It was the longest ride of Grace Swift's life. For nine hours she could think only about the excruciating task awaiting her: identifying the body of her youngest son. He had been a radical prayer warrior and Christian who placed his confidence in God despite his personal imperfections. But in a random act of murder, he was gunned down in his youth. Drawing upon her son's fervent commitment to Christ, Grace has crafted a message for all young Christians who want to change the world through prayer: Personal perfection is not a prerequisite for being used by Jesus. Confidence in His power within you will enable you to accomplish great things for Him. Grace will challenge you not to limit God because of your youth. She will build your confidence that through the Holy Spirit in you, you can live every day "on the offensive" and enjoy a mountain-moving, world-changing life of prayer.

Prayer can be wonderfully accessible to everyone. "In learning to pray, no laboratory is needed but a room, no apparatus but ourselves," Douglas Steere writes. Aware of how easily we can be intimidated by complex methods, Steere suggests that we begin by simply acknowledging our dependence on God. Prayer comes as a response to a God who "besieges us with love," he says. In Dimensions of Prayer, Steere answers common questions and concerns about prayer. Among the topics covered are petition, confession, adoration, intercessory prayer, and how to cope with dry times in prayer. This easy-to-read book offers new "pray-ers" an engaging introduction to prayer while providing valuable wisdom for mature Christians.
