How should I pray? When should I pray? Why should I pray? Surely every Christian has asked these questions at some point in his or her life. In Your Prayer Coach—A Personal Prayer Guide , Cyd Olson, RN provides some answers. If prayer is a conversation, then God speaks to us through His written word. And indeed this book is biblical. In each prayer, Mrs. Olson uses her impressive knowledge of scripture to include appropriate Bible verses to remind us of who God is, what He has done, and what He has promised us. This is surely the essence of faith—knowing what God is like and putting our trust in Him. In this way, we pray “in Jesus’ Name”—that is to say, in accordance with his will and character. Although short, (194 pages) the book is extensive . There are prayers covering dozens of occasions and circumstances, from substance abuse to the birth of a baby. Lastly, the book is powerful. Cyd sprinkles through the text over 50 Hebrew names for God, each illustrating one of His characteristics. This gives us the opportunity to address Him the original language of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles.
This is not a book to read quickly. You will want to examine, ponder and digest it. You will want to refer to it again and again. It will make a valuable addition to your Christian library.

Thank you, Dr. Leach, for the most comprehensive review of the book. It is such an encouragement to me. Wow, I never thought, this book could be all these things! May our Lord be glorified! – Cyd

Your Prayer Coach is an excellent reminder of the role that prayer plays in the life of a Christian. For many people, prayer is a sort of recitation of requests to a Holy God, but He who created you and sustains you is not concerned with your shopping list of requests. As Shakespeare said, “My words fly up, my thoughts remain below, words without thoughts ne’er to heaven go.” This book is a reminder that your prayer aligns your thoughts with those of a Holy God who is constant in maintenance and care for you.

Thank You so much, Dr. Lou, for putting into words what our hearts and minds needed to hear. -Pinky (Cyd)

Your book is a anointed book from HaShems Heart. Just want to thank you for writing this book. It has already blessed us as a family. We would like to purchase more books from you. This would be a great gift for Chanukah.

Thank you, Tere! It is a pleasure to fight the good fight of faith with you! – Pinky (Cyd)

Reviewer:  Angelita H. Jardinel     

   Your Prayer Coach book is one of a kind. It could inspire newly converted people who want to pray but at a loss of what words to say. What is more inspiring is, its words are mostly from the Bible. It’s like talking to God and at the same time, God is talking to you. I thank God for using you to be of help to newbies to the faith.  -Angelita H Jardinel August 20, 2016 at 9:00 PM

Thank you so much for your inspiring review!- Pinky (Cyd)

5.0 out of 5 stars    One of the most useful, and powerful books on prayer that I have ever seen.

Format: Paperback

This book is totally AWESOME! Praying scriptures is so powerful, and many believers, especially new ones are often overwhelmed with trying to search out scriptures that apply to different situations in their lives. Even the old timers can benefit from this book. I would recommend it to everyone to have in their library, and to have extra copies to give to friends, family, or anyone in a time of need. Or, just to improve their prayer life.

I have used this prayer coach multiple times a day, everyday since I received it. I even purchased more copies to give to family and friends. It helps so much for someone like me that really didn’t know what to say when I prayed. It also has helped me find the words in my own prayers. Thank you for this gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars   A Great Guide for Your Prayers!!!
