Prayer, Hearing God & Scriptural

The 40 Day Prayer Challenge - Unlocking the Power of Partnered Prayer

A guide for how to pray with your spouse or other prayer partner. My husband and I did this together, and some rich blessings came from it. I've also recommended it to people who are not accustomed to praying aloud with others and would like a step-by-step “how to” guide.

The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears

My husband and I both read this book and have put its premise of “praying circles around” our family’s needs, hopes, and life issues into practice. It’s putting your faith in action! This book took my prayer life to a whole new level.

God’s Creative Power - Gift Collection

Scripture says it, and it’s true — There is death and life in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). A friend recommended this book to me several years ago, and I often carry it in my purse so I can pull it out and speak aloud verses in my car, whenever I’m faced with situations that need the SWORD of God’s spoken word!

Translating God

I’ve learned much about the prophetic (a realm of study that was previously unknown to me) through Shawn Bolz and his ministry. This is one of my favorites by him.

AWAKEN Devotional

I LOVE this devotional book by Priscilla Shirer.  It has a beautiful velvet cover, and each day’s reading is followed by blank pages to write down your thoughts, or what you feel God speaking to you.  It’s a beautiful gift to give yourself AND to someone else!

THE POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE, by Stormie Omartian

There are lots of great books out there about how to pray for your husband and marriage, but this one is dear to my heart because it is what first introduced me to just how powerful PRAYER is. It’s a great place to start!

THE POWER OF A PRAYING PARENT, by Stormie Omartian

One of many great reSOURCEs out there providing guidance on how to pray for your children. I have many in my library of books, and I refer to them often!

PRAYING CIRCLES AROUND THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN, Mark Batterson

One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is keeping them constantly covered in prayer. As author Mark Batterson says, "you can leave a legacy for generations to come. Your prayers have the power to shape the destiny of your children and your children's children”

PRAYING CIRCLES AROUND YOUR MARRIAGE, Schmidgall/Batterson

This book covers 7 key prayer circles for your marriage: Vision Circle, Romance Circle, War Circle, Dance Circle, Support Circle, Storm Circle, and Legacy Circle. Another great tool for bringing the power of prayer into your marriage!

The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting

The praying believer is the confident believer. But the fasting believer is the overcoming believer. This book will inspire you to tap into God's power and change your life, your city, and your nation!

Prayer of Jabez

This little book about the timeless prayer of “an overlooked hero of faith” (1 Chronicles 4:10) releases blessings of expansion our Father in Heaven wants to give us. It begins an EXPERIENCE of stretching beyond what you believe you are capable of with God’s equipping. I recommend getting the updated (blue cover) version, which includes a guide for doing the process with a prayer partner or friend. More information about this is shared in a guest Q&A blog on the God and My Girlfriends page of this website.

Accessing the Courts of Heaven

What does it mean to make your case in the “courts of Heaven?”  The Bible says the enemy “accuses them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:10b), and I wanted to have more understanding about this.
