Power in Praise

This is a very encouraging book with many wonderful stories of the Lord's bounty backed up with relevant quotes from the Bible. Why do we have such difficulty believing the Lord loves us? We have to learn to trust The Lord after learning the lesson of this world where people let us down and we in turn let people and more importantly God down. In spite of all that The Lord does for us we are embroiled with the cares and thorns of this world and forget we have such an amazing loving caring almighty God who really does care. He is Almighty so He can help us. He is all wise so he knows how to help us and He is all loving so He helps us out of His great Love. We have to pray for the grace to receive His love instead of floundering in our own pride and sin. Look at Jesus not at the problem. God bless you and thank you for reminding me of my loving Father

I've read this book many times and each time it has helped me so much. It has helped me praise God even though at this time I'm going through the most difficult time of my life. I've started to praise God FOR the situation I'm in I'm more more at peace knowing that if God has allowed it then it's because He has a wonderful plan for my life so I can trust Him completely. I've recommended this book to a friend and she's bought it for herself. Thank you Merlin Carothers.

I loved this book. Having read Prison to Praise and got so much from it, I didn't expect to get as much from Power in Praise, but I was so wrong. I have read it twice now... the first time I borrowed it from friend, but I decided I wanted my own copy and after reading it a second time I was amazed at the different things I took away from it this time. A definite must

Too long descriptions/studies about many relevant theological subjects

Over the years I have read and re-read this book.I have lent it to friends, until it is falling apart. I was delighted to find it available on kindle now, because my other book won't last much longer. Merlin Carothers teaching on praising God in every situation has revolutionised my spiritual life. Everything in us rebels at the thought of praising God in every situation. But then we also rebel at the thought that salvation is free and can't be earned. And of loving our enemies. And of doing good to those who mistreat us. The Christian life is about doing things Gods way, not ours. Some of the examples given of the results of praise seem to be far fetched. But we a God of miracles. And Gods way nearly always causes us to reject it at first, because to our human reasoning it seems illogical. But Gods ways are higher than our ways. And His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. And He knows what He says is for our good. Try practising what this book teaches, even if it seems strange at first. You'll be greatly blessed.

Merlin Carothers systematically demonstrates how Christians should believe that God is moving in their lives in all the things that happen to them, whether they appear to be good or bad at the surface level. He goes on to show that if we believe that God is with us and offer praise, even in adverse circumstances, that we will come to understand exactly why things have happened the way they have. Added to this, following the pattern of believing and offering praise and thanksgiving, he shows that people often experience real joy in their lives and healing both physically and psychologically. The book reiterates much of what he has to say in his earlier work "Prison to Praise", but if anything, it is presented in a more organised way. It will test the faith of some people, but it is perhaps to these that it has the most to say.

I highlighted numerous lines in this book with my highlighter. This book will definitely not disappoint you

I read this book during one of the hardest times of my life in 2020. I found it difficult to accept the idea promoted by the author that we should thank God FOR all circumstances (as opposed to thanking Him IN all circumstances). I came to the conclusion that I disagreed with the author, and was relieved when I'd consigned the book to the bin.

De Lecture facile, beaucoup d'exemples de la part de l'auteur. Il ramene la louange au centre de notre vie quotidienne.

Great older book I had read years ago when it first came out. The book still holds true today. Happy with purchase. And if I wasn't, I would still praise God for having bought it. Oops, kind of gave a spoiler alert.

I read two pages and KNEW that this was the missing link! I couldn’t stop reading it and will read more of these. Prison to Praise is next . We are used to the habit of thanking the Lord for the good things only . Yet, we can be grateful for our trials and tribulations . They teach us so much and strengthen us . I’ve begun , and feel confident that J will see improvements in all area of my life and my families

Both of Merlin Crothers books on Praise are amazing. In his first book Prison to Praise he tells how he started praising God and how it changed his life and in this book Power in Praise he goes further and gives stories about how this worked for other people and miraculous things happened. Praising God can change your life and I know it did mine. I love these too books. I bought them for my sister too and it turned her life around as well.

We look at our lives and want to understand every bit of it -and if it doesn’t fit the picture we desired it should fit, we’d be disappointed and discouraged. Read this book to know how through it all - even the worst pain you’ve had - God stretches his arms of love around you, and is making you what He’s always wanted you to be. He isn’t just making situations turn for good, He knew it all along and He has walked with you through that process.
