Joy of Heaven

Title: Joy of Heaven: Prayers of the Revivals

Author: Robert Elmer

Source: Baker Books

My Review:

What a powerful book. Think of the great revivals and the prayers that were prayed. Prayers by John and Charles Wesley, Charles and Susannah Spurgeon, George Müller, Amy Carmichael, D. L. Moody, and so many more spiritual giants. Then, imagine having those prayers in your hand. That is what this book comprises.

Focus

Title: Focus: How One Word a Week Will Transform Your Life

Author: Cleere Cherry Reaves

Source: own

My Review:

In theory, you will read one word a week. The reality for me is that it didn't work. I wouldn't remember to read it, or I would forget the word for the week. Plus, I have determined, I do not like year-long books. I don't like to be in the same book for that long. I know, it's my problem, but it is also making it harder to read books like this as they were intended.
