Excellent and Inspiring

In the opening chapter we're told "...the power of genuine prayer can result in incredible, miraculous happenings that can only be explained in supernatural terms" (p. 14). He firmly establishes the theme of the book in this chapter by describing the delight found in communicating with God. He even has some provide things to say about language itself. Several instances of answered prayers are used to illustrate the point being made about prayer being effective.The second chapter opens with a challenge. He encourages readers to seek solitude in the country and listen in prayer. He cites Cornelius in the Bible as one who listened in prayer and as a result received awesome answers from God.This chapter also has a wonderful analogy in describing a baby's early attempts at communicating. He says an earthly father is delighted at the attempts and works with the baby through the early stages of development. He says God is like that in our attemtps at commuicating with Him. He adds that God wants to communicate with us and if we put forth the effort we will we rewarded.In chapter five a strong case is made for the practicality of prayer. He cites a list of people who were achievers, who made a significant difference in their generation who prayed a lot.He advocates praying with an open Bible. This goes along with what other writers have said on this subject.Another familiar theme is found in chapter six, being persistent in prayer. He reminds us that Jesus Himself taught this principle.In chapter seven he reminds us that God wants the best for us so we shouldn't fear His will for our lives.Proverbs instructs us on how to live prosperously. He adds that if God didn't want us to succeed, He wouldn't have included those instructions in the Bible.This book is packed full of insights on the pray life from a man who has the credibility to write such a book. Buy it, read it, practice it. It's awesome!
