The Front Line: A Prayer Warrior's Guide to Spiritual Battle (edition 2012)

Vice Chair John Bornschein of the National Day of Prayer Task Force collected the writings of this book to inspire 'prayer warriors' with creative, novel approaches to thinking about believing (rather than ceremonial) prayer. He wrote 7 chapters himself, co-authored another, and used individual chapters from 4 others.

The 5 points at the start give a good idea what he has in mind throughout the book. After walking logically through one's absolute dependence and reliance upon God, point 4 urges the praying believer to urge God to work AT salvation IN the world in which we find ourselves for, left to entropy, things are definitely going downhill in a very evident way.

Many of us can think of some very real ways that life is not good because of the entropic processes which so many of us allow to continue, but the hope of salvific intervention from Outside is one that seems far outside the domain of what we have come to expect - precisely why the believer may think that the kind of Help we REALLY need must COME from Beyond.

If you really want to be challenged about how to pray, pick up this book. The language is direct and moving and gets right to the point. While I would not read this on a summer at the beach, if you're serious about learning to communicate with God and call down fire from the Holy Spirit, start reading. It's not only interesting, it's powerful information that will help you in your walk with God. ( )

Had a lot of great info,and I enjoyed reading the different authors take on prayer. I hoped I can apply some new techniques to my prayer life as well. ( )

I won this book through Librarything.

This book is for anyone wanting to start praying, but aren't sure how. Even people who have been praying for years will appreciate how the authors explain the fundamentals of prayer.

1. Why do we pray?
2. How should we pray?
3. When and where do we pray?
4. How will we know God's answer?

The authors write well thought out and easy to read text. They back it up with biblical scripture. I have been remiss in my prayers lately, but this book helped to bring me back to the proper etiquette for conversing with my Lord. ( )
