To love God with an undivided heart is to serve Him with an undistracted life. Prayer releases the purpose of God. It brings into focus the practice of God and aligns us with His divine providence. From this little book on prayer, we will discover that our trajectory to the heavens is ultimately determined by orientation to the ground.

Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Book Description
Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace founded the United House of Prayer for All People in Wareham, Massachusetts, in 1919. This charismatic church has been regarded as one of the most extreme Pentecostal sects in the country. In addition to attention-getting maneuvers such as wearing purple suits with glitzy jewelry, purchasing high profile real estate, and conducting baptisms in city streets with a fire hose, the flamboyant Grace reputedly accepted massive donations from his poverty-stricken followers and used the money to live lavishly. It was assumed by many that Grace was the charismatic glue that held his church together, and that once he was gone the institution would disintegrate. Instead, following his 1960 death there was a period of confusion, restructuring, and streamlining. Today the House of Prayer remains an active church with a national membership in the tens of thousands. Daddy Grace: A Celebrity Preacher and His House of Prayer seriously examines the religious nature of the House of Prayer, the dimensions of Grace’s leadership strategies, and the connections between his often ostentatious acts and the intentional infrastructure of the House of Prayer. Furthermore, woven through the text are analyses of the race, class, and gender issues manifest in the House of Prayer structure under Grace’s aegis. Marie W. Dallam here offers both a religious history of the House of Prayer as an institution and an intellectual history of its colorful and enigmatic leader.

Book Description
Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer emphasizes that the main thing is not houses of prayer, or shifting cities or nations. It's not even worship or prayer. The main thing is the Lord Himself. It's only His Presence that can change a city or nation in lasting ways. This book seeks to help prepare a dwelling place for Him in your city and nation - and in our hearts. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: "There is simply no book like this one, written by Rick and Patricia Ridings, on how to shake a nation through 24-hours-a-day prayer." Dr. Cindy Jacobs, Generals International, USA "This is a powerful book for every believer to read, especially those wanting to begin a ministry. I highly recommend reading this book." Heidi G Baker, PhD, Iris Global, Mozambique "This book is a much-needed equipping tool for today's global prayer movement." James W Goll, God Encounters Ministries, USA "I encourage you to read and meditate on this book which I believe will minister deeply across cultures and generations--it is life changing!" Mike Bickle, International House of Prayer, Kansas City
