This third book in the trilogy, TOUCHING GOD is suggested prayers to end your time of devotion. Each prayer encourages praise, confession of sins, and thanksgiving. The sins included in this book are from the many lists of sins scattered through the Bible, especially the New Testament.I left out requests so you can add your own personal needs and observations. I highly encourage you to pray a little bit for yourself and a whole lot for other people. Pray through your congregation's membership directory, a nearby school's lists of teachers, administrators and maintenance staff, stories from your local newspaper, lists of state and federal officials, lists of missionaries, names of your neighbors, etc. I dare you to pray for 50 people, 100 people, 500 people. You do not need to explain each person's needs. God knows them. If all you can do is bring their name before the throne of God, then do that.Set aside time every day for prayer. It may be all in the morning, all in the evening, or scattered throughout the day.May these prayers help you along the way to connect with your Maker, your God, the Lover of your Soul.The beautiful cover is an original by famed watercolorist Betsy Kemp Thompson.

Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Somalia, Jordan, Pakistan, Palestine, and Tajikistan. "They are my heroes," she declares.With a bachelor's degree in English, Bible and social science from Harding University and part of a master's degree in Bible, including Greek, from the Harding Graduate School of Theology, she also has a master's degree in management and human relations from Abilene University.
