Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease)
March 24, 2010 - Freelance writer, speaker and author Julie B Cosgrove recently led a three day retreat on the subject of praying. A book based on the content of that retreat is now available in paperback or E-book format.
P.R.A.Y.I.N.G.: Bringing Power and Purpose to Your Prayers is divided into eight sections with discussion and reflective questions at the end of each. Perfect for either an individual or group study, Julie B Cosgrove's 100 page book is a Biblically based yet contemporary look at how we should pray and why. This author's conversational style is easy to follow, thought provoking and often humorous. She makes the reader feels comfortable, as if they were sharing thoughts and tea together at the kitchen table. Her theology is sound without being boring or overbearing.
The power in praying, according to the book, is found in the letters and order of the word: Praise, Recounting God's blessings, Atonement, Yielding to God's will, Interceding for others, expressing your own Needs, then giving God the Glory. It also examines what prayer is, why we should pray for each other, why our prayers seem to go unanswered and ways famous people in the Bible prayed that can serve as an example.
Well worth the read, this book on praying won't sit on your bookshelf collecting dust. It is a book to revisit whenever you need a boost in your prayer life, and one you'll want to pass on to your friends.
You may order P.R.A.Y.I.N.G. through the author's website www.juliebcosgrove.com, Lulu.com (in either e-Book or paperback)or Amazon.com. Julie's writings can also be found at http://www.thechristianwoman.com/blog.
