The Prayer of Revenge
Doug Schmidt
Cook Communications Ministries
Paperback.
ISBN: 0781439426
Review by Louise Bergmann DuMont (Read Louise's bio)
I have always believed that not every book is meant for every reader. The Prayer of Revenge may very well be the exception to this rule. If you live and breathe – you need the insight that its author, Doug Schmidt, shares.
All humans struggle with issues of anger, resentment and sorrow. The Prayer of Revenge is filled with practical instructions for getting past our misdirected desire for revenge while it helps the reader heal and perhaps… move toward restoration. I've read other books where problems are analyzed and issues are tossed back and forth, but never have I found a book that so beautifully provides a sensible way to move past our destructive feelings and the ungodly behaviors that often result from them.
This book allows its reader to apply scriptures while taking into account the intensity of the feelings that accompany hatred and revenge. There is no finger pointing or condemnation – simply compassion and direction from the Word of God. The Prayer of Revenge is applicable whether the reader is dealing with severe trauma (rape, adultery, molestation, death of a child), global issues (terrorism, fear) or more personal issues (backstabbing coworkers, slandering neighbors). It can also be used as a manual to guide and minister to other wounded individuals.
Schmidt treats the harshest of subjects with enormous sensitivity and uses appropriate humor to make his book not only practical but enjoyable. If you've ever felt the heat of anger creep up your neck, you will find this book a soothing balm for your soul. I could not put it down until I devoured the last word.
