This
is by far the best devotional I read this year. Scotty lists a
portion of Scripture, usually several verses, then he records his
prayer revolving around the passage. His prayers are so honest …
and so convicting. These are prayers from his heart. Sometimes they
are praise. Sometimes they are a lament. But they are always written
with such honesty they will go right to your own heart.
This
book gave me a whole new understanding of what it means to “pray
the Scripture.” It will be the standard with which I read all
others on the topic. Reading his prayers gives much insight on how to
read and then reflect on Scripture. It is almost as if Scotty is a
modern day psalmist.
I
highly recommend this devotional. It is one thing to read a book
about praying the Scripture. It is quite another to read the actual
prayers of one doing so. It will continue to move you year after year.
