Overview

When Jesus was faced with materialistic Temple worship, He declared, “My house will be called a house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13). Yet, most of today’s Christian world spends little time in prayer. From the Great Korean Prayer Revival of the early 20th century to today’s growing Korean churches, the 800,000 member Yoido Full Gospel Church, and famous Prayer Mountain, Korean Christians have been known for their deep dedication to prayer.

In Building a House of Prayer, Dr. Joshua Young-Gi Hong presents us with eighteen easy-to-follow prayer models to readers who want to approach the Throne of God.

Contents

• Biblical Prayer
• Relational Prayer
• Wishful Prayer
• Spiritual Development Prayer
• Holy Imagination Prayer
• Communal Prayer

Top Highlights

“The simplest definition of prayer is a personal meeting with God. It is a fellowship of love with the Lord. Prayer means enjoying time with the Lord.” (Page xix)

“An effective prayer needs self-control and training. This also requires an effective method.” (Page xxii)

“We must repent if our faith is lukewarm. Thus, we have to pray, ‘O Lord, please forgive me for having had lukewarm faith. I have lived the easy and comfortable life. Forgive me. I want to long for You from now on.’” (Pages xvii–xviii)

“We have to delve into the deep world of prayer to meet God.” (Page xxv)

“Scripture Prayer involves recitation of and meditation on Bible verses. Scripture Prayer leads us to pray correctly and gives strength to our prayer. The secret to praying well is to love the Word of God.” (Page 1)
