- Through the years, I have read a lot of books about prayer. I would recommend PEARLS: 5 ESSENTIALS FOR A RICHER PRAYER LIFE as a helpful book for those who want a deeper and more effective prayer life. This book would also be a great resource for those asking, "How do I know what to pray?" PEARLS has some new and interesting insights, inspirational illustrations, and good practical help for application.
- I don't know what I was expecting, maybe the same old thing, but was pleasantly surprised at the 'pearls of wisdom' contained within the pages. The book is very well written, great biblical references and a simple exercise at the end of each chapter to reinforce what you just read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who might need to renew their prayer life or even just refresh it.

Full Description
Imagine opening a jewelry box. As you carefully raise the lid, the most beautiful music you have ever heard begins to play. Peering inside, you see precious gemstones surrounding a polished strand of pearls against a black velvet lining. This isnt just any jewelry box. Its your spiritual jewelry box. Pearls are the foundational piece placed in our spiritual jewelry box. When you dont know what to pray, dont know how to pray, and dont even want to pray, you can open your jewelry box and pull out Pearls.
In the same way an oyster covers an irritant in its shell with a substance called nacre, producing a pearl, we can coat the issues in our lives with the nacre of prayer and also produce pearls. Pearls outlines five essentials for a richer prayer life, focusing on how Jesus words, it is better to give than to receive, relate to prayer. These words are often related to our money, our time, or our service. Pearls takes a step further and shows how giving to God through prayer in five areas enriches your prayer life and draws you into a closer relationship with Him.
Pearls is about praying. It provides a fresh look at a subject that will never grow old.
