Praise for the Print Edition
Elliff draws from his experiences as pastor, missionary and Christian statesman to show the incredible power of a praying life. In addition to dealing with current "hot" topics (i.e. prayer and fasting) Elliff's book is a "primer" on prayer. Of special interest to the reader will be the sections on prayer as it relates to such issues as "forgiving," "hard times," "reaching the unreached," "hurtful words," and "spiritual warfare." The book also gives a thorough treatment to the causes for delayed answers to prayer. Definitely a must read book for anyone interested in this critical area of the believer's life.
You can read the book cover to cover or look up a specific topic. This book will challenge you to move from where you are with your prayer life to a deeper more intimate experience with God. The thought questions at the end of each chapter are excellent. To get the most from this book each chapter should be studied. Take time to pray and talk to God about the questions asked at the end of each chapter. Great Book!
