Book: The Audacious Molly Bruno
About the book:
Meet Molly Bruno, the real-life prayer warrior who inspired the character Miss Clara; in the film War Room. Learn from Molly how to pray boldly, with audacity, believing that nothing is impossible for God. THE AUDACIOUS MOLLY BRUNO, written by her daughter MARIE ARMENIA, is a holy and hilarious mentoring resource for women who desperately long for wisdom from a Godly mother-someone who is a living example of practical experience and steadfast faith. It is also a wakeup call for older women of faith, encouraging them to embrace the calling of Titus 2:3-5 to mentor younger women about what's truly important in life.When I think of my mother's prayers, author Marie writes,I remember the prayer she prayed every morning without fail, 'Lord, please send someone my way today that I can tell about you.' Everyone (and I mean everyone) who met Molly Bruno fell in love with her. This includes the Kendrick Brothers, who wrote and directed the film War Room. During filming of the movie, they met Molly, calling her the modern-day Ms. Clara of War Room. She inspired them, just like she inspired everyone around her. When she prayed, she got answers. Molly lived a lifetime of believing she could boldly approach the very throne of God 'with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.' My mother didn't teach me how to pray any more than she taught me how to breathe. I saw her pray REAL prayers, using REAL words addressed to a REAL God. I learned by observing my mother's prayer life that the last thing on earth that should be edited is a prayer. Shameless audacity. Those words remind me of my mother's approach to prayer. She had no fear of God's displeasure or that He might scold her for asking for impossible things. She had no need to edit her heart to the One she loved. She knew He knew her heart. Having settled this between herself and God, she asked. And asked again. And got incredible answers time and time again.THE AUDACIOUS MOLLY BRUNO will teach you how to pray with fervent hope, deep joy and abiding faith.
My thoughts:
I finished this book a few weeks ago and needed to get my review posted. I had never heard of this book when I was asked if I wanted a copy for review. It took me a while to read it but it was a blessing in my life. What an amazing woman Mrs. Bruno was! I'm glad her daughter shared her mother with us through this book. She was a godly woman of prayer. I enjoyed the stories of her life and how God answered her prayers time and time again. Her example is a wonderful example and reminder that we serve a powerful God who listens to our prayers.
I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review.
Have a day of blessings!
