Book Review: He Wakens Me

Book Review of He Wakens Me: How to Pray When You Don’t Know What to Pray by Dr. Wesley E. Johnson

“I want to pray, really I do, I just don’t know what to say. Does God even listen to me?” Words I’ve heard repeatedly throughout many years of ministry. Words I’ve said myself a time or two, or more.

In his numerous years as a pastor, Dr. Wesley E. Johnson has also heard these comments, which urged him to share from his own personal prayer life, providing his readers a vivid account of how the power of prayer can and will change your life.  Filled with intimate examples and prayer practices, He Wakens Me opens a door to new dimensions in your dialogue with God and subsequently leads you to a deeper relationship with Christ, a more personal relationship.

You will learn the techniques of breath prayers and how to create them. Delve into the discipline of lectio divina (divine reading.) and discover how it will help you discern God’s plan for your life. Uncover the significance of praying in community. Recognize the importance of soul friendship and how having a soul friend to share your burdens with helps you through the toughest of times. You will be encouraged to apply these methods to your own spiritual routine thereby experiencing an individual encounter with the Savior.

Throughout Johnson’s book, you will find narratives from participants of API (Awakenings Prayer Institute) that validate Johnson’s teachings. Personal testimony of how Johnson’s methods worked for them. These accounts will encourage you to take that leap of faith and dive deeper.

He Wakens Me is your personal invitation to fully engage with God, heart and soul.
