- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Praying for Boys is a good resource for any parent or family member who deals with boys. Even though there are prayers included where one can insert any given boys name, I was hoping for a more straightforward book of prayers or more like a devotional of sorts. McGlothlin provides insight/advice for the parents before offering the prayers. Many moms and those who deal with boys will appreciate these offerings.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The latest Early Reviewer book received through Librarything.com written by Brooke McGlothlin from Bethany House Publishing was an advanced reading copy (not a final text) titled Praying for Boys: Asking God for the Things They Need Most. I am the father of children four of whom are boys. I requested this book based on its title. The very beginning captured my interest as it appeared to be a welcome conversation with a Christian friend. I wondered why the book was geared toward woman and not men? As I read this book I saw it coming from a devoted mother that is raising boys in a Christian family that shared a similar world view and had similar desires for raising boys that are in the river modern day society and grounding them in the things I value. She uses scripture to focus on many important traits and characteristics and assists with prayers for those domains. She gives suggestions and templates for structure in a thoughtful way which could be used in an online or group format. Family and friends have already asked to borrow this book and wanted to purchase it as soon as they are able. I am thankful for being selected and will recommend this book to others.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is now a staple in my book collection! I am a mother of for biological boys, have adopted two and foster many teen boys. This is my new go to resource for the "why am I doing this again days"?! Will also ensure a copy of this goes on the shelf at our local library!
