Present in Prayer: A Guided Invitation to Peace Through Biblical Meditation (30 Devotional Meditations on Scripture to Guide You in Prayer) – The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift for Christian Moms

Beautifully written and illustrated! Insights into scripture passages, challenges to slow down and appreciate all your Heavenly Father has provided. Also, thought life addressed. Don’t allow thoughts to spiral away from the Word! I verse mapped as I studied each passage. These books are great as gifts! You will love how you grow in mindfulness of God!

Present in Prayer by Jennifer Tucker is a beautifully illustrated guide to Christian meditation. The author leads you through 30 different meditations, the topics of which are based on Philippians 4:8. There are 8 sections: Whatever is True, Whatever is Honorable, Whatever is Right, Whatever is Pure, Whatever is Lovely, Whatever is Admirable, Whatever is Excellent, and Whatever is Worthy of Praise. These are not a quick 5-minute devotionals. Each meditation has taken me about half an hour, but the time spent on it is really up to you. The author provides a framework, but how much time you take meditating and contemplating is going to be different for each person. Very biblically based, and you'll be doing a thorough perusal of a passage of scripture in each one. I will say that I don't always prefer the translation the author has picked (ie MSG). Some of the more contemporary translations help give context, I just happen to be partial to the NKJV. As a bonus, my Garmin shows that my stress levels are reduced drastically during and after these meditations, so they've been a great way for me to end my day and wind down before bedtime. 5/5 Stars. Highly Recommended if you're looking for a closer walk with the Word. Helpful to find personal insights into scripture. I received an eARC version of this book and have already ordered it in hard copy. I'll definitely be checking out the author's other books. Thank you to NetGalley, Jennifer Tucker, and Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to review the eARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Absolutely amazing book I absolutely loved it. I have read through this book twice and it is so helpful.

Love this little book! Great Scripture prayers!

This is a great little devotional book. Passages are short, but meaningful.

I’ve just started this lil book but I’m absolutely in love with it. Easy concise writing and readability and the most beautiful cover and pages of artwork throughout. I’m looking forward to spending time in this one each day

I loved Jennifer Tucker’s first devotional book about Anxiety which I read twice during my lowest period and it really helped me to mediate on scripture to calm my heavy big storms. When she came out with another devotional book about scripture meditation to slow down and focus on virtuous things (Philippians 4:8 - what is true, honorable, righteousness , pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy), I had to get this too. This one is just as wonderful as the first book and I’ve gifted it to friends who have also gifted it to their friends. Jennifer has a gifted way of using her art and words to bring scripture to life and really make me think about verses in a way that slow me down to notice it’s meaning and to bring me peace, joy, love, and kind thoughts. It is just a beautiful book and I love the prayers that are written that I can pray.

Love this book! Such a great addition to my morning devotions. Well written with guided content, that helps you stay calm & focused on God’s word

This book is revolutionary when it comes to getting into the habit of reading the Word and praying along with what I’ve learned about Jesus. Highly recommended!

Love this. Very effective in helping me slow down and be still in Gods presence

This book is full of beautiful art and prayers. Also the method for meditating on Scripture could be used with any Scripture.

Bought as a gift for a friend because we’ve used Jennifer Tucker’s book Breath as Prayer. She was delighted.

Biblically sound, beautiful pages, nice layout. Have bought a few for gifts.
