Synopsis

Is your spiritual life more like a fast-food run than an intimate dinner for two?Whether it’s the busy mother’s wish to be Wonder Woman—minus the metal bra—or battles with an exploding hot water heater, or fighting the “Resolutionary War” of New Year’s Day, Mary Pierce understands the dilemmas of being a woman in today’s 24/7 world. From disorganized misery to extreme organizational mania (she used to refer to her children by their household chores: Cat Box Boy, Dishwasher Girl, and Garbage Can Baby), Pierce deals with our fumbling attempts to grow closer to God, encouraging us as she invites us to laugh, cry, love, embrace life, and pray!In her humorous, conversational style, Pierce laughs at her mistakes and her prayers that seem more like advertising jingles (Lord, I need a break today, and Can you hear me now, Lord?). In Confessions of a Prayer Wimp, you’ll come to understand that faith is less about what you are or do or say, and more about who God is—someone who loves you no matter what you do.

Goodreads review by Carey

Okay, I confess: I didn't get very far in this book before I stopped reading. Too much self-deprication - I couldn't read any more "I'm not deep" and other comments that seemed to undercut the author's intelligence and insight. I think that we are also WAY too different, theologically and ideologica......more

Goodreads review by Ameerah

I really enjoyed this book. I remember reading this in 2009 it was on sale at christian bookstore and I couldn't put the book down. It was full of humour but really was a great book on spiritural growth. I would recommend this book to anyone into christian reading :)......more
