"The Passionate Praying of the Effectual Fervent Prayer" seeks to discuss the fundamentals but practical and personal aspects of a complete and comprehensive prayer that is the effectual fervent praying of the righteous passionately done, and which ultimately creates the pathway to that personal communion with the Lord God and by which mankind is able to receive all the blessings such as favor, healing, forgiveness of sins, health, wealth, richness of God, wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Lord God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This book is the results of over thirty years of bible study, prayer meetings, prayer breakfasts, prayer convocations, fasting and praying, all night prayer sessions, and among other experiences. This book profoundly studies and identifies the types and formats of a complete and comprehensive prayer, the different challenges of prayer and overcoming these challenges, the importance of the different types of media through which prayers are successfully made, and how to overcome the difficult challenges that we as believers individually and collectively confront on a daily basis through prayer. In essence, "The Passionate Praying of the Effectual Fervent Prayer" reveals the secrets about prayers and their ultimate destination and effects, and the secrets of getting the answers to those prayers all believers have individually and collectively prayed.
