The power of prayer has such a far reaching influence, yet it is one of the most overlooked resources in a Christian’s life. How many times have you felt the prompting to pray for a person or situation and ignore it? What blessing or need went unfulfilled because you didn’t? This book will certainly make you think about those times and being obedient to urging of the Holy Spirit. I found this book very encouraging, as it reminded me once again of how God is always watching over and caring for us. I found it inspiring and exciting to see how He uses our prayers to bring about wonderful and amazing events. These are true stories of how the Lord guided others to pray unbeknownst to them how important that prayer was to the care and protection of the person He brought to mind. I am remembered of one such time in my life. My husband was 37 and had suffered a heart attack. They were bypassing 3 bypasses he had done at 25. The surgery was long and a large number of people were in the waiting room with me. Everyone was visiting. Suddenly I had a powerful need to pray for him. I asked everyone to join me. I looked at the clock to see what time it was. Finally the doctor came out and told me my husband was fine and the outcome was far better than he had expected. Then he said, “Oh, there was one thing. When we took him off of the heart lung machine and shocked his heart, it wouldn’t start. We tried 3 times and were very worried, then the 3rd time it started.” I asked him what time that happened. And the time he shared was the exact time I had been felt the overpowering need to pray for him. This book is such a blessing. It made me happy to read the stories of God’s miraculous provision, and to always remember He does the same for me. I received a copy of this book free from Revell Publications. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

I liked these personal examples. I also liked the petitions at the end of the chapters. The prayers seem like ones I have needed in the past or might need in the future. The prayers are short. Although not lengthy, these prayers are also examples of praises to God, and they also point to our weaknesses, places in our lives that still need pruning. In one prayer, the person asks for God to use them in the lives of other people. Since I am one who likes many tiny bits of scriptural references in my book, this book is perfect. There are scripture references at the beginning of the chapter and throughout the chapter.
Since I liked the Bible translation used in Call to Pray, I wanted to know which Bible Linda Evans Shepherd used while writing the book. It took a while to find the translation. I wish the Bible translation had been easier to find and not in such small print. However, the Bible translation chosen made old scriptures look new and were far more easier to understand than the ones written in my present Bible. I am reminded of Romans 9:27-28. It is in the chapter entitled Name Tag Prayer.
I am left thinking of the Introduction. In Colossians 4:2, I spotted my idea of a three step plan: devotion, watchfulness and thankfulness. I am grateful to have been given this wonderful book of prayer with so many exciting examples of answered prayer. It has been a special gift during the Advent season. www.Call2Pray.com,
