BOOK CORNER: New book encourages prayer,  writing, and family togetherness

By Marissa Wells

“Family That Prays Together Succeeds Together,” by Larry, Paris and Langston Rodgers, is a new prayer journal that testifies to the power of prayer and encourages readers to write their own stories.

“This 200-page journal is designed to emphasize the importance of prayer in a family dynamic, and how writing their prayers down can inspire readers to pursue their purpose and succeed in life,” said the Rodgers family.

The Rodgers are a family that does everything together and that led to the creation of their own book.

“Collectively, we just came together and all agreed that this would be a great opportunity to show what we believe in and show other families that it is important for the family unit to come together, and more importantly to come together and pray,” said Paris Rodgers, “and to do all things together and succeed together.”

Inside the book, readers will find about 45 scriptures specifically dedicated to the power of prayer. There’s also a prayer list where readers have space to make a written list of their own prayers.

“Family That Prays Together Succeeds Together” was written to inspire and will, no doubt, prove to be motivational for families of all backgrounds.

“I want this book to help others; I want people to be inspired to write and tell their story,” said Larry Rodgers. “So, for people to be able to see a beautiful, Black family doing this is a joy to my heart.”

Langston Rodgers’ favorite parts of the book are the scriptures.

“If I’m in a tough situation, I can just remember them and I can just pray them to God, and I know that all of my problems will be solved,” he said.

This is the first book that the Rodgers family has co-authored together. Readers can expect the Rodgers to produce more books collectively and individually.

In addition to being authors, the Rodgers family are entrepreneurs working in the entertainment and religious sectors. They also have a book publishing company FordWord Books. They are based in Los Angeles.
