Pray Like You Mean It—and Get Godly Results
Prayer manual keeps readers on track via its design as a day planner

LONGWOOD, FL—From Genesis to Revelation, prayer permeates the entire Word of God, yet in the busyness of life it has become one of the most neglected and misunderstood Christian practices. Ken Crause’s Praying with Purpose and Power ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-835-5; $25.99, hardcover, 978-1-60266-836-2) is different from most books on prayer. It is not only a book filled with scriptural teachings on prayer, but is in fact a prayer workbook. Designed to be used as a prayer reminder, a prayer journal, and an activity journal to keep you on track with your prayers each day, this handy tool will enable you to pray with purpose and power.

Praying with Purpose and Power is the perfect record-keeping system to assist people in their journey of learning to pray effectively. “God wants to fellowship with His people through prayer, but most people have no tools to help them keep focus and to keep them consistent in prayer,” says Crause. “[My book will] get them excited about praying, praying consistently with purpose, and seeing the power of God work in answer to their prayers.”

The manual, initially developed for Crause’s own purposes, makes a journey in prayer accessible to others. Solidly founded on Scripture and the author’s own formal Bible school education, the book gives readers the answers they need straight from the greatest authority on any subject—God.

Ken Crause and his wife, Mitz, have seven children and oversee the home group ministries of their church, Maranatha Foursquare Church of Nanaimo, British Columbia.

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world’s largest Christian publisher, with more than 4,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Praying with Purpose and Power through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. Salem Communications is the country’s leading Christian radio broadcaster, Internet content provider, and Christian magazine publisher.

About the author:
Ken Crause was born and raised in the city of Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Through a miracle of divine healing, Ken accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour at the age of 13. He came to Canada in September 1973 to attend the Full Gospel Bible Institute (FGBI) in Eston, Saskatchewan. After graduation, he pastored a small church in Minnedosa Manitoba.
Ken later left the pastorate to pursue a career in business and finance.

In the spring of 2007 God called Ken back into full time ministry primarily focused on prayer. This manual was initially developed for Ken’s own purposes and journey in prayer and is now being made available to others to guide them to an effective prayer life.

A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BOOK ON PRAYER

Many other great books have been written on prayer. This book is different from most though. It is not only a book filled with scriptural teaching on prayer, but is in fact a prayer workbook. It is designed to be used as a prayer reminder, a prayer journal and an activity journal, to keep you on track with your prayers each day. This will enable you to pray with purpose and with power. Its focus is on personal prayer.

Of all the noble, great ministries and deeds done by Christians, there is nothing more important to God than the matter or ministry of prayer. Prayer permeates the entire Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. Yet in the busyness of life, it has probably become the most neglected and misunderstood Christian practice. Prayer is not reserved for the few but is for us all.
