Andy Zach's Reviews > Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection

Addison Bevere does a good job of creating a fresh approach to prayer. He focuses his approach around the Lord's prayer, but he redefines each element in new ways.

His perspective is integrating all the elements of prayer into every part of life. This is a difficult goal, but an achievable one.

Bevere gives a unique view of common Christian themes of brotherhood, forgiveness, love of God and forces you to think about them in new ways.

One critique I have, and it may be only my perspective: he has a very non-linear way of writing. He doesn't tell you where he's going until you get there. That's fine in fiction, but for non-fiction I prefer logical transitions from one subject to the next. I want to know the topic and the point of the story or discussion in each sentence or paragraph. If I get a long, complicated metaphor, I want to kow the point before I start.
