prayer...wow

There is an awesome yet tragically out-of-print book on prayer by Zacharias Tanee Fomum entitled The Way of Victorious Praying.

Wow.

I've only read one chapter and it is absolutely incredible!

Here is just a sample to whet any seeker's appetite:

Prayer is the art of a soul being lost in God-adoring and worshiping Him. It is the insistence that God's will, which has already been established in heaven, should be done. Prayer is the commitment of a believer to fulfill and to satisfy the needs of God. Prayer is the rail on which the locomotive of God's will moves.(Fomum, 1)

Wow.

We often relegate prayer to a banal give-and-take relationship between a doting God and a selfish "Christian."

Imagine such truths real-ized in a believer's life! A believer committed to fulfill God's will, to satisfy God's needs...

Wow.

I bet God himself would say Wow! about such a believer.
