and to think through my life.

I received this book today-thank you Netgalley. It was so good I finished it today and can't wait to purchase a hardcopy in February. I will admit that I started the book with a bit of skepticism. I don't know the authors and am wary of false prophets who pontificate all sorts of silliness. But the author intro grabbed my attention, the format was appealing and before I knew it I was done with the book. I plan to reread it, more slowly, allowing the meditations to settle into my soul. This is a book to keep, to share, and to talk about.
