Books like The Power of a Praying Parent

The Power of a Praying Parent

So if I were rating this book just for the prayers I would give it a 5. If I were rating the part where the author writes about each prayer topic I'd give it a 2. I should have just bought the book of prayers! The prayers are excellent and there's enough to pray one each day of the month for your child. Really liked this. Now, I am a full believer in the power of prayer. But what I didn't care for in this book was the author's attitude that if you simply pray for your children bad things won't happen to them. I don't think that's how she meant it but that's how it came across at times. Examples like sharing how her son was in a car accident with friends and he wasn't injured but others were & how she felt it was because they have always prayed for protection for him. This type of example can leave a young parent feeling like their child is doomed to trouble if they miss a day of praying. Despite our must heartfelt prayers, God often allows & uses difficulty in our lives. That doesn't mean we stop praying. It just means that prayer doesn't guarantee a painless life. I wish the author would address this more.
