Bold - by Rachel Risner (Paperback)

About the Book

In this study we'll learn to pray boldly with kingdom purpose, prayers that move our hearts, grow our faith, and shape our lives. Prayers that God uses to bring about His will.

Friends, it's time to pray bold.

Book Synopsis

It's time to get to work-- on our knees.

We need to be praying just as much as we need to be breathing-continually.

But what if you don't know where to begin? After all - it's downright bold to address the God of the Universe, right?

This study will help you learn from scripture how to:

• Take your place as the daughter of a God who's both close and colossal.
• Bare your soul while casting your cares on the best Burden-Bearer.
• Pray with kingdom purpose, prayers that join in bringing about God's will.

In this study we'll learn to pray boldly with kingdom purpose, prayers that move our hearts, grow our faith, and shape our lives. Prayers that God uses to bring about His will. Because just like Hannah and Miriam, just like Deborah and Mary, we're praying to the God who sees us and knows us by name, the God who shakes heaven and earth to give us the impossible victory, the God who provides for our every desperate need.

Friends, it's time to pray bold.

Review Quotes

"Absolutely amazing book study. So insightful and makes you look at Biblical women so much more in-depth than you thought you could. Making them so relatable to our lives." -Amazon review

"I am doing this study with my daughters and we are all loving it. Rachel brings out the history behind the story in such and interesting way. It encourages us to pray but it also helps study the Bible. Two benefits in one study. I would suggest this to life long Christian's as well as new believers. I can't say enough good about this study. I'm hoping she is working on another one. ����" -Ranee Y.

"'God's so good-He gives us exactly what we need, right when we need it.' This was true of this study in my life as well. Truths from Scripture that I knew were true, but needed to be reminded of, encouraged and uplifted me while I was doing this study though a period of suffering...I found it particularly helpful how Rachel compares the six women studied and their prayers with the Lord's prayer.

Rachel lists the six main truths to help you pray bold in the back of the book. This will be a page I reference continually to encourage and strengthen my faith and prayers.

Written as a friend having a conversation with you, I could relate to Rachel in many ways throughout the book. This made it more applicable and meaningful. Rachel also does an excellent job of using Scripture from the whole Bible to give validity to what she is teaching.

Laid out in an easy to use format, with a 5 day a week study and a bonus video teaching to summarize the week at the end, this study allows for reading daily Scripture passages, reading the teaching about the Scripture, and always gives space at the end to consider how what was read and learned applies to your life, with prompts for personal reflection and prayer. Also helpful is the occasional verse copied in the margin to assist with answering the questions. The questions are not abstract, making this a quality Bible study. This study will draw you closer to God and put "tools in your toolbox" for praying bold at all times in your life." -Beth P.

"I loved this study and bought copies for my friends so we can do it together!! This study truly helps with praying bold prayers! I loved the way the author brings out more insight to the women in the Bible. She had me very emotionally drawn in... I could feel her love for him.. I want to love him like that naturally my self!!" -Lisa B.

"I love the premise of this book! Rachel discusses prayer by walking the readers alongside 6 bold women praying about situations that no one can fully understand. The way she sets this up with 5 days of study and then gives the readers full access to her video teachings, promotes a full experience of the study. I would recommend this book for any women's group looking for a new study, for a woman looking to grow deeper in her faith, and for a woman just starting her faith journey!!" -Gina F.
