5.0 out of 5 stars A balanced Biblical approach to the subject of prayer, November 6, 1998

By	Michael Catt "puckett fan" (Albany, GA. USA) - See all my reviews

Prayer is often misunderstood. Ron Dunn takes this subject and gives deep insight on a layman's level. His understanding, personal and pastoral experience in the subject of intercessory prayer come through on the printed page. If anyone is interested in learning how to pray, when to pray, and what you can pray for, you need to read this book. Prayer can be misundestood and when it doesn't 'turn out' we can be disappointed. Ron Dunn carefully guides the reader through this subject and navigates difficult water. He takes issues that can be confusing and clears them up so we can understand. No library on prayer should be without this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prayer Power Proven, July 25, 2006

By	Suzanne Pearman "prayer warrior" (Oceanside, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is phenomenal. I've read a lot of books - GOOD books - about prayer. This tops the list. Ronald Dunn lays out prayer principles in a logical way that is easy to understand and to follow, and which has a solid foundation in the Word of God. He writes in a way that makes it easy to believe that prayer is real and works, AND that anyone can do it. He shows throughout the book that God want us to pray, but He also wants to answer us. Many people forget about that second half of the equation. He gives us reasons why we should pray - about anything and everything - and why God not only wants it but requires it of us before He will move in a specific situation.

This book will be instrumental to anyone who wishes to grow in their relationship with God and in their prayer life. I've already read it three times and found new nuggets of wisdom and understanding each time. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have - and grow in - an effective prayer ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is AWESOME!, May 31, 2005

By	Chris H. "soblessed" (,OH,U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

I just finished this book in the wee hours of morning.I absolutely could not put it down until I finished it! The author's personal accounts of his or his family's and others victories due to intercessory prayer will "Blow You Away"! I was reading Dutch Sheets book on intercessory prayer when I came across this one here on Amazon. As soon as I "looked inside" I just knew this would go into more detail and be easier to understand. I Thank God I was able to "look inside" and that I ordered it on the spot. I have yet to even finish the other one,LOL Anyway this book is just what you need if you want ammunition to become an effective "Prayer Warrior" I am amazed that there is only one review here. You all sure don't know what you are missing. This book had me in tears several times bcause of how it hits home how faithful God's promises are and how much He loves us to give us this power for victorious Christian lives. I love how he tells us that it is not about how "saintly we are",it is all about what Christ has already done.
