I don't know why some books become hot sellers in local Christian bookstores, while others remain hidden. I suspect part of it has to do with quality, but part of it also has to do with marketing.I have never seen Duewel's work in a Christian bookstore. I only stumbled onto his works within the past few years and then at the recommendation of a pastor friend.Duewel is one of the deepest authors I have ever read on the subject of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, and on prayer, and on spiritual power. Read everything you can find by this man.
Mighty Prevailing Prayer is a fantastic read! It explains in detail what must done in order to gain the answer in prayer. It, and The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer are two of the most comprehensive volumes I've ever read on prayer. If you want to know the secrets of how to prevail with God, and over satan, then this book is a must have; it comes highly recommended!!!
I have a large library of commentaries but of the practical books I own there are more on prayer than any other subject. There are many great books on prayer but it has been my experience that reading books on prayer seldom causes one to pray. Duewel's book on prayer will make you stop and pray long before you get to the end. As I think of all the great Christians who have written on prayer - i would still say this is the best inspirational and practical book I have found so far. Buy it, read it, and pray.
This is the first book I have read on prayer. It covers so many topics that I do not feel I need to read any further books on this subject. Look at it's table of contents and you will see what I mean. Even though it is very comprehensive it is also easy and enjoyable reading.
I first got this on Kindle then after reading 10% sent off for the paperback to be able to mark up and keep as a reference. While only a third of the way through already it has drastically changed my prayer life and my walk with God. I never understood what praying in the Spirit meant nor how to do that. It seemed New Agey or Charismatic and nothing could be further from the truth. This is well explained in this book. I can see now how selfish and sinful my prayer life had been and why I was reluctant to pray. This book is well grounded in scripture and I realized I didn't have to reinvent the wheel on how to pray. Mr Duewel, who is 97 years old, and still working strong for the Lord, has written, hands down, the best book I have ever read on prayer. I hope to lead a Bible study using this book. I also stay deep in Bible study using the Believer's Bible Commentary. Both books have been invaluable in deepening my walk and understanding of the Bible and my walk with the Triune God.
I just finished reading this book; it was given to me as a gift many years ago. All I can say is that if one is *truly* seeking the Lord and is *ready* to take on the burden and work of prayer, it is a must read. Truly in these days, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.", (Matthew 9:37)It's the first book that I've read that I've become reluctant to lend to other simply because I know I will need it as a prayer guide and reference; I'd rather buy those who want to borrow my copy their own copy!
This book holds the secret to the kind of life that pleases God. Nothing else we do is as important as the work of prevailing prayer from a holy heart. Reccommend to all who desire to serve God in a way that will delight Him.
I really enjoy many books on Christian prayer. I have books on prayer and this one stands out as one of the best that I've read. Wesley Duewel does a great job defining prayer, encouraging prayer and helping to motivate you to take advantage of the wonderful privilege of prayer. Throughout the book Wesley uses many quotes from well-known Christians and encouraging stories to help illustrate his points. I also own and have read Duewel's other book on prayer "Touch the World Through Prayer". Although both books are very good, I liked this one a little better out of the two. This book had so much substance and encouragement, that I definitely plan to read it more than once. Highly recommended.
