A Review of "Your 100 Day Prayer"

     I just finished reading “Your 100 Day Prayer: The Transforming Power of Actively Waiting on God” by John Snyde, which I received as complimentary copy from BookSneeze.com The book is designed to help the reader pray specifically and consistently for 100 days regarding an issue of greater than average difficulty. The goal is to help the reader understand that God created us to pray, to help the reader see how God is present in prayer, and also help the reader grow closer to God during the waiting period.
  
   I can honestly say that this book transformed my prayer life. If you pray a great deal for others, but rarely for yourself, then I think you could really benefit from this book. Each day is numbered and contains a short, two page devotional with a relevant Scripture passage. This layout makes it easy to process information and get to the important part – prayer. Space is provided for you to journal your thoughts and progress.
     
Even while you use this book to pray for an issue in your life, Snyde consistently reminds you to pray for others and for God’s kingdom purposes. He also reminds you that God’s could answer “No” to your prayer, but that He is still good. Snyde offers Biblical advice related to accepting God’s will regardless of his answer to our prayer. The book helped me begin praying very specifically for exactly what I hope for, because God knows already, anyway. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to transform their personal prayer life, get serious about prayer for a specific issue, and/or see God at work in very specific ways.
