This book was start to finish amazing! Just absolutely full of wonderfulness. I was so just touched by all of the amazing words! Such a great book.

A wonderful prayer guide focusing on 90 days following the author's six steps to enhance prayer. I can't wait to see how my prayer life strengthens as a result.

This is a beautiful journal. I like that it's only 90 days, so the commitment is small so I feel like anyone could devote their time and attention to it and build a deeper, prayerful practice. The questions are broad enough for each day, but also specific enough that you can continue to answer them each day. The verses that are included next to each question allow the journaler to really contemplate their thought even though the questions are repeated each day.

This journal can easily be used by any denomination of Christianity which is refreshing as I find many don't take into account Orthodox or Catholic denominations.

I really feel like this is a fantastic Christ-led journal that anyone wanting to dive deeper into their relationship with God would get a lot of value from.

Impressions: I found this book to bring reverence to my quiet time reading God’s Word. I think the book format was best read as a physical copy however I read this in a digital form. The book gave opportunity to learn and grow through aligning your heart and mind with the Lord and the Bible. I was pleased with the book and feel like this is an excellent gift idea. I look forward to having a paper back version on my book shelf for future rereading and reference.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

Sacred Prayer, 90 Days of Deeper Intimacy with God by Ann Voskamp is a journal by you and for you to create space for the sacred. Ann provides the opportunity to explore the rhythm of SACRED: stillness, attentiveness, cruciformity, revelation, examine, and doxology, but what you take away is entirely between you and your creator who loves you deeply. I love the image she provides early on that no great thing was created without putting paper to pen and what is greater than your own soul. Allow yourself the opportunity to explore and make space for Him. Thee journaling space provides a few lines, so you may want a separate journal to keep writing. I found the coloring and layout to simple and pleasing to the eye so that it was easy to focus on the content, not the design. Great journal for yourself or to gift to others.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for a free advanced copy of this ebook to review. All opinions are my own.

Inspiring, and insightful, Ann Voskamp asks some difficult questions throughout the source of this devotional. I look forward to continuing with this devotional for the rest of the 90 days.

Her quote about needing to cut your fears down to size or you get into bed with the devil really jumped out at me and forced me to realize that I have been letting my fear rule much of my life and mind.

I enjoyed reading through this devotional.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

This Devotional/Journaling experience will walk you through the S-A-C-R-E-D method.
✅Stillness to Know God
✅Attentiveness to Hear God
✅Cruciformity to Surrender to God
✅Revelation to See God
✅Examine to Return to God
✅Doxology to Worship God

This book discusses us living OUT our Faith and pressing into God, the giver of all Hope!

I have read a lot of devotionals already, but this one is by far the best. I really like how interactive this book is. There are written Bible verses, but you have to look for yourself. It encourages everyone that aside from devotional books, you still have to pick up and read the Bible. This is such a perfect guide for praying.

Ann Voskamp has done it again with her book Sacred Prayer, her writing style has always been beautiful and this book did not disappoint. This lovely guided prayer journal would make a great gift for the christian woman in your life. The prayer prompts are deep and insightful and will certainly be a blessing to your prayer life. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to others!

Sacred Prayer is 90 day journal from Ann Voskamp. It follows the idea of SACRED — Stillness, Attentiveness, Cruciformity, Revelation, Examine, Doxology. All of these words hold their own chapter or devotional, to open up these words more — what they can mean in our lives and how to live out these words. They encourage the reader to go deeper in their relationship with God.

This is a good journal for those who like journaling with prompts and feel like they make the most out of journaling with leading questions.

Ann Voskamp’s Sacred Prayer has come along at just the right time to guide my understanding of the word sacred. What is it that our hearts long for when we come to prayer? Her 90-day guided journal offers prompts for putting pen to paper and searching questions that move prayer away from a do-list for God and toward intimacy with a loving and involved Creator. Deep roots in scripture invite readers to pursue biblical responses to questions like, “What do I want today?”

If your goal is spiritual disciplines planted firmly in “sacred” space, consider Voskamp’s acronym for defining sacred prayer:

Stillness—We learn to know God as we wait for him in stillness.
Attentiveness—In prayer, we find grace for sifting the voice of God out of the noise.
Cruciformity—Our whole lives, surrendered to God, become cross-shaped, prayerful, sacred.
Revelation—As we meet with God in the quiet, he reveals himself through his Word.
Examine—Our thoughts return to God as we release fear and review the day in his presence.
Doxology—Thanking God becomes a sacred habit and everything becomes a gift.

“Real prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind, but about finding God’s heart, and letting His heart change our minds!”

A beautiful guided journey of prayer and contemplation. Each day asks questions that allow you to think about where you really ARE, spiritually. It's easy to gloss over our spiritual condition, and focus on on other things. But going round and round the same mountain isn't the goal of Christianity. We must move forward to follow after Jesus, both in our personal sanctification and in our practical steps with the Lord.

Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to go deeper in their relationship with Jesus.

This is written as a journaling prompt, through the acronym, SACRED. If you have read any of Ann's other books, you'll know this is a narrative, birthed, from her own walking out of a real faith, with real people, a real love for God, and real vulnerability. She dives deeper into each section of this acronym, and offers unique questions for each, with the daily journal prompts for each day along the Journey. The only reason I give it four stars, is because, Ann Voskamp is such a good writer I wish there was more of it. Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us fellow pilgrims.

This is my first book read by Ann Voscamp. The title grabbed me and the gorgeous book cover caught my attention plus I have heard wonderful things about her writing.

Sacred Prayer is a 90 day journal to help us see the true beauty of having intimacy with God. Sacred Prayer helps guide us to a closer relationship with God.

If you are looking for something to help you grow in your relationship with the Lord, Sacred Prayer will help. This book is truly amazing and will change lives.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

I thought the journal was well made and had a good flow. The questions were thought provoking but there was just something missing for me. Overall a solid 90 day prayer journal.

Ann Voskamp has a lovely way of writing. Sacred Prayer is part guide and part journal, breaking down a way of daily journaling prayer. With space for 90 days of reflection, the book includes several pages of thoughts on different portions of prayer: stillness, attentiveness, cruciformity, revelation, examine, and doxology, Each day of reflection includes the same questions, guiding you through those portions of prayer.

It's a beautiful book both in content and design.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #ThomasNelson for a free copy of #SacredPrayer by Ann Voskamp. All opinions are my own.

This is a beautifully designed journal for a spiritual rich 90 days journal. You can find reflective prompts, devotions and spaces for personal prayer. The book encourages a daily rhythm of prayer, cultivating a life of gratitude and worship.
