Will Davis Jr.

The author did a magnificent job showing us that the Bible is a prayer's guide and we should pray as a lifestyle.
Accuracy matters. His concept of BHAP (Big Hairy Audacious Prayer) is well explained through personal examples.
Dr. Davis talks about the importance of praying not only for others, but for ourselves, our spouse, our children. According to him, more people will seek God if we learn to pray big, strong and confidently.
He tries to put to the ground old wrong concepts like "God's too busy", or "My prayer is too insignificant to merit God's attention", or "Praying about little things is selfish".
This book gives prayer advices for every situation. It completely changed my view on prayers. We need to focus on the details. We really need to learn how to pray big.
Definitely this is a very important book to have if you want to take God seriously and if you want to create a relationship with God that will take you to another dimension of spiritual life.

This book was published in 2007 by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group and the team on The B&B Media Group was kind enough to send me one copy for review.

NCLA Review - Author Will Davis, Jr., founder and senior pastor of Austin Christian Fellowship in Austin, TX encourages the transformation of faith and life with pinpoint praying for yourself. His major emphasis is that seeking God’s perspective, priorities, pardon, provision and protection in your life is not selfish. As Davis points out, “Jesus believed and taught that if we would pray these requests for our lives, we would find ourselves living in the middle of God’s will and honoring his kingdom.” He suggests pin point praying for courage, for a generous spirit, for a guarded mouth, for obedience response time, and for the gift of irrelevance. He suggests and describes the use of the Bible to discover pin point prayers. In addition, he explains how spiritual breathing, fasting and worship can enhance and focus pin point praying. Challenging and thoughtful reflection questions for each chapter are included. Rating: 4¬ —MN… (more)

NCLA Review - The author, senior and founding pastor at Austin Christian Fellowship in Texas, responds to the idea in popular culture that Christianity is irrational and for the mentally dull and gullible. He addresses the question: “Has science invalidated the need for faith?” and suggests that belief “is more rational than the randomness of life” as implied in Darwinian and humanist theories. He points to nature as the revelation of God, Jesus as God’s self-portrait, and the historical documentation and durability of the Bible, stating that “Faith is actually the principles of reason—knowledge and experience—taken to their appropriate next levels.” His arguments are well-developed and thoughtful, and readily understandable. Believers who seek to express their faith when confronted by non-believers will likely find this a helpful reference. Rating: 3—MN… (more)
