The
quotes come from a variety of people. Some are contemporary Christian
authors, like Max Lucado and Bill Johnson. Some are people noted in
history, such as Blaise Pascal and Martin Luther. There are many
people quoted that I have never heard of.
Shorter
has included several articles at the end of the collection of quotes.
The articles are very helpful to anyone wanting encouragement in
their prayer life. He has tips to a better prayer life, ways to find
God, and ways to effectively pray for others. He has also included
great prayer lists, with suggestions in praying for your husband,
wife, kids, marriage, and pastor.
This
is not the kind of book one would read cover to cover. One could look
at the subject headings at the beginning of the book and find quotes
in the area of interest. I did not find the quotes as inspiring as
the articles by the author.
You
can watch a video about the book here.
You
can find his prayer quotes on Pinterest.
You
can find out about Shorter's ministry to teenage orphan girls in
Asia, called Josiah's Covenant, here. You can watch a video about Josiah's Farm here.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
