Editorial Reviews

"The best way to talk to God is from His own Word. James Banks has done a masterful job in helping us encounter God in the Scriptures while capturing the breadth of human emotion, the depth of personal struggle, and the heights of extraordinary praise. No matter who you are or what you are encountering, these prayers will give language to your soul and direction to your life."

Daniel Henderson

“My prayer life has been enriched by this book and it will be a cherished part of my devotions in the years to come.

Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie

“This wonderful volume can transform your prayer life! As many of Christian history’s spiritual giants understood, something very special seems to happen when a person uses the inspired and life-giving words of Scripture to express to God their deepest yearnings, petitions, and praise. Give it a try and your prayer life will be greatly enriched.

Dr. Garth M. Rosell

“I love any book that teaches me how to pray, or even what to pray. Therefore, I love this book by James Banks. [The prayers] are so handy, and they are biblical. My prayer is that you would become a better prayer warrior for God by praying the prayers of the Bible.

Elmer Towns

“God has fueled in James Banks a passion for prayer, a passion that he desires to share with all of God’s people. Praying the Prayers of the Bible is the result, and in it you will learn how to use the many prayers of Scripture as prompts for deepening your relationship with our Triune God. I look forward to using this wonderful book in my own devotional time in ways that will help focus my attention on loving the One who first loved us.
