Publisher's Description
We can know that if we pray, some outcomes will be different than if we do not pray because God made many promises conditioned on whether we ask. These promises relate to a galaxy of concerns and needs that are important to us and God, such as faithfully serving God and experiencing his blessings in our life, health, marriage, children, family, and job. If we fail to pray about everything as the Scripture commands (Phil 4:6), we will enter heaven and learn there were many things God would have done in and through us if only we'd asked! Sadly, Calvinism's determinism has turned these wonderful promises into nothing more than a promise that God will do what he predetermined to do regardless of whether we pray or not. Do not allow Calvinism's deterministic beliefs and distortions of Scripture to rob you of this blessed intimate prayer relationship with God.

Foreword
“Ronnie Rogers has once again written a clear-thinking monograph that refuses to shy away from the tough questions . . . . The thoughtful and prayerful reader will ultimately learn from this book, be challenged to reconsider their beliefs and practices regarding prayer, and will become a more effective prayer warrior for the glory of the Lord. Thank you, Ronnie Rogers, for asking the questions others will not!”
“Ronnie Rogers dives into the complexities of prayer and simplifies it for the church. He asks profound theological questions that have a direct bearing upon the lives of the readers: ‘If God is in sovereign control of everything, and if he is omniscient (foreknows the future), how can our prayers change things? . . . This book is a must-read for those seeking to know the heart of God through prayer!”
“Rogers untangles the web created by Calvinism’s form of theistic determinism by walking through the text, debunking faulty logic, and defending a meaningful view of our responsibility to pray without ceasing, because it really can make a difference. I highly recommend this challenging and insightful look into the power of prayer.”
