7. Resource Reviews have two parts
 Do a listing first. The listing that tells the facts about a
resource – author/artist, title/name, features/contents and
where to get it.
 Do a review second. After the listing appears, add a review that
tells what you liked about the product, what you learned or
gained, how you used it and make recommendations about who
would like it.
 Each item is only listed once but may have an unlimited
number of reviews.

8. Writing Tips
 Stay positive. Recommend don’t critique. We’re looking for
good things you want to recommend. We’re not looking for
critiques. Tell about a book that helped you and why.
 We only list products on Christian prayer. Please do not list
any books that deal with prayer methods of other religions.
 Focus on prayer content. We include books that may be:
 a) on another subject, such as grief, but they have a chapter or
two relevant to prayer
 b) a personal life story where prayer played some role
 c) a devotional book that can be used for prayerful meditation
 d) a book on some part of prayer such as spiritual warfare,
confession, praise and thanksgiving.

9. List and review classics, old favorites from your
bookshelf as well as new books and products.
Prayer books stay relevant. We have much to learn
from books written in ages past by saints and
theologians, books written by previous generations
as well as the latest books dealing with prayer in
modern life.
