...Standing on the Shoulders of Giants...

As the leadership of a Praying Ministry...we have decided that it is imperatively important to continually, tenaciously, and expectantly be on the look out for Spirit filled authors and books on the topic of Prayer...The five books that we have had the privilege of partaking of in the last few years that have really rung our bell and helped us in standing on the shoulders of giants are listed below in the order that we partook of them:

PRAYER...Finding the Heart's True Home
by Richard J. Foster
The PRAYER That Changes Everything by Stormie Omartian
I Told the Mountain to Move by Patricia Raybon
The Threshing Floor by Juanita Bynum
Get off your knees and PRAY by Sheila Walsh

Now we know what you are saying...these are completely different authors, from different backgrounds, different perspectives, different races, and different (Lord help us) denominations...here is how we handle this...we PRAY...before we read and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in all truth (John 16:12&13)...now that should ring a bell or two...oh never mind it's just the door...gotta go!!

Phrase: Standing on the shoulders of giants...using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress.
