I gave the book to a teen age girl as a present for assisting in the children's ministry. I think it will help her with her own prayer time.

Very interesting book especially for teens who do not have time to pray because they are preoccupied with material things around them. This is a perfect gift for your teenage children still beginning to discover the world around them. I should have known this book before my son reaches & step forward into teenage stage of life. This book should be displayed in the famous bookstores in town. Hope to see more of these books in their shelves for public to see and be aware that there is such this kind of book spiritually uplifting for people who are growing up but not spiritually gaining.

I've had this book for a little while now and I love reading it. I learn soo much everytime I read it and I really enjoy the book. It has definitely brought me closer to God and I find myself praying a lot more and my prayers are more meaningful. I definitely recommend it.

I learned as much as I expect the teens to learn. We've made flashcards with the names of God in Hebrew as well as the matching verse. The info was invaluable in preparing the lesson on prayer.

The excerpts I've read should relate well for our confirmation class. Hopefully I see good results over the next few years as they continue to read it and become good people!

Two teenage girls are close to my heart. Read this book thoroughly. Found it to be doctrinally sound and most appropriate for these girls. And their mother also approves.

This book changed my life! I was never much of a praying person. I fell away from God because I didn't lift up my life in prayer. I always felt like a bad Christian because of my lack of prayer. Then I bought this book and I now LOVE to pray! I pray all the time and have a very close relationship with my heavenly father. This is the best $6 you will ever spend!!!

A friend of my mom's gave me and one of my friends this book a couple weeks ago. I started reading it and at first wasn't sure if I liked it or not but I decided to keep reading and give it another chance. I am really, really glad I continued reading this because every chapter has at least one sentence underlined and almost every chapter has spoken to me personally. I love this book! It is changing my life, and is helping me to have a closer and more personal relationship with Christ. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

We are a big fan of Stormie Omartian's books the Power of a Praying ....... Now that we have a teenager in the house it is fitting that we have this book too. The prayers in all of her books are outstanding.

Seriously an amazing book. I'm on the 5th chapter already. Wow...It's so great. It's a lot of things I've already been taught but everything from a totally different point of view. It's been really helping me to grow and comprehend my purpose here and to be light to other teens my age. I'm recommending it to all the youth group at my church. I'd say BUT ITTT! For all those parents out there that need some kind of help for their teen, buy it right now! It'll be the first step for God to start changing your teen's heart!

As a reader of Stormie Omartian's "The Power of the Praying ..." series, this book for teens is excellent. Great for a teen Bible study (which we will be starting next month). Our teens are the next generation and if we can pass the torch of the "power of praying" onto them, then God will hear, He will answer, and their relationship with God will be much closer. Not only will our teens learn and experience that close relationship with God and the power of prayer now...but this is also a stepping stone which will carry them for the rest of their lives.

This is an excellent book. It's written in a way that is 'entertaining' for my 15 year old to read, but it is convicting as well. It really explains what prayer is and WHY everyone should pray! Great book!

Prayer is something that really lacks in a teen's life from my experience. This book shows that it is a neccessity in life. It also shows that any problems with may deal with that God can be there to help you through it all. All you need is the connection with him through prayer. I recommend you buying this for your kid, or buying this for yourself.
