5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on prayer ever, January 28, 2000

By 

Kofi Asare - See all my reviews

This review is from: Touch the World Through Prayer (Paperback)

I have read this book three times and very soon, I will read it again for the fourth time. I have quite a collection of books on prayer in my personal library, but without a doubt, this is the best ever. Remember that no book in this world will ever teach how to pray, you have to do that yourself, but this books challenges and encourages you to pray. If you are sick and tired of praying weak and ineffective prayers, then this is the book for you. After you read this book, you will not run out of things you want to pray about. It is full of good suggestions about prayer. It challenges you to a new level of intercession (praying for others). I would highly recommend it for anyone serious about developing a strong prayer life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate Plea For Prayer, April 21, 2005

By 

Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" (Lexington, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Touch the World Through Prayer (Paperback)

Wesley Duewel's book is a passionate plea for prayer to be the heart of the child of God (1 Samuel 12:23). The world is lost without Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and we must take the gospel into every nation (Matthew 28:19-20). How can we accomplish this goal? How can we reach 700 million Muslims, 1 billion Catholics, 500 million Hindus, 300 million Buddhist, and many more like Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, agnostics, atheists, and other religious groups? Simple: through the power of prayer.

Duewel's book will lead you to see the power of prayer. You will see how God can use your intercessory prayers to touch the nations. The Western Church is depending far too much on her money, fame, technology, etc. to carry the gospel but we must see that the power of God comes first when we humble ourselves and pray (Acts 1:14; James 4:10). May we truly be disciples of Jesus and touch the world through mighty praying (Luke 11:1-13).
