This was such a positive reminder of the power of prayer. It was a nice reset to shaping my heart and mind to where it needs to be when I pray. I recommend working through this book over many days to truly let it shape your heart and mind. Cannot wait to share with others!

A really lovely guide walking the reader through the Christian meditative practice of lectio divina. The author selects scriptures and outlines a process in this devotional-like format, so each day you can immerse yourself in reflection on scripture. Perfect for Christians that want to incorporate a contemplative/meditation practice into their day while still staying wholely within their faith tradition. I own and love the author's first book, "Breath Prayers" and often incorporate the reflections and mindful breathing in it into my end-of-the-day routine.

I feel that "Breath Prayers may be more accessible if you aren't super "churchy" but do find comfort in scripture, and "Present In Prayer" may be better for those with a more traditional faith walk. Both books are filled with beautiful illustrations and very clear reassurances and descriptions of these practices so devout Christians can feel comfortable using mindfulness and meditation techniques and secure that they are not treading into "New Age" or Eastern meditation practices. Great devotional books for anyone who finds value in scripture and Christian teachings.

Oh, the times I have struggled to stay focused during times of Bible study. So many earthly interruptions...the tv in the background, the phone ringing, the dryer buzzer going off, the dog barking,..... Present in Prayer by Jennifer Tucker delves into ways to stay focused, to eliminate the distractions, and have a peaceful Biblical meditation.

Releases Nov 12th. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

Present in Prayer: A Guided Invitation to Peace Through Biblical Meditation by Jennifer Tucker is the author’s latest devotional. I absolutely loved her book Breath as Prayer. This book is just as good, focused on what it means to be experience God’s peace. I cannot wait for this book to release so I can by a hard copy. It’s well worth the purchase. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

This book was such a beautiful book from start to finish. I was just so touched by the words, and the encouragement. It was wonderfully done

I loved this introduction to the practice of lectio divina--guided meditation on Scripture. Includes 30 meditations to help bring calm while focusing on God's word. A wonderful resource to boost one's faith.
