Shirley Dobson knows more than anyone else about mobilizing groups and individuals to pray effectively. In her new release, Certain Peace in Uncertain Times, the National Day of Prayer Task Force Chairman teaches readers to Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield -- nurturing a true and lasting lifestyle of prayer. This memorable, biblically sound resource will motivate and encourage everyone to communicate daily with God. End result: Christians around the world praying as one -- not because they ought to, but because they want to!
I have to say that I was not impressed with this book. The four-step approach to prayer is nothing that cannot be figured out on your own, if you had enough common sense. Dobson gives her own opinions (keyword - opinion), uses stories from her life (which she states God influenced, but there is mother's intuition as well) but she does turn to past and present theologians and explain what they say.
I do like the 31-day devotionals. At the end of each day is a P.R.A.Y. for Today to help you along your journey of how to pray for those who question how and what to say. And what is nice is that the book is the book is the size of your hand so it will not take up too much space on your nightstand for 31 days.
