It’s difficult to understate the impact this book has had on the culture of the Charismatic portion of Christ’s Body. Even if you have not read it, you have probably heard sermons inspired by this book. Teachings like this filter through the Church in more ways than mere book sales.

The Secret to a Powerful Prayer Life
Prayer seems to be a forgotten art in the lives of many Christians. All too often, Church prayer meetings go unattended or abandoned altogether and prayer closets are filled with cobwebs. What happened to prayer? I think I may have put my finger on what caused the flame to dwindle on the altar of prayer, and how we can reignite the fire.

Sarah came to the university where I minister this year. Excited to start a new adventure as a college student, Sarah was also hoping that her new adventure as a college student would change something.
