Review: Praying for Boys by:Brooke McGlothlin

 Praying for Boys: Asking God for the Things They Need Most
About the Book:

Instead of trying harder to change your boy's behavior or worrying about his future, enjoy the peace that comes when you pray specific prayers for him straight from the Bible. This encouraging book helps you target your prayers on what your son needs most--from patience and self-control to having a pure heart and making wise decisions.

- understand boys' deepest struggles, no matter their age
- rest in knowing that God is the only One who can change your son's heart
Written for moms but great for dads (and grandparents) too, this easy-to-use book is filled with uplifting stories and biblical wisdom that will equip you on your journey to raising a godly man.

About the Author:
Brooke McGlothlin has encouraged thousands of moms toward a richer prayer life as co-founder of the popular online community for mothers of boys, the MOB Society (www.themobsociety.com). She's the author of several books and resources for moms, and lives in the mountains of southwest Virginia with her husband, their two sons, and two Labs.

My Review:
 The only power we as parents have in this strange, evil world is the power of prayer. The book, Praying for Boys, is a book to help you get right to the place of getting on your knees before the Lord and lay it at His feet. I know I want Him to take the lives and the hearts of my boys and transform them to live for Him.

 Each day you can be met with obstacles that this life bring and the obstacles a life with boys can bring and together with the Lord you can overcome them all. The author, the mother of two young boys herself, she teaches us how to effectively pray and how to turn over the reigns to the one and only God that can help our boys reach those heights that that the likes of this world has never seen.

 The author, Brooke McGlothlin, gives you prayers to pray along with the scriptures to use with them as you pray to become a true prayer warrior for your son(s). Her purpose in writing this book is three fold: to encourage parents to pray for their sons, to teach them how to pray for the, and to inspire them to do it on a regular basis.

 To conclude- the author reassures us that God has all of this in His mighty hands, we just have to be willing to trust Him with our boys and their path. Because of the fact that we as  parents have very little control over our young boys and their hearts this is definitely an area that we need to relinquish control of.

**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Bethany House.
