Praise for The Essential Guide to Prayer

Although this book is called The Essential Guide to Prayer, it is really for all prayer warriors, whether just beginning or advanced. This is a fabulous book that will bring the prayer movement to a whole new level of understanding.

Cindy Jacobs, cofounder, Generals International

I can think of no better author to teach beginning intercessors the keys to intercession than Dutch Sheets. This book is destined to birth a new army of intercessors.

Dick Eastman, International President, Every Home for Christ

Pastor Dutch Sheets is unsurpassed in his God-given ability to help Christians rise to new levels in the ministry of intercession. He has outdone himself in this dynamic new book, and you will not want to miss it!

C. Peter Wagner, Apostolic Ambassador, Global Spheres, Inc., 1930–2016
