Summary: "PrayerWalk" is an inspiring read!
Review: As busy as women's lives are, we often put two very important things on the back burner - praying and doing something to keep ourselves physically fit. In "PrayerWalk" the author shows us how we can combine these two and not just make time for God, but make meeting with Him in prayer a daily priority in our lives. McHenry walks us through her own and others' experiences, presenting a lot of great ideas for taking the concept of prayerwalking and making it ours. She encourages us not to just follow a cookie cutter recipe for fitness and prayer time, but to seek God and His design for those areas of our lives. This inspiring book would be a wonderful addition to your personal collection or a great gift to a friend or a church library. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for anyone wishing to strengthen their walk with the Lord while strengthening their bodies.

But if you're genuinely wanting to become a disciplined person, physically and spiritually, you will find the tools for becoming so in PrayerWalk. The author doesn't promise you it will be easy-nothing worth having ever is. However, whether or not you intend to become a walker, you can benefit greatly from this book. The prayer helps and ideas offered are invaluable. Janet McHenry shows you how to pray specific prayers, and get specific answers. You'll learn how to pray for your children, for your community, for your friends and for yourself. Knowing that, why wouldn't you want this book?

Summary: Will get you walking and praying.......
Review: This book is a wonderful, quick read, packed with motivational material which will inspire you to get up, get walking, and get praying. What makes this book so valuable is that Ms. McHenry combines practical advice on how to start and continue a healthy walking routine, with encouragement to pray and the spiritual benefits received. I particularly loved her encouragement on prayer....it really made me want to dive into a deeper "walk with God".

Summary: I read half the book, put it down and went out for a walk!
Review: This book is amazing! Every Christian woman who wants a more vibrant prayer life and a healthier body should read this book! The first thing that impressed me when I started reading PrayerWalk was that the author was very honest and made herself very vulnerable in telling about how she was feeling about herself and about life before she started prayerwalking. That really helped me to identify with her. She wasn't one of those women who have their act together in every area of their lives. And for those of you who think that the weather in your area isn't conducive to walking outside, you can read about the weather conditions in Janet's northern California mountain valley community. The temperatures there are below freezing from September through April! For those of you who don't think you have time to prayerwalk, consider that the author has a full-time job as a high-school English teacher as well as her responsibilities of being wife and mother. Janet walks at 5am every weekday, and it's usually dark. She's had some interesting encounters - from a mountain lion to drug dealers. Janet had planned on praying for her own spiritual growth and for her family members and friends. As she walked, she expanded her prayer list to include many others in the town in which she lives - she prays for businesses she walks by, government buildings and what goes on inside, and so much more. I found this both humbling and exciting to see how God can lead you when you embark on this new endeavor of prayerwalking! I read this book in 24 hours. After I read the first 70 pages or so, I put the book down, grabbed my jacket and went for a 30 minute PrayerWalk! Using the author's formula, I figured that my target heart rate is between 85 and 129. I enjoy contemporary Christian music, so I took my DiscMan along and the words of the music helped me form my prayers. Does anyone else do this? Please check out my reviews of other Christian books and music!
