More Than Bells: Preparation For Prayer

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Prayer is an integral part of the Christian faith. It is communication with God, an acknowledgment of His role in our lives, and in the lives of those we pray for and with. Prayer gives us the opportunity to assist someone even when we can’t be with them. In order to be more effective in our prayer life, it is important that we understand who we are, who we pray to, and how important prayer is. This book is designed, through daily readings, to prepare you for a life of prayer, to be a more effective pray – er, and to give you the confidence support those whom you are in contact with through prayer.
My Thoughts On This Book
More Than Bells is a unique devotional written with bikers in mind. All of the devotions in this book is about Prayer, and what we must do in our to have an effective prayer life. Barbara Derksen shows us from the Bible how that you must understand and believe who you are, and understand where your power comes from in order to have prayers that are powerful and effective.
Some of the devotions here are: Straight Line to God, Call to Pray, talking about how powerful and effective your prayers are; God’s Provision, is about God supplying all of our needs; Once But Not Anymore, says that you are dead to sin and alive to obeying God, and Touched by and Angel tells how you live under a Supernatural protection. And this is just a touch of the iceberg of that is in this wonderful devotional.
Reading each of these devotions brought peace and comfort to my heart. It seemed that each one is just what I needed for the day and time of day I read them. God brings into our lives what we need when we need it, and I surely need Barbara Derksen’s More Than Bells at this time. This book has something for everyone. If motorcycles are your thing, then you will enjoy the biker talk, and if you are not a biker, you still enjoy what Ms. Derkser has for you in this book. Devotionals are awesome to have around, and you can’t have enough of them. I am enjoying More Than Bells on my Kindle, because I have it everywhere I go. I encourage you to pick up your copy and enjoy these truths from God’s Word for yourself.

About the Author
Born in Canada, Barbara Ann resided in the US for twelve years. There she was
published for the first time, first in newspapers and magazines and then, in
2003, her first book was released. Watching the expressions on the faces of her
readers as well as answering questions about her characters is what drives
Barbara Ann to write yet another book. Her favorite genre is murder mystery but
each book brings forth characters who rely on God as they solve the puzzle in
their life. Her readers also have a tremendous amount of input when they wonder
what happened to this character or that one, even if they are secondary to the
story.
