Revival Praying An Urgent Call

Leonard Ravenhill does not mince words. He is a man with a heart after God's heart. This books has been written from a place of prayer. It is not a book of theory but of experience. I recommend this book for anyone and everyone who has ever had the urge to pray more. I believe we should read it and reread it until prayer has become a driving force in our lives. Let's heed the prophets call and step into the place of prayer a place where we can sense God's heart and lead changed lives for the kingdom. "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

From Chadwick to Tozer to Ravenhill to.....

REVIVAL PRAYING is one of the best books on prayer. In fact, I would rate it just a bit ahead of Leonard Ravenhill's best known book, WHY REVIVAL TARRIES?. The book focuses not on revival as much as prayer. It is Ravenhill's firm belief that we lack a true sense and awe of God's holiness and majesty because we don't pray (Luke 18:1). Despite the church being very active in politics, programs, and everything else under the sun, the average church's prayer meeting is either non-existent or lacking. For example a local church near me boasts in their 500 members but only 6 usually come to their prayer meeting. How sad! If you are a weak, defeated, sinning, dead in your sins, no hunger for God "Christian" then please don't read this book on prayer. Try a lighter book such as Bill Hybels' TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY but don't read any books by Tozer, Wesley, Ravenhill, M'Cheyne, Morgan, Torrey, or any other of the older saints of God (Colossians 4:2; 1 Thess. 5:17; James 5:16). These books are not books on HOW to pray but are written to encourage those who DO pray (Matthew 7:7-11; Luke 11:1; Acts 2:42; Romans 12:12).

Put this next to your E.M. Bounds collection

This is one of Ravenhill's better books, and is a great treatment on prayer. Though I don't think this book quite takes hold of you as his masterpiece "Why Revival Tarries." However, it is still a great book on prayer that all would do well to have on their shelves, after having heavily read it and underlined it. Oh yeah, don't forget to put into practice what you read in this book, otherwise, you will have not gotten anything out of it.

A powerful volume that will change your prayer life!

This book, like all the others by this author has a powerful message that will stir you to the depths of your being. Len Ravenhill was a man most intimate with God. His manner of writing is biting at times, and frequently harsh. But it is never arbitrary harshness. It is inspired and inspiring. The harshness is from the raw conviction that the words convey. Clearly this, like Bro. Len's other books, is yet another message from the throne.

Actually, I give this book 6 stars!

I consider Leonard Ravenhill to be my spiritual grandfather. He discipled most of the men who discipled me. To say that Bro. Len was outspoken on the subjects of prayer and revival would be a gross understatement. Much more than writing on the subject, he was a man of much prayer. Pick up this book today, or any book he's written for that matter, and get ready to be challenged and convicted!
