    About this ebook

    If we are being honest, many of us would admit that we spend practically no time praising God when we pray. We confess and thank and ask, but we don't do so well with the praising part of prayer. It is not that we don't think God worthy of our praise, nor is it because we don't desire to praise God for his greatness and goodness. We simply do not know how to do it! Admiring and Applauding God is a practical and simple tool that helps us praise God in prayer by daily focusing our minds and hearts on one facet of God's character. This tool does not tell you what to pray but prompts you to reflect and dwell on God's goodness based on your own life experiences. By keeping this book handy when you pray, you will find yourself spending several minutes admiring and applauding the great God who made us and who loves to meet with us.
