Why Pray?: 40 Days--From Words to Relationship
"You hold in your hands a small book that has the potential to revolutionize your prayer life!  Yes, I know that countless volumes, some of them large, have been written on prayer, but this book is unique. First, it is practical. John DeVries does not answer all of our theological questions about prayer, but he is interested in helping us take seriously the exercise of faithful intercession. Second, this book stresses what we need to hear: the purpose of prayer is not so much to get answers from the Almighty as it is to have fellowship with the Almighty!  Third, the power of this book is demonstrated by the lifestyle and experience of its author. I was impressed by his simple commitment to prayer and how he was assured that God would respond.  And when I learned more about his missionary work in India, I realized that he was speaking about prayer from his own life and ministry. More recently, I had the priviledge of being with John at a Bible conference and hearing of the great advance of the Gospel through Mission India, founded by John. Once again, I was led to marvel at God's goodness in answering prayer as churches are being established throughout the land. Don't read this book in one setting; better to read a few pages and practice what you've read.  Remember, "Prayer Changes Things."Erwin Lutzer, Moody Church Chicago--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
