In History Makers, Dutch Sheets and William Ford III reveal how God
wants us to connect with the powerful and timeless things He has
done in the past so that we can become empowered for the future. We
must look to our Christian forefathers and pray for the renewal of
the covenants God made with them, building on God's past work to
move closer to His ultimate goals for us as a nation and a planet.
Now is our chance to connect with the past, shaping the outcome of
the future, and turning it back in God's direction!

Andrew Wommack uncovers the traditions and misconceptions in prayer
that often bring more suffering than good! In finding out how Jesus
taught us to pray, we can bring joy back into our relationship with
God. Many people, who truly love God with all of their heart, find
it difficult to pray as they have been taught. And their
once-vibrant relationship with the Lord had become stifled,
mechanical, and lifeless. What they don't understand is that prayer
is an opportunity to have communion with God-fellowship with the
Father. Of course it includes requests because we need help from
our Father every day, but it also includes a connection and
friendship with God. Readers may find it amazing that God would
talk with them just as a friend, but His greatest desire is for His
children to know Him in much the same, intimate way as He knows
them. After 30 years of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered
some important things about prayer including what prayer is and
what it is not. Readers will uncover the traditions and
misconceptions in prayer and discover true and meaningful communion
with God through Jesus' example of prayer. More importantly,
they'll come to know a new, profound joy and fulfillment in their
relationship with God, receiving the answers they need. The subject
of prayer has been touched on many times through classic and
current authors, but Andrew Wommack brings a fresh approach to
prayer by "defuncting" the common traditions that make prayer
laborious and lifeless. In much the same style as Tommy Tenny's The
God Chasers and Jim Cymbala's Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, readers will
be thrilled to find a God who desires to talk with them anytime,
whenever they are open and willing.Readers will learn to develop
vibrant, open communication with the Father all throughout their
day.
