Intercession
Mighty Prevailing Prayer
This is the all-time, must-have prayer manual for intercession. I keep rereading it, and have at least one-third of the book underlined. Every time I read it, I pick up on something new. Recommended by Leonard Ravenhill.
**************************
The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer: Experience the Wonders of God through Prayer
Mr. Bounds lived in the mid-to-later 1800’s. I have been greatly inspired by his timeless writings. This is engaging reading. Geared toward the intermediate-to-more advanced intercessor.
**************************
Rules of Engagement: Preparing for Your Role in the Spiritual Battle
Derek Prince was a pioneer in deliverance ministry and spiritual warfare. This book will help you understand how spiritual warfare is waged in the heavenlies, and what place the Christian prayer warrior plays in it. It is filled with insightful, practical teaching for the Christian who is determined to go after God at all costs and finish his or her race well in the war of the ages.
**************************
Secrets of a Prayer Warrior
A profound read for those who long to be effective in receiving answers to prayer. Mr. Prince takes the position that it is not really governmental leaders who rule and reign, but the prayer warriors who govern the affairs of earth through their prayers. When we put the Lord’s glory before all else, we can expect to have every prayer answered. This ia a very practical, biblical approach to prayer. I was thrilled with what I learned.
**************************
The Master Is Calling
I could have put this one either in the Intercession or Hearing God category. Mrs. Hammond leads us into the wonderful adventure of prophetic prayer that flows naturally out of intimate time in the Lord’s Presence. Read my review for more details.
**************************
Needless Casualties of War
An absolute must-read for every intercessor, this book explains the do’s and don’ts of engaging in spiritual warfare. Although we sometimes tend to think that we are safe in what we don’t know, the devil has no mercy on our ignorance. This book goes against the grain of much of current popular teaching on spiritual warfare, but it is a much-needed balance to the subject.
**************************
Rees Howells: Intercessor
Rees Howells’ intercessory ministry spanned the two World Wars. The prayers offered up by Mr. Howells and his band of intercessors turned the course of World War 2 and ushered in the reestablishment of Israel as a nation. This is his story, along with his philosophy of prayer, healing, and faith for finances. There is much for every intercessor to learn from Rees Howells’ life.
**************************
The Intercession of Rees Howells
Written by one of Rees Howells’ close associates and fellow intercessors, this book, although not as lengthy as the Norman Grubb version, gives greater detail to the teachings of Mr. Howells. Of the two, this one was my favorite, although both are essential reading.

The Prophetic Gifts
The Seer: The Prophetic Power of Visions, Dreams, and Open Heavens
A detailed, very balanced explanation of what we should expect in the prophetic, along with cautions about unbiblical supernatural experiences.
**************************
The Prophetic Intercessor: Releasing God’s Purposes to Change Lives and Influence Nations
This is a wonderful book! Honestly, one of the best parts is where Mr. Goll, a nationally-known prophet, comments that he was not a seer/prophet from birth. He acquired his gifts by diligently seeking the Lord for them. There is hope for every one of us average types!
**************************
Dream Language: The Prophetic Power of Dreams
This book deals extensively with dreams and has a dream dictionary at the end, but it also imparts much wisdom about any form of revelation and how to handle your prophetic gifts well. See my review for a more detailed explanation.

Hearing God
Forever Ruined for the Ordinary
Joy Dawson is a woman of great wisdom with a practical, down-to-earth style of explaining hearing God, holiness, obedience to His voice, and intimacy with Him.
**************************
Experiencing God
Mr. Blackaby explains relationship with God in a very simple, yet profound style. A good beginners’ guide to developing intimacy with the Lord, yet not limited to just the new believer. This is a great book for a home Bible study group, flexible enough to bring nonbelievers to an understanding of being born again or to help new-to-intermediate believers grow in their faith. There is something for everyone here!
**************************
Hotline to Heaven: Hearing the Voice of God, by Lee Ann Rubsam
A short and to-the-point read which will help you discover the various ways God speaks, how you may already be hearing Him, and how to increase / clarify what you are hearing God say to you.
Faith
The Believer’s Authority
I have to confess, I was never one to get into the “Word of Faith” movement. Like many others, I was turned off by excesses that I saw. My husband encouraged me to read this book, and what I found was balanced, biblical teaching on our authority in Christ. Mr. Hagin himself did not subscribe to the errors of some teachers in the Word of Faith movement, and spoke out against wrong faith teaching in his later years. I have come to deeply respect this man of God, and I have learned so much from him! This book, along with The Name of Jesus, is essential reading for every believer.
**************************
The Name of Jesus
This book gave me a much deeper understanding of the authority we have available to us in the Name of Jesus. The Believer’s Authority and this book, in my opinion, are essential reading for any Christian who wants to walk in the power-filled life Jesus intended for His Church.
Healing
I feel inspired and spurred on to greater faith every time I read Mr. Lake. He was a man of great faith, great compassion, and great authority in the Spirit. This is the exhaustive compilation of his sermons and writings.

The Complete Smith Wigglesworth
The exhaustive compilation of Mr. Wigglesworth’s preaching. Smith Wiggleworth is often called the Apostle of Faith, and, along with John G. Lake, was a forerunner of the modern faith movement.
**************************
Ever Increasing Faith
A much smaller sampling of Wigglesworth’s teaching, for those who don’t have the time or inclination to read the 1,000+ page book!
**************************
How to Heal the Sick
The Hunters give us a practical, how-to book for healing the sick. Their writing style is fun and full of anecdotes, while giving us details of varieties of ways to get people healed. You will walk away from this book with confidence that anyone can move in the healing gifts — even you.
**************************
Remarkable Miracles
G. C. Bevington was a backwoods preacher in the early 1900’s. He was a marvelous man of prayer, faith, and healing. This is his autobiography. Because of his style of writing, it takes a couple of chapters to get into the book, but if you persevere, you will find his book to be a treasure.
Christian Growth
Before Whom We Stand: The Everyman’s Guide to the Nature of God, by Lee Ann Rubsam

**************************
Encouragement from God’s Word
, by Lee Ann Rubsam
“How do I know I have really been hearing from God?” “Does God ever make promises He cannot fulfill due to other people’s disobedience?” “Does God change His mind about a promise He has given?” “Would God let me be deceived about what I think I am hearing from Him and not correct me?”
The answers to these questions are clearly laid out in the Bible. The problem is — finding them! Encouragement from God’s Word is a listing of Scripture verses (KJV) arranged into twenty topics. It will lift your spirit and renew your faith in the Living God.
If you are going through a hard time, this book will arm you with specific Bible promises to reassure you and help you effectively pray in your answers.
**************************
The Shelter of the Most High
, by Francis Frangipane
A beautiful look into what it means to rest in the protection of intimate communion with God. Francis Frangipane’s wisdom and uncompromising passion for experiencing the full Christian life as it was meant to be lived just shines. Very inspiring and challenging. See my full review.
**************************
