Revival Praying
Ratings1
Average rating4
This book is a challenge to all who are deeply concerned about a full-scale spiritual awakening in America. Ravenhill begins by describing the great need for revival, and then he utilizes the remaining chapters to effectively drive home the point. He tells us that prayer is faith in action, and therefore the most essential ingredient in the production of revivals. The book is not only freighted with exhortations, but filled with illustrations. He takes us to both biblical and extra-biblical examples of the art of effective praying. The result is a fast-paced presentation of a crucial and much neglected subject. - Back cover.

Ravenhill has shown himself to be quite the strong author with writing in such a way that you want to immediately follow his advice. I have found my prayer life to be quite poor recently and this book gave me a good push towards rectifying this.
I rather like his style of personal anecdotes and referencing great figures of the faith. It shows him as a learned and experienced individual rather than a textbook preacher.
This pairs nicely with his most famous book, Why Revival Tarries, and compliments one another with this book mentioning and elaborating the role of prayer from the individual to the preacher.
