LONGWOOD, FL-Next time you kneel down to pray, how about making it count? Ignore the laundry that needs to be picked up and the unreturned phone call from your mother-in-law. Look beyond your earthly restraints to a more fulfilling relationship with your Creator. The ABC's of Effective Prayer (paperback, 1-60034-368-6) by B.T. Prince, Jr., assists people in their prayer life by providing a simple but effective biblical methodology.
The ABC's of Effective Prayer is a simple, easy-to-understand guide to establishing or improving one's personal prayer life. Prayer is a topic near and dear to Prince's heart. With over six and a half decades of perfecting his prayer approach, he has become an expert and counselor in this field. He learned the difference between cursory and committed praying by intensively studying Bible passages. Although prayer is the superlative method of worship and the greatest way to bring God's blessings down from heaven, it is an exercise in which many people struggle to reach a point of comfort or maturity. Prince hopes readers will take away a fresh, new perspective on the most important aspects of simple but effective prayer.
Says Prince, "I have moved from a scatter-gun approach to a more effective and biblical approach [to praying]. I am a strong believer in consistency of prayer and in maintaining an attitude of prayer so that others may be able to detect 'Christ in me, the hope of glory.'"
B.T. Prince, Jr., a retired businessman, is an outreach volunteer at Carmel Baptist Church, Matthews, North Carolina. Many years ago Dr. Donald G. Bouldin, then senior minister of Carmel Baptist, encouraged him to memorize Scripture verses. Today Prince encourages other Christians to make Scripture memorization an important part of their daily lives.
