Mystically Wired Review

As my first book to review from Booksneeze, I chose Mystically Wired, Exploring New Realms in Prayer by Ken Wilson. I chose it because I want and need to focus more on my prayer life. The book is basically two sections. The first being very science based and research oriented. The second giving guidance and suggestions to put into practice in your prayer life.

I found the first section to be quite confusing. I am not a very science-oriented thinker, so some chapters were hard to comprehend. The second section was much better with the advice on developing your prayer life. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on worry, as this is something I deal with on a daily basis. The appendix is nice with all his suggestions outlined. Unfortunately for me, the book was challenging to read with some much science. I found it to be somewhat wordy, at times, to get to a simple point. It was almost as if you needed a summary of each chapter to understand what you just read. That’s probably why I appreciate the appendix so much. I will probably go back and re-read the second part and definitely put some of the suggestions offered into practice.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.
