 | To churchy for my taste Feb 23, 2006 |
| I was hoping that this book was more nondenominational from the summary and reviews I read, but what I got seems very "evangelist preacher" to me. There are some good suggestions that I'll keep for my journey, but I was looking for somethign less prescribed. I guess I'll keep searching for a non-denominational guide to a relationship with God. |

| A Biblical Guide to True Prayer Oct 30, 2005 |
Dr. Ronnie Floyd's book HOW TO PRAY is a biblical guide to understanding the power, principles, and problems of prayer in the life of the Christian. The book is a well-written guide to prayer. Floyd honestly admits that no book can teach a person to pray but the person must take the teaching of the book on prayer and apply them to their own prayer lives. Floyd can pray but he can only teach us to pray without us getting on our faces in true prayer.
The positives of this book are that Floyd stays true to his text. His exegesis of the biblical passages on prayer is true to the text and he stays in the context. Floyd does not chase unbiblical thoughts about prayer (particularly in reference to spiritual warfare). I also greatly enjoyed his honesty throughout the book and his chapter on fasting and prayer was very helpful.
The negatives of this book are few. While some charismatics might take exception with Floyd's view of what it means to "pray in the Spirit" (Eph. 6:18), I believe Floyd is biblical accurate in his teaching on praying in the Spirit.
Overall this is a wonderful addition on prayer. Dr. Ronnie Floyd has given the Church a manuel for true praying. My prayer is that the Church will stop all the runnind around chasing the Church Growth gurus long enough to hear the Lord calling His Church back to prayer (1 Thess. 5:17; Rev. 5:8). |

| Practical Prayer Guide Oct 31, 2000 |
| Ronnie Floyd has written a very practical guide to prayer. He shares insights and points in a clear and concise manner. The author's passion and commitment inspire the reader to desire a deeper prayer relationship. Intimacy with God and his presence in our lives are driving forces for Floyd. He points to prayer as a essential for personal, church, and national revival. As a pastor seeking more of God's presence in my life, I found this a book that I will continue to refer to in the future. |
