Review: "Mind over Mattress" a tip for all prayer warriors. - A good book for all prayer,whether individual or collective,an easy, comfortable read with many good pointers to effective prayer,especially for those who like to rise early in the morning to spend time with God before the hustle and bustle of the daily grind begins.I liked Mr Pawson's little quip about this early rising,maybe on a cold and rainy Winters morning with the rain battering on the window panes and the wind howling in the chimney while you are tucked up nice and warm and cosy in your bed.Mr Pawson puts it this way,when early morning prayer is favoured, it's all a matter of "mind over mattress",and this I think, is a very apt description of the willpower required to get out of a warm bed in the early hours,when all is still and quiet,prayer warriors indeed who indulge in this exercise. Anyway,all in all it is a very thought provoking and enjoyable read,and I have no hesitation in recommending it to those Christians who sometimes struggle with prayer,as we all do at times.
Review: A great book on prayer - I have only recently come to the works of David Pawson. Doubtless a man of great integrity and wide learning, I sometimes feel that he enjoys being controversal. He certainly brings out meanings and views that are not usually found elsewhere. Sometimes those views are plainly wrong, sometimes not terribly well thought out as to consequences, and sometimes possibly unhelpful to the Christian cause. However, this book is quite exceptional. It is easy to read and quite profound. I would encourage all Christians to read and apply what this author teaches. Fully recommended. Another superb book on prayer is the little known (at least in the UK) "Prayer: Asking and Receiving" by John R Rice (pub. Sword of the Lord). If unavailable on desertcart, buy direct from B McCall Barbour in Edinburgh.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book I've ever read
*by M***4 on 26 May 2021*

I didn't want this book to end. David pawson helps you get closer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit through prayer, I thought it was just going to be a prayer book but it tells you reasons your prayers are not being answered, where you might be going wrong and clear advice to help you solve problems of getting through to God, I feel like a better person for having read this book and would advise everyone wanting to get closer to the Godhead to read it
