Title: Get Real!
Review: This book does a job of portraying prayer for exactly what it is: an expression of yourself to God. It encourages us to drop the pretenses and to be our real selves with the Father. Now, that's a pretty liberating concept!The book is presented in three parts: 1) Praying with Your Hurts 2) Praying with Your Sinfulness and 3) Praying with Your Misfortunes, Fears and Frustrations. Each section breaks these categories down even further into specific areas and shows us how we often allow the very things we want and need to deal with and prayer to become the stumbling blocks that keep us from prayer.The author is obviously writing not only from inspired knowledge, but from having been down the road of "getting real" in her own prayer and spiritual life. I found it encouraging and uplifting as well as a helpful aid in stripping away the unrecognized insincerity that is so often present in our relationship with God.
