A wonderful book on prayer

Next to the Bible itself, this is probably the best book I have ever read on prayer. (That is not to say that there may not be better books out there, but I have yet to come across them.) The insight in this book really sheds some wonderful light on various Biblical passages on the subject. This text will enhance your understanding of Scripture and the manner in which God works. And most importantly, it will prompt you to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, and it offers some wonderful insight in how to do so. I bought copies of this book for my entire family at Christmastime. This book is sure to be a blessing for all who read it.

Power in a small package

I've had this book for several years and have loaned it to several friends. One friend said at first she thought it was just another book about prayer, but was really impressed by the depth of it. This book covers why we pray, and how we should pray. It is also about entering into God's plans through prayer and how God waits for us to join with him through prayer to see his plans come about.

Efficacious Techniques for Christian Prayer

I give this book a very high rating due to the fact that Watchmen Nee provides us with so much useful information to help us in our daily walk with Christ. 'Let Us Pray' makes the basics of prayer available to us so that we may come to God with effective and fervent prayer. Watchman Nee expresses the importance of knowing what we Christians have to deal with daily so we may conquer the opposition and allow Gods will to prevail on earth. This book is essential for anyone who calls himself a follower of Christ ; it is also rewarding to anyone who wishes to sharpen their effectiveness in the dimension of prayer.

The Science of True Prayer

Watchman Nee succinctly explains the privilege and science of true prayer. He doesn't present his own ideas...his presentation is that of what the Word of God reveals in this matter. This is a powerful little book that give you the tools needed to approach God in prayer with confidence.

Gave me faith to allow God to let his will be done.

Let us pray did more than go beyond explanation of the Lord's prayer. It gave understanding that one needs above all to pray for the will of God to be done and to pray according to that perfect will. If our prayers are not answered in the way we think they should, it may be because we ask amiss. Watchman Nee sheds new light on our inner soul, as we reach out to God in prayer. We no longer cry out, "gimme, gimme". We set aside our wants and ask him by his Spirit to pray through us. We need not only to ask that God's will be done, but believe that as God's will is done, that we have overcome the enemy. The enemy gains nothing when the perfect will of God is accomplished. When our prayers line up with God's perfect will, we are being instrumental in ushering in the Kingdom of God. We set Jesus on his rightful throne, King of kings and Lord of lords. Let our prayer be, "Even so, Lord Jesus, come."
