Although little is known about Elizabeth Dabney’s youth, she often said she learned the value of prayer from her mother, who always kept a family altar in their home. Mother Dabney sat down and documented for the world, her detailed thoughts and experiences about really living a life devoted to prayer and what the resulting effects would be to personal ministry.
I read this during a time of church's prayer and fasting. It helped as a 'blow by blow' example of a modern day person who actually did commit herself to prayer and how God answered. Highly recommend it!
This is indeed the best book that I have ever read on prayer. It doesn’t give the how too. However, it inspired me to want to pray for all people everywhere!
