About Before the Throne
God’s people know they can turn to Him when times get tough. Instead of trying to fix things on our own, we can enter God’s throne room in prayer. The access granted to us by Jesus our High Priest is our comfort when the world is turned upside down. In Before the Throne, Crickett offers eight prayer warriors from Scripture who turned to God when times became difficult. You’ll learn to pray with:
· Moses in times of disappointment
· The Psalmists in times of need
· Jonah in times of disobedience
· Hezekiah in times of battle
· Habakkuk in times of questioning
· Jesus in a time of intercession
· Paul in times of hardship
· Revelation saints in times of worship
As you study these prayers, you’ll be strengthened as you see how these godly Bible characters poured out their hearts to God and how He responded to them. You’ll learn how to pray with the same power when you feel weak, helpless, stressed, or afraid. As you turn your focus toward God’s character through prayer, He will supply the strength you need to face whatever is before you.

My thoughts:
I enjoy using books to help me study God's word. I am happy to share with you today a new to me author (Crickett Keeth) and her new study called Before The Throne.
The message of this book feels timely for the issues and troubles facing all of us today. We all have so much happening. This study looks in depth at a few examples from the Bible who faced difficulties and how they used prayer in their lives. We can apply this to our lives now.
I do like the lay out of this study. I like how each week focuses on a different person. There are 5 days of study for each week. The questions she asks are thoughtful and deep. Some answers are easily found in the pages of the biblical text but some do make you dig a little deeper, which I appreciate. Finally, I like the appropriate quotes from others that are spread randomly throughout.
I have not completed the full study yet, but I am enjoying it as I go. This will be an author I will watch in the future as well due to this study. Check out this Bible study to do with your friends or on your own.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. Thank you.
