Doug Clay, author and general superintendent of Assemblies of God

Dr. Chos prayer life is the most scriptural, consistent prayer life I have ever known. Let your life be changed by reading this powerful book on prayer.

Larry Stockstill, author, pastor, and executive director of Surge Project

Prayer encourages the church to continue its passionate pursuit of a powerful prayer life. Im personally encouraged by the call to pray more effectively today and embrace the commitment of a life devoted to talking to Jesus.

Edmound Teo, senior pastor of International Christian Assembly, Hong Kong

Prayer will bring a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit to everyone who will practice its teaching.

Dr. Bob Rodgers, senior pastor of Evangel World Prayer Center, Louisville, Kentucky

No one in the world taught me the principles and the power of prayer like the life and example of Dr. Yonggi Cho. I am thankful for this book and its transformational teaching, which is sure to speak faith and power into a new generation of believers and open their eyes to the world-changing secrets of prayer.

Joakim Lundqvist, pastor of Word of Life Church, Sweden, and board member of Church Growth International

In 1984, I had the privilege of attending Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Korea, pastored by Dr. Yonggi Cho. The intensity with which the people prayed in the worship service moved me deeply. I realized how little the western church prays when I saw thousands of people pray all night, rise early for morning prayer time, and continue to fast and pray at Prayer Mountain. Prayer has since become the top priority at Kings Cathedral and Chapels. It is the basis for fulfilling the visions God has given us as a church. I thank God for Dr. Chos teaching on prayer, but more than anything, I rejoice that the teachings were modeled personally by the members of the Yoido Full Gospel Church, thus fulfilling Jesus word: My house will be a house of prayer. Get ready to have your prayer life energized by reading this book.

Dr. James Marocco, senior pastor, Kings Cathedral and Chapels

This book will stir you to a greater capacity and desire to pray. The church needs this book at this time and season to weep and travail for our nations and bring the life of the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. The contents of Dr. Chos and Dr. Goodalls book covers not only the many types of prayer, but it also gives great direction on the boundaries of the Word of God and how to lean on the Holy Spirit. This book is such a blessing to the body of Christ. May it bring much blessing and inspiration to Gods church.

By Dr. Dick Eastman

D r. A. T. Pierson, renowned Bible teacher with evangelist Dwight L. Moody and successor to the pulpit of Charles Spurgeon, wrote, Generally, if not uniformly, prayer is both starting point and goal to every moment in which are the elements of permanent progress. Whenever the church is aroused and the worlds wickedness arrested, somebody has been praying. Moody added, Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.

Dr. Yonggi Cho, on his knees, is one of the first pictures that comes to my mind when I read those words of Pierson and Moody. When one looks at the whole of church history and the human instruments God has used to advance Christs kingdom, some earthly vessels tower above others. They have been, first and foremost, men and women of prayer.

I had the joy of first encountering Yonggi Cho and hearing him preach when I was a twenty-one-year-old youth pastor in Wisconsin. Ours was the first church Dr. Cho visited in America just several years after his founding of what is today the Yoido Full Gospel Church, a congregation of hundreds of thousands of believers, in Seoul, Korea. Interestingly, that church began appropriately in a tent, which reminded me of Moses and the Tent of Meeting, where Gods glory cloud would come when Moses would enter. Gods glory did comeand in wavesinside Yonggi Chos tent. The rest is history.

Fewer than ten minutes into Chos Sunday morning message, I knew I was hearing a man of prayer. You could sense it in every syllable of this young Korean pastors less than polished English. Of course, we heard far more than his words; we heard his heart. What an extraordinary faith deposit was invested in my heart that morning! Soon I found myself spending late evenings and Saturday mornings prostrate on some wooden pallets in the churchs furnace room, where I knew no one would disturb me. A hunger for Jesus and a passion for the lost always consumed my prayer. As I look back over some fifty-three years of ministry since, I believe seeds of faith were planted in my heart during that Sunday morning message.

Over the years, I would retell the story of my first encounter with a true man of prayer in hundreds of settings, where I would teach what became the
