It is not the arithmetic of our prayers, how many they are; nor the rhetoric of our prayers, how eloquent they be; nor the geometry of our prayers, how long they may be; nor the music of our prayers, how sweet or sonorous our voices may sound; nor the logic of our prayers, how argumentative they may be; nor the method of our prayers, how orderly they may be; or even the theology of our prayers, how good the doctrine may seem. God cares for none of these things.

The fervency of the Spirit is that which availeth much, and produces substantial results. It is my prayer that this book - a painstaking compilation of some of the greatest prayer adages, quips, quotations, anecdotes, illustration, and maxims - will galvanize you into the realms of prevailing prayers as you are drawn into His presence.

A meticulous search of over 30 translations of the Holy Writ has been done to unearth the most appropriate rendition, or combination of Bible versions which best illustrate the inspiring quotations. Be raptured in God's touch as you ruminate on the words of this book, and ponder on the question: "Where are the Elijahs of God?" DR.
