From the book description: Author Berney K. Dorton has written Prayer Never Fails Especially During Trials to emphasize the spiritual strength and fortitude required to pray consistently - even in the face of considerable adversity. She vividly describes the tragic loss of her love ones, and how she cared for her sick child while addressing personal health issues and Berney's faith and fervent prayers helped her cope with the ordeal. The heart-wrenching story reminds us how precious life is and how quickly tragic events can transpire to change it. This book heightens people's awareness of the value of prayer and its infinite possibilities. Berney highlights prayer as the safe haven that she can always rely on and through faith, she is able to serve an invisible God who may not be perceptible by vision or understood by intellect, but who nonetheless guides us with His spirit through trials. Outside conflict and inside fears; represent trouble. Berney, has experienced both, but she faced the trials by prevailing in prayer.
This review was very difficult to write. I had a very tough time getting in to this book, and though it wasn't that long, it just wasn't for me. The first few chapters were a little choppy and just not my style. The stories told in the book are true, but for some reason I never felt emotionally involved in the book (if that makes sense).
I do believe the message is a good one, and I'm sure others may get more out of it than I did. The book does try and teach one how and when to pray....and Berney does seem to be one that can be constantly in prayer or "pray without ceasing". I do agree that we all need prayer and a close relationship with our Lord.
If one does not have at least some relationship with God, then I don't think you'd enjoy this at all. It is a Christian book and uses scripture to help teach prayer. If you are struggling with your faith and prayer, then this book may help and be of value.
