The 7 Great Prayers - Book Review
Paul and Tracey McManus Show A Powerful Way To Change Your Life
With so much negativism around these days, many enjoy seeing a positive side, especially one that does not require investing a lot of time and money into changing your life. Enter the world of positive affirmation.
The Simple Powerful Way to Change Your Life
The McManus' had it all - and then lost it with the dot-com failure. While prayer was always part of their life, it was not thought of as a powerful tool. Yet instead of praying for the negative to turn around, they simply prayed and gave thanks for what they still had - each other, their health, and a loving family. This was the turning point. No negativism, just an affirmation of gratitude. Seeing a distinct change in their own attitudes as well as their situation, they realized the power of prayer and self-affirmation.
Together with Mr. Mcmanus' religious training and background, they created six more prayers, which eventually lead to the book, The 7 Great Prayers. Originally, the husband and wife team were copying their book on an as-needed basis.
As word spread though, more and more requests came in, along with notes of gratitude. In fact, this book was one of the top self-published books in the world. Eventually, they could not keep up with demand on a self-published basis. In order to reach more readers, they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a galley proof of the book from dedicated publishers.
Conversational Tone in The 7 Great Prayers
The 7 Great Prayers is written in a conversational tone, and flows from one section to another. The reader is encouraged to immediately start on the system of 21 days of particular prayer while reading the book; there is no reason to wait until the book is finished: in fact, the authors feel the reader will enhance results and understanding of concepts by immediately starting to use these prayers/affirmations.
This is a "how to" book, with seven steps to reach a lifetime of blessings and hope. Each step is clearly defined with space provided for the reader to wrte down what is needed. For example, step 2 is to tap into your God-given gifts. This requires self reflection, and then a commitment by writing down and recognizing what these gifts are.
The 7 Great Prayers by Paul and Tracey McManus shows a simple way to change your life. The book comes complete with CD and pocket sized prayer booklet, for easier accomplishment of the required 21 day session.
