Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Powerful and personal, Get Off Your Knees and Pray shows women that they have a lifeline straight to the heart of God.
'I've always shied away from this topic as I really stink at prayer,' says Sheila. And she isn't alone. We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so religious. Only the very spiritual hear from Him directly. Only those who live as missionaries or in a monastery can really pray and move mountains. Right?
Wrong. Sheila has come a long way since the days when she shied away from prayer. In fact, yesterday she says, 'Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer.' Her life message has always been You are loved by God just as you are. If we are loved as we are, we can talk to God as we are.

I purchased this book for my ladies Bible study and what a treat. This book will strenghten your faith and draw you closer to God! It has changed my life and strengthen my prayer time with God and my family. It not only helps you to know how to pray, but also what to pray for. The nice thing about this book is it teaches you how to pray where ever you are and in the middle of what ever circumstance you're in. It's truly a wonderful book! Have your pen and/or highlighter ready. The whole book deserves to be underlined! :) I hope this book will touch your life the way it touched mine. Sincerely, A busy mom of 2 toddlers, who really needs prayer! hehe! :)

There are two hard Biblical topics to wrap your mind around. One is faith and the other is prayer. I know this review is on "Get Off Your Knees and Pray!" but it would be an injustice to not mention Sheila's book "Extraordinary Faith" too! When I read "Extraoridinary Faith" I thought finally somebody has written a book that gives you an understanding of what faith is and how it is not based on us, but on God in us! Well, Sheila has done it again with prayer. "Get Off Your Knees and Pray" is a book that will free you up and help you to understand that as a Christian, prayer is your birthright and it will strengthen your whole life. Here is one of my favorite parts from this book.
"We hear people telling us that the way to God is clearer through something or someone else. That if we read this book, the author will tell us how to reach God. That if we send money to that ministry, someone will talk to God and receive and answer on our behalf. Rubbish! God talks to His people through His Word, through the counsel of Godly friends, and to our own hearts through the Holy Spirit." Skipping 3 paragraphs she goes onto say this. "I'm saying that prayer is sometimes just the beginning of the conversation. So many of the spiritual disciplines that used to be practiced by believers have, to a large extent, been lost. Meditation, solitude, and fasting are elements that are often missing from our lives. It takes an intentional choice to carve out time in our overfull schedules to listen to the voice of God in that way. But Jesus assured us that when we look past all the books and speakers and seek to commune with Him, we will know His voice."
I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to hear from God through prayer or to the one who already faithfully prays.

"Get Off Your Knees And Pray" was an awesome book. Sheila draws from her experiences as a mother and life to share insights that God has given to her about prayer and why it is so important to our Christian Life. Some times we as Christians make prayer more than it is and that can kill our motivation to pray. Sheila, through humour and honesty, challenges our faultily thoughts on the subject and shares how God has changed her perspective. She also talks about why God sometimes does not answer. This is a an awesome book and I would highly recommend it to you! I have been a Sheila Walsh fan since the 80's and so I try to read her books and I can say this one is one of my favorites. Check it out. You will not be sorry! I would also recommend any of her other great books as well.
