Review: Prayer Never Fails: Especially During Trials by Berney K. Dorton




I must admit the title of the book sparked my interest in the beginning, but after reading the synopsis I was really looking forward to reading this book. I could not have received this book at a better time. Not to mention, I could relate to many of the tragic events she shared. Therefore, it left me anxious and a little nervous to receive this book because of the many different emotions I was already dealing with.

Prayer Never Fails has 14 Chapters and is an easy and quick read. Although, I would recommend you taking your time and really digesting every scripture and story that is shared.  I found myself reading a few chapters more than once and crying during some. Also, every chapter begins with a scripture mainly taken from the New International Version (NIV).

Often times when we are going through trials we feel like giving up but Mrs. Dorton reminds us to continue to pray and have faith regardless of the circumstances. “Prayer should be our initial response instead of our last-ditch effort.”  She highlights five reasons to pray.


        1.       Pray to confess and confront the sin in our lives.
        2.       Pray to thank God for His blessings.
        3.       Pray to develop intimacy with God.
        4.       Pray for cleansing and restoration.
        5.       The righteous prayers availeth much.


I liked the concept of her using real life stories as examples of different trials she faced to insure the readers they are not alone and she is not exempt. Everyone will go through many different trials in life but with continuous prayer we will make it through.

I believe others could genuinely benefit from reading this book because it will encourage them to continue to pray while going through tough circumstances.
