This book is simply not ready for an audience. It has not been proofed, nor edited. The grammar is painfully bad, as is the punctuation. Spelling errors abound - places where "trails" should be "trials" or "predicated" should read "predicted." The author doesn't even bother to correctly spell the names of Biblical characters, whose stories she takes enormous liberties with. It frankly scares me that her background is in teaching English.Beyond that, there's no content to this book. There is absolutely nothing substantial in it, nothing memorable, nothing even unique. It is not about prayer. It is not really about God. It is simply words, and the author is hoping you will ascribe your own meaning to it because she provides absolutely zero. It reads like the blog of a fifteen-year-old girl who loves God and thinks she knows something but demonstrates clearly she has no practical real-world experience nor knowledge of what life is really like.I love books on prayer, and I read every word of this one because I snagged a free copy in exchange for a review. Even poorly-written books can sometimes provide a little sliver of wisdom. Unfortunately, not this one. It's just not a book that's ready for publication.
