| Whispers of Hope |
Today, rather than my usual fiction reviews, I’ve got a non-fiction/devotional
for you.
As always, let’s
begin with the summary:
Scripture tells us to
pray without ceasing, but how in the world do we do that? In fact, how should
we effectively pray to begin with?
Best-selling author Beth Moore addresses these practical and pervasive matters in Whispers of Hope by walking readers through an easy to remember and apply method of prayer, coupled with seventy daily devotionals and followed by prompts to put this prayer method into practice.
Indeed, Whispers of Hope teaches the manifestation process of powerful Word-saturated prayer in response to a daily Bible reading. In turn, you will better understand how devotional reading and prayer are central to a stronger relationship with God.

And now, my review:
I enjoy devotionals, especially if they’re set apart in some
way. The pages of this book are soft and the edges aren’t smooth—they’re rough
cut and jagged, but soft. I love that! The well-designed cover folds over to
use as a bookmark for a while. All of these make the experience more enjoyable.
Let’s talk about content. In the opening pages, Beth gives
an outline for a prayer model one can use throughout the book. Then, the end of
each chapter offers lined space for personal journal entries. I used my own
journal as I may want to share the book later and wouldn’t want to write in it,
but it’s a convenient option, if one wishes.
I respect Beth’s approach. That, just like in her teaching
style, she doesn’t sugarcoat her devotionals. One of her first devos was on
rebellion (the tower of Babel). I appreciate her candor. The Scriptures she
included were a thought-provoking launching spot. I didn’t follow her prayer
model because I don’t believe in formulaic prayer. I’d rather just commune with
God.
Hope. Who couldn’t use more hope in their lives? Folks who've done Beth's studies will appreciate her style here. If you're looking for a good devotional, check this one out!
