LONGWOOD, FL-A miraculous prayer life can move heaven and earth, as it did for a poorly educated hillbilly named Elden Shisler. Born into a simple family, never completing high school, and never really having a good career job he nevertheless went on to "move mountains" with his persistent pleas to God. Chronicled in Bryant C. Buck's The Prayer Warrior (paperback, 978-1-60266-535-4) is the real-life story of a dedicated Christian with more than one handicap who still managed to overcome every obstacle in life with one simple weapon his prayer life.
Says Buck, "My hope is that readers of The Prayer Warrior will be inspired both to pray more and to pray more effectively by the lessons learned from Elden Shisler's life. The book reveals simple prayer principles we all can apply to make our prayer life more effective."
Buck was a firsthand witness to part of Elden's story, having known him for 30 years and been his prayer partner for nine. He personally traveled to Missouri, his place of birth, and documented the miracles that occurred in his adult life there. Says the author, "My own prayer life has been dramatically changed from what I have learned praying with Elden."
Bryant C. Buck is a full-time insurance salesman and a part-time lay minister with New Beginnings Church. He and his wife, Emily, live near Rock City, Illinois.
