From the Back Cover
"You're in our prayers" has become a cliché, just a nice thing to say when we see someone struggling. But do we really understand the power of prayer?

God, God Almighty, God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, God the Beginning and the End, God the Source of all that is, God the Creator of man--the same God, in all His power and all His majesty, stops and listens when you pray. God has given mankind earthly license for heavenly interference.

Whether you know it or not, you have the authority to change the world through prayer. When God said, "Let man rule over all the earth," He was arranging the dominion of the world so that the partnership of man was essential for the accomplishment of His purposes. He causes things to happen on earth when men and women are in agreement with His will. Prayer is essential for God's will to be done on earth.

Through his unique perspective on this often-misunderstood subject, best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe takes the mystery out of prayer, providing practical answers for difficult questions about communicating with God.

All that God is--and all that God has--may be received through prayer. Everything you need to fulfill your purpose on earth is available to you through prayer.

The biblically-based, time-tested principles in this book will ignite and transform the way you pray. Be prepared to enter into a new dimension of faith, a deeper revelation of God's love, and a renewed understanding that your prayers can truly move the hand of God.

Customer Reviews

The Purpose and Power of Prayer
This is a very powerful book. If you have any questions about prayer or how to have your prayers answered, this is a good book to get.The thing I like most about Myles Monroe is that every thing he teaches is rooted in the Word of God. So far, all of the books I've read from Myles Monroe have been nothing less than highly motivational, educational, easy to understand and the best part is that he forces you to act on what your reading. I really belive God is working through this man.If your reading this review, GET THE BOOK! Trust me.It will be a blessing to you.

Extreemly Challenging
If you want to be challenged in your Christian life, read this book. It is not for the faint hearted. This is an in depth study that will make you search your soul before God. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper life with God.

The Handbook on Prayer
I like books that point you back to the Book. This book should be in the hands of every Christian. There are SO many misconceptions concerning the good and the bad in this world and what God "allows". Every believer needs an understanding, the intricacies of Biblical authority of the believer, of our responsibilities. Psalm 115:16 says, "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's; But the earth He has given to the children of men." The Will of God does not get done on earth by accident. FOR INSTANCE, it is not His will that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9). But yet many still do every day. God will not and does not force anybody to be born again. For your life to change you first have to surrender your authority over your life to His authority, your will to His Will.

The same is true in every facet of life. We have a God-given responsibility to yield ourselves as conduits to the manifest the plans and purposes of the Kingdom of God on earth. Jesus said, pray this way...."Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth just as it is in Heaven." Prayer truly is "earthly petition for heavenly interference".

I respectfully disagree with "auzzie wannabe". God does not operate outside of His Word. I understand their heart; the word "limit" comes across as a restriction or a vulnerable weakness. And his/her supposition is that this presents a conflict with God's all-powerful nature. But I also think there is an under-estimation of the power of the Word in that thinking. The use of the word "limit" simply means that God has created boundary lines, otherwise known as immutable LAW. For instance, there are things that God has limited Himself to do. He WILL NOT say one thing and then do another. That is a limitation.

God is all-powerful, but it is because of the integrity and oneness of his Word. Who He is, what He does and what He says all agree. God creates by the Word He speaks. Our salvation is TOTALLY wrapped up in the Word. "In the beginning was the Word". Seed, is what Jesus called the Word of God in Mark 4 and in Luke 8. And every creation/new creation begins with Seed. Everything begins with the Word, even a healthy prayer life.

Too many Christians go through life without a clue as to what or how to pray. So many get frustrated not knowing exactly what makes a fervent, powerful and effective prayer life. The principles taught in this book are powerful. They will teach the reader how to have a very effective prayer life. They will move the reader away from self-centered living to a God-centered focus, out of cold religion and into warm relationship with God. Myles Monroe wrote this at a 7th grade level, so it is easy to understand.

I only have one parting thought. These principles simply are not taught in mainstream denominational sects. So those things which you've never heard before, may SEEM way out there. But just because you've may have never heard these things, does not make it untrue. This book is Word based. So take my advice, chew the meat, and if you don't understand something, put it on the shelf for another time.

Be prepared for a life-changing experience.
