Publisher's Summary

"The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. (Proverbs 15:8) 

Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God’s infinite grace and power.

All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer; but we must use the key. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and since God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent. No one can stand against the person who knows how to pray, who meets all the conditions of prevailing prayer, and who really prays, and if they are willing to pay the price. The price is prayer, much prayer, much real prayer, prayer in the Holy Spirit.

Blessed by Godly Wisdom

RA Torrey has shaken me into realizing why I have led a powerless prayer life. Incredible wisdom.

More of an explanation on prayer

This was not quite what I was expecting, but it is good; the first part of the book talks more about the early revivals and how they brought people to the faith and the power that prayer has over everyone and everything. The narrator was good, but I had a hard time staying focused on the subject. Maybe I will try listening again in the future. I look forward to reading other reviews.
