Judson Cornwall does an excellent job of explaining that our conversations with our Heavenly Father should be a RESPONSE to what He has already said. As we delight ourselves in the Lord and in His Word, He will place His desires in our hearts (Psalm 37:4). If we abide in Him, and His Word abides in us, we will ask whatever we desire and it shall be done for us (John 15:7).

It would be prudent to read this book at least once a year.

Judson Cornwall's book is a challenge to pray the Scriptures. Cornwall offers easy to follow chapters on the power and purpose of praying the Bible directly back to God. Cornwall doesn't misuse the text to force God to act but rather he sees the Bible as God's promises to believers and we are to act upon those promises (2 Cor. 1:21).

Cornwall balances his chapters with much Scripture and with personal illustrations to help the reader grasp the importance of his principles.

This a book that every praying disciple should read and study.

A pastor at my church loaned me her copy of the book, but at the time I was not ready to read it. I was later urged by a good friend and bishop to read it from cover to cover, so I did. If asked what I think, you have to be spiritually ready to read it and once you do it is well worth it. I recommend it to babies in Christ who are seeking to better understand the how important praying with spiritual authority and power is and that only through putting God in rememberance of His word and His promises will doorways open up where you hear from God and obtain better understanding of His will for your life. It is my desire to read it again, this time in conjunction with the bible and I suggest you do too.

Prayer and the Word of God have long been very important to me.
I had hopes that this would be a practical book on Scriptural prayer.
The content is introductory and it repeats comments often.
It doesn't give new or helpful prayer tips and it has only a few sample Scriptural prayers.
I don't recommend buying it.

This book is very informative for those who does not study the bible as a Christian. This book directs us to the Bible and the Bible is what we need. Great in my Christian walk.Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice
