Refreshing and easy to read without being condescending. The author gives lots of anecdotes including her own failures at times, and shares the simple power of prayer. She demonstrates how unforgiveness or sin can close the 'channels' to God, and challenges people to pray simply and in faith. Appropriate for men as well as women!

Re-read nearly 14 years later, and appreciated just as much. Thought-provoking. ( )

This was a great book it taught me a lot about prayer.

I was prompted to read this book when I heard Mrs. Christenson on the Revive Our Hearts podcast. Prayer plays a major role in my life so I was very excited to read this book. Mrs. Christenson laid out some simple yet effective ways to approach God in prayer.

The book starts out with Mrs. Christenson being petitioned by Crusade of the Americas to observe what happens when women pray for six months. Initially, they wanted to pray for their church but God impressed on them Psalm 66:18,"If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." This was their conditioning period. God worked miraculously during that six month period! In this book we learn to pray on one accord, pray God's will, and the prayer method of the six S's. An important fact that she explains so beautifully is that we must pray the request and NOT the answer to God. Most of all I enjoyed the praise reports from the prayer requests and the establishment of telephone prayer chains.

I really enjoyed this book and Mrs. Christenson's approach to prayer. It has encouraged me to seek God the more in prayer and believe He will answer! ( )
