Needed: Men of Prayer
"What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use -- men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men -- men of prayer."
-E. M. Bounds

Every once in a while a book comes along that “stops you in your tracks.” “Explodes into your life,” might be more accurate. For me, this is that. same kind of different as me, by Ron Hall & Denver Moore is a true story of life, love and friendship. And, for reasons you’ll discover for yourself, one that men will like and find intriguing.

It’s an easy and enjoyable (for the most part) read. That is if you’re not afraid of life or death or friendship? Even if you are, the brevity and truth of these stories and these lives will draw you in. Besides, if you’re honest with yourself, these are big issues to your human soul, and you know it. Why not take a break in life, and walk this short path of someone else's pleasure, pain, and friendship? It’s a textbook on friendship!

It’s probably just me, but even the one-page “acknowledgments” at the end brought tears to my eyes, and joy to my heart. -=db=-
