When We Say Father by Adrian & Steve Rogers {Book Review}

When We Say Father - By: Adrian Rogers, Steve Rogers

Title: When We Say Father

Author: Adrian Rogers & Steve Rogers

Age: Adult

Genres: Christian Life, Prayer

Publication Date: March 1, 2018

Publisher: B&H Publishing Group

Source: Hardcover provided for review.


Synopsis: 
Adrian Roger’s last written manuscript before his passing in 2005 has been edited and brought together by his son, Steve, as a final joint work. When We Say Father takes the Lord’s Prayer and breaks it down to its most basic components for readers to easily learn how to pray from the ultimate source, Jesus himself. 
When Jesus shared the Lord's Prayer with his disciples, he meant it to be a teachable moment. Urging you to turn away from rote repetition, Rogers shows how to use the text as Jesus intended---as a model to help you learn about the priority, provision, pardon, protection, praise, and promise of conversation with God.
My Rating: 
Biblically sound, well-written, scriptural reference -- this book is phenomenal! I'm a lover of all things prayer. I just love learning all that I can about prayer and what it says in the Bible so this book was a no-brainer to get. I have never heard of the authors, Adrian & Steve Rogers (a father-son duo), but I knew I just had to get my hands on this book and I'm glad I did. The main point to this book is as the subtitle says "unlocking the power of the Lord's prayer" and that it does. It focuses on the Our Father prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.

The book is divided into 7 chapters that breaks apart the prayer by giving you 7 P's of the prayer:
  1. Person
  2. Priority
  3. Provision
  4. Pardon
  5. Protection
  6. Praise
  7. Promise
These 7 P's are 7 points to truly remember about the prayer in the gospel of Matthew. Each chapter is broken up and expounded on in simple layman's terms with personal examples. This book is not heavy to were a person would get confused or they'd feel "weird" from reading it. Roger stays away from the doctrine and theological structure -- he keeps it simple for everyone to understand. I truly enjoyed this book and it's a short read of about 140 pages. Love this and recommend it.

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene...

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;...
