Review

This is one of those books that you could place with your daily devotionals and read slowly day by day as you meditate on the different names of God. I think it can be extremely useful in intercession in addressing God as the possessor of the attribute needed for the problem at hand. Sprinkled throughout the text are sample prayer outlines, such as found on page 142 entitled “Praying for Missionaries.” He offers 7 graces to pray for their work along with Scriptures. For instance, the first one is “Pray for the reality of the power of God to protect and equip His minister. Also, pray that the works of the evil one are destroyed. (I John 3:8)
