I received this book from NetGallery.com for a honest review. Thank you, Netgalley.
I The Light of His Presence was beautifully written. I look forward to using it as a reference in the future. I am always so thankful that others find the words my heart feels and puts the words on paper. Thank you for allowing me to review.

The very first paragraph of the introduction of this book “The Light of His Presence” spoke directly to me as if as if I had told the author an area I struggle with and she said, “me too.” She then precedes to lay out guidelines on how she made changes in her prayer life.

I found myself highlighting so many of the prayers, sharing some of the prayers with hurting friends and writing different ones in my Bible so I see it again and again. In her prayers, Anne humbling confesses her fears, disappointments, times she failed and and then her praise and thanksgivings. This isn’t a book directed at the reader to change but instead illustrates us how she battled the same issues that we do. I enjoyed The Light of His Presence and am recommending the book to my family and friends.

Anne Graham Lotz was once called, "the best preacher in the family," by her father. Her writings show an intimacy with God that is enviable, but it is also achievable. The Light of His Presence is a book to aid the reader on the path to the same kind of intimacy she experiences.

The Light of His Presence contains prayers that fit various occasions we all encounter in life. These are not just prayers from the top of her head, but they are prayers steeped in scripture and show how God understands what the readers are going through. These are also prayers that help the reader focus on who God is and how much He loves us.

As Anne writes, “My prayer for you . . . is that God will use my struggle with prayer to help you overcome yours. And that, as a result, you will be drawn nearer to the heart of God.”

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a place near to the heart of God.
