Book Review: "Don't Stop Praying" By Matthew West #dontstoppraying #matthewwest #WPublishing

I have enjoyed Matthew West’s music for years, so when I heard about his book Don’t Stop Praying, I figured I would enjoy reading it too and I absolutely have.

One of the things I appreciated most was how Matthew began the book by walking readers through different parts of the Lord’s Prayer in separate chapters. It was such a meaningful and powerful way to break down prayer into something personal, approachable, and real. Instead of prayer feeling scripted or intimidating, the book reminds readers that prayer is simply a conversation with God.

There were several moments throughout the book that deeply connected with my own heart and current season of life. One quote especially stood out to me:

“God, I can’t handle this alone and I’m not going to pretend that I can.”


 

I actually shared that quote on my social media because it perfectly captured feelings I have wrestled with myself. Sometimes the simplest prayers are the most honest ones.

Another thing I loved about this book is how easy it is to read and reflect on. Each chapter is fairly short, making it perfect for a devotional-style reading experience. At the end of the chapters, there are thoughtful reflection questions along with space to write your own thoughts and prayers. I really appreciated that interactive element because it encourages readers to be real and raw before God instead of just reading words on a page and moving on.


Matthew combines biblical truth, personal stories, humor, and vulnerability in a way that feels genuine and encouraging. You can tell this book was written from a place of personal growth and honest faith.

Overall, I have truly enjoyed every page I’ve read so far. Don’t Stop Praying is a beautiful reminder that prayer matters, God listens, and we were never meant to carry life alone. Whether you are struggling, growing, waiting, or simply wanting to deepen your prayer life, this book is an encouraging companion for the journey.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
