I’m wrapping up a message series on the subject of prayer this Sunday, and I’ve grown in my personal prayer walk as a result of preaching it. I’ve learned from some great sources and wanted to pass along a list of my favorites…

Hello, Brandon! Came across your list of Books on Prayer a little late (7+ months), and I appreciate your suggestions. I wanted to share with you my “must-have” book on prayer. It was written by Wesley Duewel in 1990. It is entitled, “Mighty Prevailing Prayer.” I have read this book many times and reference it more now than ever before. It is a virtual encyclopedia with quotes by the masters on the subject of prayer. You can get it at Amazon, and I highly recommend it! Thanks for your investment into other pastors and leaders! Blessings!!!
Glenn, great add! Thanks for pointing this one out!
