Constructing a prayer life is often like putting a puzzle together without the box's cover. Having a picture makes all the difference. Bible prayers create a model of what prayer can be; exciting, fulfilling and powerful. Using a simple acrostic makes prayer memorable, interesting and focused. You too can learn to pray following this simple outline utilized by men and women who experience the transforming power of prayer.

Review

Over the years I have used the acronym ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) thousands of time, but I had never read a detailed exposition of its value until I came across this book. I missed a great deal! Most Christians must occasionally feel that their time of prayer is little more than a shopping list--and that they leave the check-out with nothing in the basket. Help is at hand! Simple, scriptural and practical, I predict that this little book will set countless Christians on their way to praying more wisely, more enthusiastically and more effectively. I warmly commend it. --John Blanchard, Author, Apologist and Conference Speaker

What you hold in your hands is practical theology at its finest. Pastor Reggie Weems offers sound theology about prayer to encourage and challenge you to pray soundly. Here is a call to prayer that is God-honoring, Christ-focused, Spirit-led and Scripture-based. May this book be a useful tool for your spiritual growth and a catalyst for a revival of prayer in today's church. --Thom S. Rainer, President and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources

Reggie Weems has written a book utilizing ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) model. I don't know if there is any other book that treats this subject the way Reggie has treated prayer. I have known Reggie for over 20 years and have seen how God has worked through the church that he has grown over a period of time. Obviously, he believes in prayer and God has worked through him to build Heritage Baptist Church into a powerful congregation. --Elmer L. Towns, Co-Founder, Liberty University and Vice President, Liberty Unviersity, Dean, School of Religion, Lynchburg, Virginia

About the Author

Reggie Weems was born in Granite City, Illinois (USA). Converted at seventeen, he married his childhood sweetheart, and served as an Egyptian linguist for the U.S. government before serving as the Senior Pastor of two churches for thirty years of ministry. As a Christian and pastor, Reggie simultaneously rejoices in and struggles with discipline of prayer. It is for that reason that he emphasizes it, practices it and encourages others to join him in the wonder of communion with God.
