"Praying for Boys" - review

I've been having a real roller coaster of opinions on this book. "Praying for Boys" by Brooke McGlothlin really caught my attention by the title alone because I have boys and desire nothing more than to see them become mighty warriors for Christ. Once I got the book (which I received free in exchange for an honest review), and started reading, I was disappointed because the author's boys are way younger than mine. Great. What is she going teach me when she hasn't even gone through the life stages I have? Hence the first dip in the roller coast ride. By the author's own confession, this book isn't a parenting book. It's a prayer book. Once I got to the end of the first chapter and saw this book for what it really is, my roller coaster soared again. It's intended to show you how to pray for your sons using Scripture and there are verses that you can plug your child's name into every couple of pages. Each list of verses is themed around an area of desire or concern. Admittedly, the beginning of the book is a bit wordy but stick with it.
