Great Book

Dr. Ogilvie tells us that prayer starts with God. It is a two-way process involving listening, not just speaking. "In prayer, He makes known to us what is His will so that we can ask for what He longs to give" (p. 15) Ogilvie writes. Throughout the book he tells us of discoveries he has made. On page 33 we're told "I have discovered that thanksgiving prepares me to commit all my problems and needs to the Lord." The role of meditation in prayer is discussed. Dr. Ogilvie says God speaks through: the Scripture, our thoughts, and our inner feelings (p. 35). When it comes to hearing God, he notes "we are given wisdom and insight we could not have achieved by ourselves" (p. 36). Faith is added to the mix as he asks "have we planned our life so cautiously that we're not attempting soul-sized challenges which only His power could help us achieve?" (p. 45). Prayer causes us to be transformed by beholding God he tells us. Praying for other people is our responsibilty as intercessors. Chapter 5 is devoted to that topic. This book will help a person to grow spiritually. It is instructive and encouraging.
