Bible Prayers: Prayers of Abraham: 

The Bible records only a few of the actual prayers of the biblical patriarch Abraham as shown in this post.

Bible Reviewer: Holy Bible: Contemporary English Version: When I want an easy-to-read translation that's true to the intent and meaning of the original Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic texts, I often turn to the CEV.

Poetry Editor: Poems that make us feel: Poems that make us feel work best if they get real! This blog post shows how.

With easy-to-do yourself book publishing through Amazon Kindle and easy-to-do blogs via Google’s Blogger aka Blogspot, poets and writers have become more and more likely to publish their own work. Equally enticing, both forms of self-publishing are free!
A big obstacle arises though in getting out the word about the words written. With none of the advertising or publicity help that traditionally published poets and writers can rely on, the self-published author counts on you the reader to let friends, fellow readers, and social media followers know which books and blogs might be worth their reading time.
You don’t have to be a writer yourself to help the publishing community or literary world! Just tell people what you like as though you’re talking to them in person. Be specific about the unique aspects you found especially appealing or why you’re drawn to the work of a particular poet or writer.
If, however, you run across a “bad read” you wouldn’t recommend to anyone, don’t say a word – at least not in public! Instead send a note to the poet or writer if there’s something you feel strongly about; otherwise, let it go. It could be that the work hit a nerve or that whatever bothered you simply conflicts with the personal preferences or beliefs to which you’re both entitled.
As you review and laud 5-star books on Amazon and other sites, you add your voice to the literary community. You influence other readers, and your show appreciation for work well done. You may never know for sure, but your reviews can encourage a poet or writer enough to give momentum for the next book. At least, that’s what happened to me.
After decades of researching what the Bible says and shows about prayer, I “suddenly” knew I wanted a book that collected Bible prayers into a contemporary prayer book we can use to refresh, deepen, and empower our prayer lives. The immediate responses to the Book of Bible Prayers were so positive, I began the next book right away before my enthusiasm waned.
Maybe that’s why I’m up, writing this appeal before daybreak! Of necessity, poets and writers spend much of their time in solitude in order to get any work done, so your encouraging words matter a lot! And, who knows? Your positive review might give the momentum needed for the next manuscript that inspires and encourages you!

Poetry Editor: Poetry and the forgotten Beatitude: 
The poetic promises of the Beatitudes are often quoted without the one that brings it all home! May poets, writers, pastors, and other communicators for Christ be blessed by this new post.

Bible Prayers: Praying with Abraham for our children: Abraham, the great patriarch of three major religions, talked with God often, but the Bible records very few of his actual prayers. Here's one we surely want to pray for our families.

Poetry Editor: The poetry of prayer:  Poetry flows from the pages of the Bible and into our prayer lives today.

Bible Prayers: Bible Prayers: forgive us:

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, His famous example became an outline to guide our prayer life and/or to pray as is with slight variations as shown in this post:

Bible Prayers: NEW! the Book of Bible Prayers: After decades of researching what the Bible has to say about prayer and buying a bunch of prayer books that weren’t quite what I wanted, I felt led to collect the actual prayers in the Bible then prayer-a-phrase (prayerfully paraphrase) them into THE prayer book I personally want and need. If you do, too, you’ll be happy to know  the Book of Bible Prayers  is now available on Amazon. 

For more information and regular glimpses, Lord willing, of the prayers, click the hotlink at the top to take you to the Bible Prayers site.
