Me, Too, Tina. Me, Too I Need a Day to Pray is a collection of prayers written by Tina Campbell, known to most as one half of gospel music’s super-duo, Mary Mary. The prayers are a testament of her faith as she went through some of life’s toughest challenges – one of which played out on WE TV for many of us to see. Each “chapter” is a different prayer, allowing the reader to easily choose what they need for their soul at a specific moment. Accompanying her own words, Tina references Bible verses that provide both confirmation and affirmation of the prayer’s theme. This book feels somewhat like a quick reference guide of power scriptures that could be just what you need at any given time. It contains verses you may not have learned in your early days of Sunday School. These verses are ones you can appreciate and cling to once you’ve lived a little and been through some things. (Y’all know what I mean. Tap your neighbor on the shoulder and say, “Amen.”) If you need to be reminded of God’s presence in your life; if you’ve been betrayed by your spouse; if you are struggling to hear God’s voice over the devil’s taunting; or if you need a reminder that it is God who makes all things new, you will enjoy this read. It’s a Jesus-keep-me-near- the-cross kind of paperback that will easily fit into your work bag or large purse. Get it in your life.
