This is a life-changing teaching on the simplicity of having a powerful prayer life. A prayer life with God isn't complex, but sometimes not knowing how to start can be enough to make a person turn away altogether. In The Essential Guide to Prayer, you'll discover that the starting point is to find your motivation for prayer in the power of love by forming a solid relationship with God as Father and friend. As Dutch Sheets lays the foundation for your motivation to pray, he challenges you to reflect with "Did You Understand?" questions at the end of each chapter. Dig deeper into the core of your prayer life by learning to pray effectively both alone and in groups, and by persisting in prayer until you see God's answers.
As soon as my husband and I finished the book, I knew that my 90 year old prayer partner and friend would Love this book. I took it to her the day we finished it. I received a call from my friend today; she had just finished the last chapter. She was in tears, as I was when we finished the last chapter. She said she's never been more blessed by a book (other than THE BOOK). She wants four more copies for her, in house, Ladies Bible Study Group. GREAT BOOK!!!
This book is illuminating! It truly is essential to encourage your relationship with God, your walk with Jesus, and your talk with Holy Spirit. I am a slow reader, so I am reading it over again to make sure I make more connections between deep concepts, and I think I will read it a third time, so I really can follow through with the paga intercessory prayer concept. I believe this guide is so illuminating because It is divinely and scripturally inspired. There are apostolic scriptural underpinnings that glow through the pages:) Thank you Dutch, Ceci, Deana and everyone at Dutch Sheets Ministries for being such good teachers:)
