We
Christians know we are to praise God. Sometimes it is hard to know
how to do that, much less establish a habit of daily praise. This
book provides thirty days of already created praise statements. Each
day also includes a lesson from Harling, a song or two for listening,
a prayer reflecting that day's praise topic, and a thought provoking
suggestion for journaling.
In
addition to the days of devotions, Harling has added good resources
to continue the habit of praising God. Many passages from the Psalms
are listed in one section. Another gives suggestions from the book of
Revelation. She also has information for praising God with specific
intent, such as defeating the enemy or when you are grieving or feel
depressed.
I
like the material in this book. I appreciate the many attributes for
which we can praise God. Some of the praise suggestions were a
surprise to me, giving me a much broader idea of what it means to
praise God consistently. This is a good book for anyone who would
like to establish the daily habit of praise.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
