After all, Agur prayed "give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God." Proverbs 30:8b-9 I think, in context, the passage means more that when we make wealth, we should recognize that God gave us that ability, not that we're always going to be making wealth. The "He has given me the power to make wealth" prayer sounds like the prosperity gospel, or the health and wealth gospel than Christianity. But it might be a good reference to have on hand for such occasions. Not all of them pertain to me, or the situations we find ourselves in today. I'll confess that I didn't read all these prayers. They started out describing it a little slowly and gently, but they did a very good, very thorough job of it. It's of prime importance, and I like that they want others to know, rather than pretending that everyone who reads their prayer book knows that Jesus died for their sins. I love that they put the "Are You Sure?" section first, about being sure whether or not you are a Christian. I would rate some of the book 5's and other parts of the book 2's, and although there's no good way to average it all, I'll give it a 3, because I can't give it a solid recommendation. They are just praying wildly, and that makes me smile happily, even if they are perhaps a little uneducated as to the context of those scriptures.
But I don't think the authors are aware of it. Well, I don't want to end up nitpicking this book, but usually I do end up rating a book more lowly that falls into the same misinterpretations of scripture. I feel like their hearts are right before God, and that they are right on so many things, and yet, and yet. I love that the authors pray wholly-devoted-to-God prayers, that they jump in with both feet, so to speak. It has some powerful prayers in it, some good reminders of scripture, and praying for them, but it can also fall off into theological pitfalls from time to time.
This is such a wild book that I hardly know how to review it. Actually, she'd been about to mail it to me when she saw me. I'd asked who the author was over our Sunday School Zoom, and instead of answering, she came to give me a copy when she "happened" to see me out and about. She and her husband had a box of these books they wanted to give away. I didn't even recognize her, as covered as we were in our covid-19 masks. This is such a wild book that I hardly know A friend of mine waved me down in a parking lot to give me this book, and that makes me smile. moreĪ friend of mine waved me down in a parking lot to give me this book, and that makes me smile.
