This is a very good book about how to pray, how long to pray and overall I found it helpful. I loved the scripture references very much. This has been soon meaningful for my prayer life.

I gave this book 4 stars, very good.

Have just finished the book Do Greater Things by Robby Dawkins  which I received from it's publisher Creation House. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in building up your confidence and faith in praying effectively for the sick and hurting. It reminds me very much of the books I read early in my faith walk over 45 years ago by Charles and Francis Hunter. They made praying for the sick seem so obvious and natural that everyone should be involved in doing it and expecting that God would indeed answer.

This is less a book about the theology of healing prayer and more about examples from the ministry of Mr. Dawkins that demonstrate the practical applications of how praying for the needs of others can be accomplished. Here are a few things that are talked about which resonate with me. And this is how I interpret them.

The first is that God has given us the authority to pray for the needs of others in Jesus name. That means that because we are a representative of Christ we can speak directly to the condition ourselves. Our prayer then does not say something like - Oh God, please heal this person's leg - but instead goes more like - I command that leg to receive divine healing now (in the name of Jesus). The same stance would be used in dealing with evil spirits. We must use the authority we have been given based on what Jesus has already done for us.

The second is that we should be interested first in the person and second in the condition they have. And if we are interested in the person then we engage them in finding out what hurts where. After they identify their level of pain we pray and then check to see if there has been any improvement and to what level. Then we keep at it until complete healing or until it's obvious there is no more that can be done at that time.

And the third thing that stood out to me is that although everyone does not have the gift of healing every Christian does have the authority of Christ in them to pray for others with some success. Many times we do not ask others if we can pray for them because of the fear of being in some way rejected by that person.

This book brings out two things here. One is that almost all people appreciate it when someone asks if they can pray for them. If nothing happens they really don't get upset or think less of God. Two is that although it is our responsibility to pray it is God's responsibility to effect the authority He has given us. Our faith is in who God is, trusting that He loves both us and the person we are praying for.

Again, this is an easy read which is both faith building and action inducing.

I wanted to learned to prayer in a more meaningful way. The most most important thing that I learned was, in praying, to do the will of the Lord; and to do so with the intent to glorify his holy name. Sometimes, it is easy to forget to keep it simple. Let the Holy spirit work in your heart. pray increasingly. God is eager to answer his children's players.

I was really impressed with this book. Moore's book is not a how to pray book so much as it is a challenge for us to pray regularly  four times a day. She arrived at the four times after hearing about Brother Lawrence praying eight times a day. She thought half of what he did would be a good start.

She is very honest in her growing the the practice of praying this way. She developed her habit in fits and starts, sometimes quitting altogether. She started with fifteen minutes of prayer four times a day. She thought it might be really difficult but prayer is what we are made for.

Moore explains her various methods of prayer. Sometimes she prayed prayers from saints through the ages. Sometimes she prayed Scripture. Sometimes she would sing hymns. She used various body postures and different locations. She explains how taking tiny steps in self-discipline served her well. She gives several suggestions for ways to pray and helps us understand how to hear from God and distinguish His ideas from our own.

I found her section on memorizing Scripture to be especially enlightening. I also liked her reasons for writing out our prayers. I was challenged by her writing about functional theology.

You will be convinced of the importance of prayer and challenged to make it a priority. You will see that we are meant to be abiding, working, and resting in our Savior, with every thought and impulse trained on Him.

This book is a challenge and I highly recommend it.

Food for thought: Prayer is, most simply put, being consciously in the presence of God.
For saints, prayer comes first. It just does.
We must make God our habit, till he becomes our dwelling place. God is not someone we visit.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher for the purpose of an independent and honest review.

The author is a seminary classmate of mine and we happened to be serving the Lord of the Church in the same geographic area for a number of years.  Thus I not only welcomed his prayer book, but I also scrutinized it (as we professionals are won't to do) with a theological eye.  Arlo is using a pattern that John Baillie used a number of years ago--thus the word "Echo" in the title--and he has succeeded in being true to that original intent, I believe.  Now, note this: each prayer occupies one page, and a facing page is blank so that pray-ers may pray with pen in hand and make notes about their intentions--people, causes, congregations, govs etc.  It's a useful tool for whoever would be seriously in prayer for our world.

If you are a person of prayer and the Bible reading is part of your daily life, then this book is a must read. The author has much to teach you in this area and to this day the prayers in this book have become the prayers of my daily life.

If you want to go beyond surface praying then I would recommend this book. This book will train you on how to pray against the enemy and take authority.

Prayers are a daily talk with The Lord,  a guideline to praying.

Good first prayer book to help little ones who aren't sure what to say when praying and to show them how they can say prayers any time of day, not just before bed.

Prayers that are as rich sermons, passionate, and filled with Scripture. A great tool for learning to pray.

I'm not sure what I thought I would learn, but I have to say that if people "know' the Bible, and have been a part of Bible studies and prayer groups, the answers are right in front of them. Going to the Throne Room filled with faith and love, and a "knowing" that God loves each one of us, and wants only the best for each of us, is in my book, step 1 to answered prayer. If we have the heart of a little child........that's all we need !
