Publisher's Description
We all face critical forks in the road-marriage, the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, or a personal health crisis. How are we to pray at these junctures? Perhaps our instinct is to send up a quick "911" prayer, but authors John Hull and Tim Elmore demonstrate how by praying the right prayer at the right time, we can see the incredible impact of what God can do. Scripture offers countless examples of men and women who prayed strategically and saw results. Remember Solomon's prayer for wisdom? He received it-and wealth beyond his imagination as well. And how about Hannah's desire for a child? God honored her prayer; her son Samuel became the greatest judge in Israel's history. Pivotal Praying uses these examples and others to illustrate the power of effective-and ineffective-praying. For those seeking to enlarge their prayer vision and alter their circumstances for God's glory, Pivotal Praying is an ideal resource.
Endorsements (6)
“The last great unconquered frontier for the advancing cause of Christ may very well be the personal prayer life of His followers. My friends John Hull and Tim Elmore provide fresh and compelling insights. Read this book and get ready to tap the true power source—especially in times of need.”
Dr. Joe Stowell
“Pivotal Praying is a powerful, yet practical, manual for those compelled to see God’s plan released in their lives—and the world!”
“Who regards his prayer life as strong and adequate enough? John and Tim have given us a valuable resource to drive us closer to that elusive goal. Pivotal Praying will both instruct the minds and stir the hearts of all who want to pray well.”
“Finally, a book that deals with prayer in the context of where we live! Pivotal Praying is a “dirt-under-your-fingernails” kind of book that, contrary to a lot of books on prayer, refuses to give you theory or theological surmise. It is a book you will read and use often, and it could change the way you look at prayer.”
“Tim Elmore and John Hull have effectively communicated how to pray when you least feel like it. Pivotal Praying reveals practical ways you can connect with God when you face your greatest challenges.”
“With inspirational stories and insightful Bible study, John Hull and Tim Elmore teach us how to pray in the face of crises, unexpected turns in life’s road, and at times of “crossroads” decision making. Someone has said that life is the accumulation of our choices. Pivotal Praying is a road map to making wise choices, because in those pivotal choice times, it directs our attention toward pursuing the heart of God.”
