| The art of prayer, known to early-day Pentecostals, has been virtually lost in recent years. However, in order for God to accomplish what He desires, the true art of prayer must be resurrected in the Church.Kenneth E. Hagin's book The Art of Prayer shows how this can be done and reflects Rev. Hagin's new, updated material on this subject. Rev. Hagin notes, "We believe that God will use this book to raise up and train a great number of people who know how to pray and who will be at the forefront of the work of the Lord in these last days." This book is a "must" for every prayer group and church.The chapters in this important handbook on the lost art of prayer cover such subjects as: praying for your nation, interceding for the lost, praying for deliverance, groanings in the Spirit, fasting, and praying for those in sin. |

| If you've ever wondered exactly what is going on in your mate's mind, you can probably find it somewhere in the pages of The Art of Understanding Your Mate. Cecil Osborne casts a clinical eye on the underlying psychological forces that drive married relationships. His common sense outlook on counseling troubled couples is based on a solid understanding of human behavior. Illuminating insights tumble from the pages of his book. In addition, Osborne has a keen ear for the spoken word. Through a liberal injection of actual dialogue, he captures the feelings of drama and tensions between husband and wife. Osborne advocates a realistic approach to marriage. He cautions couples to expect to encounter problems of incompatibility. Men and women are different. Their needs are different, as are the emotions that accompany those needs. The wonder is, Osborne points out, that there are so many successful marriages. |
