Amen: Collected Prayers and Hymns for the Journey

A friend gave me this collection of prayers for my birthday and I love it! I have been a Christian for 33 years but the way I connect to God is through His Word so this book has been wonderful to help me grow in connecting through prayer. So many of the prayers are beautiful and I could have never expressed myself as the writers but I have begun to take some of them and use them as a springboard to make them my own prayers. I am so grateful as I could have never collected the various prayers and put them in an usable form such as this. It really is amazing! I have sent one to a friend as well as showed it to my sister and she was so excited as she has been looking for a book like this. Thank you so much for this incredible compilation! I highly, highly recommend it!

I love this little book of prayers, I take it with me everywhere! I was so surprised to find a prayer titled "Patrick's prayer" without hesitation, I took a picture of it and text it to my son, you see, my son's name is Patrick, and he text me right away and said that's exactly what kind of prayer he needed at that moment. I told him to learn it by heart, and make it his own. It is the first thing that I read in the morning, before my quiet time, and the last thing before I go to sleep, and throughout the day. Very convenient, I do like it a lot!

This has given my prayer time a boost I highly recommend it for a change of pace and grateful for these prayers that give me the language to express my heart and soul. Well Done!

This is my first written prayer book and I like it a lot. It is very inspiring. It is the perfect size to carry around and it's well made.

I admit I’ve used other people’s written prayers (and hymns) often during my 30-year Christian journey. Many, many people have walked with God before me, experiencing my troubles and sufferings and joys, but also many I have not, nor will ever experience. Whether it be Bonhoeffer, Tozer, Spurgeon, Kempis, Augustine or the Psalmist, there are so many godly perspectives and devoted hearts to learn from, to be inspired by; to help me speak to (and with?) my Father more clearly, with increasing trust and love.
I appreciate that the prayers/hymns are organized by theme (e.g., “Security and Guidance”, “Aging and Death”, “Intercession”). Candidly, I was put off at first by the price. But the book size, roughly 4 inches by 6 inches, fits easily into a carry bag (or purse), and even my jeans back pocket. And important to me, it will wear well (last longer); it is leather bound, with a binding that is smyth-sewn rather than glued.
I highly recommend it!
