Excellent for people who have times of aimless prayers or busy schedules that make the mind wander.
This helps to focus on the Almighty God with wonderful and honoring words.

I don't usually like to read other people's prayers, but I really love this book. The prayers are almost like mini sermons with Bible references. I bought extras to give as gifts. Very inspirational.

Seminary has a bad reputation, at times. I enjoyed it. Having said that, there is one thing that it did not teach me - it did not teach me how to pray. Oh, I know, prayer is speaking to God. But when a pastor is in the pulpit prayer can feel very uncomfortable - not only is God listening to the prayer, but so is the congregation. One would hope that we are only praying for God, but most pastors are aware that there is that second audience present as well.
John MacArthur’s At The Throne of Grace proves that point. His prayers, if truely said from the Sunday pulpit as the book claims, is as much about teaching as it is about speaking to God.
Each prayer begins with a brief scripture reading and a devotional - then comes the sample prayer. The prayers are well-written - a pleasure to read; though, as a pastor, I would feel uncomfortable using them in a worship service. Here is a portion of a prayer following a devotional on I John 2:1-19:
Dear Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow,
we confess that You alone are the giver of every good and perfect gift, (1)
and You have given us so many things,
richly supplying us with things to enjoy. (2)
And we are reminded by the passage we have just read that
the greatest gift of all is Your Son, Jesus Christ,
who sacrificed His very life in order that
we might be freed from sin’s bondage.
Fill our hearts with gratitude, and may our lives
reflect overflowing thankfulness
so that all who see may honor You.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The most helpful part of the book is how it has directed my attention to other books on prayer:
Alexander MacLaren, Pulpit Prayers
C H Spurgeon, The Pastor In Prayer
Richard Foster, Sanctuary of the Soul: Journey into Meditative Prayer
Stormie Omartian, Powerful Prayers For Troubled Times
Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers
C H Spurgeon, The Pastor In Prayer
Richard Foster, Sanctuary of the Soul: Journey into Meditative Prayer
Stormie Omartian, Powerful Prayers For Troubled Times
Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers
Those of the ones that I added to my reading list as a result of starting MacArthur’s book of prayers. Each reader will want to add their own selection as they continue to think about the role prayer will play in their own life.
Do you want to learn to pray? Begin by praying. Then read the prayers of those who have gone before - let them teach us.
This review is based on a free, electronic copy provided by the publisher prior to publication of the book.

John MacArthur has been an example to all of us of how to enter the throne of grace. I appreciate how the scripture is written the book and then prayed. I've set it on my kitchen table to read each morning. I hope to give as Christmas gifts.

John MacArthur may be best known for his roles as pastor, teacher and bible scholar but the foreword of his new book gives readers special insight to his role as a father. I was moved to tears when I read what his children humbly wrote about him:
“Our theology was shaped by the words our dad prayed…”
“By God’s grace our dad has been what he preaches…”
The MacArthur childrens’ love for their father is tangible through the words they write on the pages preceding the intimate collection of their father's prayers that they urged him to share with others. It was because of their admiration and respect for their father, that they encouraged him to share what they had been immersed in growing up. Their testimony is a powerful legacy to the man that so many respect and look up to.
This collection of John MacArthur’s prayers is majestic, inspiring and calming. A sense of peace and serenity comes over the reader as they contemplate the powerful prayers of a man who has walked many years with God. These prayers are elegant and stately but at the same time profoundly simple. This book is a must have for those wanting to add a prayer book to their library.
The book is divided into 6 main sections and the last section has two prayers, one for Christmas and one for Easter. I highly recommend this book for yourself or as a gift.

This book will guide readers, in the most intimate way possible, before God's throne of grace...giving them a renewed passion and appreciation for their Lord.
I can't begin to tell you how much I "Love" this book.

Before we begin digesting these wonderful chapter, John begins with Prayers on Worship and the Attributes of God....Ahh! We then head into Prays on Joy and Longing and Prayers on the Cross and the Gospel! Something we all need...Prayers on Personal Holiness and where a lot of us lack...Prayers on Useful Service.
I highly recommend this book, if I could give it 10 starts or more ...I would!!!
I received this book from the Publisher Harvest House, and was not required to give a positive review!

Review 13 for At the Throne of Grace
Overall Rating:
Date:October 23, 2011
This book is a collection of over 50 prayers collected from the years of John MacArthur's ministry. These beautiful prayers are based on Scripture and will bring you closer to God. Divided into six sections (Prayers on Worship and the Attributes of God, Prayers on Joy and Longing, Prayers on the Cross and the Gospel, Prayers on Personal Holiness, Prayers on Useful Service, and Prayers on Holy Seasons), there are prayers for nearly any circumstance that you might find yourself in. This is a keeper and will find a special place on my bookshelf where I can read - and pray through - it over and over again throughout the years.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.
