BOOK REVIEW

More than ever before, the importance and urgency of intercession is being realized and accepted today. However, it is really hard to find a book with balanced and systematic teaching on intercession. In this backdrop, this book is a unique, first-time, detailed teaching on the concept, ingredients and vision of intercession with a 10-step guide to help believers to grow and partner with Jesus in the ministry of intercession. With his vast experience in the ministry of intercession and leadership in the Charismatic Renewal at the national and international level, the author has given a very systematic presentation on the subject. The Indian Church is proud of him and would like to congratulate him. I find that the book is a very useful and concise guide not only for personal use, but also for group study, teachings and workshops on intercession.
