 About the book:
Pray A to Z: Practical Guide to Pray for Your Community (Worthy, November 2016)
Change the world one prayer at a time. How would our community change if instead of absently saying, "I'll pray for you," we actually did pray---deeply, intensely, and purposefully? Pray A to Z: A Practical Guide to Praying for Your Community will help you topically organize your prayer requests and lay the burdens of your community at the feet of our Heavenly Father. With compassion and encouragement, Amelia Rhodes offers Bible verses and prayer prompts, organized topically for every letter of the alphabet. There are five topics per letter---three prayers of petition asking God to work in a certain area of need, and two more prayers of praise to reflect gratitude for God's presence in the daily issues and relationships of life. Through petition and praise, your specific, focused communion with God will lighten your heart as you place the heaviness of those prayer requests where they belong---on His strong shoulders. Whether you are praying for a friend's adoption journey, a neighbor's bankruptcy, or a family member's cancer, this book will give you Bible verses, prayer prompts, and prayer starts to guide you through praying for even the most difficult issues that affect the people you know and love. Perfect for either individual or group prayer, Pray A to Z will help you experience the peace that comes from communicating with God.

My Review:
"Pray A to Z: a practical guide to pray for your community" is truly that - a book that will help guide your prayers. Sometimes it is hard to actually put into words what is on our hearts and minds, hard to voice what we are seeking God's help and guidance with. This is when Amelia's book comes in to help us to put into words what we are trying to pray for. This is a very "user-friendly" book as well as the topics are arranged alphabetically so it is easy to look through and find guidance on a specific thing you are facing and dealing with such as looking for employment, a loved one in the military and financial matters. Each topic has a page devoted to it including a verse or short passage, specific things in relation to the topic to think about and pray for and lastly, a sample, guided prayer to use. This is a must-have book for those whom are wishing to make a difference in their prayer lives and through their prayers.
