An Awesome Study of Prayer

This book is a must have for any Christian's library or study resources. The study in prayer and how to become effective in prayer is excellent. The book will certainly change your view on prayer and your prayer life if it's principles are applied.

could you not tarry

This book is full of revelation on the subject of prayer.It will give anyone from someone who cannot pray for five minutes to the most seasoned prayer warrior new insight to prayer that really does change things.I have read several books on this subject.What I like about this particular book is that you can actually see the writer has a true heart for prayer.He isn't just writing about prayer,he is writing about a passion.I hope this will help someone as they look at this book.I would suggest in addition to this book reading also RELEASING THE PRAYER ANOINTING by Dr.Lea. MAY GOD BLESS YOU

An excellent, effective study on prayer

Prayer is key to a successful relationship with God. I read this book 15 years ago when it first came out (in the workbook form and video). It changed my life! The study on the Names of God helped me in worship. As I began to understand the different aspects of Jehovah God (i.e. Jehovah Tsidkenu - Jehovah is our Righteousness - He has made us righteous through Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. He no longer sees our sin, but only the Blood of the sacrifice, Jesus, who pays the price, makes us righteous and which allows us into the presence of a holy and pure God), worship songs came alive for me as they express the many aspects of God to us. Take the time to go through this book and watch your life in God mature!

Could You Not Tarry One Hour

I read the book several years ago and found it to be a wonderful study plus it's a marvel when you use it in your prayer life. I have been hunting this book to read again and to give as a gift and haven't been able to find it. So glad to know it's still available. Thank YOU

Is your spiritual life BORING?

Excellent book on prayer and its far-reaching influence. Well-written with some humor. Recommended for middle-of-the-road Christians who need a boost up the spiritual ladder. If you're stuck in a spiritual malaise, resolve to begin a regular prayer routine.
