We’ve just completed a new book, and I want to send you a free copy, no strings attached.

I realize this is outside our usual offerings at theTrumpet.com and in these Trumpet Brief e-mails. But I believe this book could really change your life. Its title is How to Pray.

We often hear public expressions of and calls for prayer, particularly after crises hit, from heads of state, leaders in politics, business and religion, relatives and others: “Our thoughts and prayers are with them.” “Our prayers go out to the victims of this tragedy.”

Do these prayers make any difference? Is God listening? If not, why even pray? Yet if these prayers are being heard, then why do we still see so much suffering, trouble and strife around us? Is it because God cannot hear us? Or does He hear and refuse to answer? Or is there another explanation?

James 5:16 tells us that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. Do your prayers accomplish much?

We live in a material world; we are all affected by the age of materialism. Our world has lost the knowledge of God and the power of prayer.

This in-depth new book will show you, from your own Bible, how to pray in a way that reaches God’s ears and gets real results. Chapter 1 shows why prayer is so important. Chapter 2 spells out seven conditions we must meet to receive answers from God. Chapter 3 covers common problems we face in prayer and how to break through those barriers. Chapter 4 delves into the prayer outline Jesus Christ gave the disciples and what God wants us to pray about. In Chapter 5, you’ll learn the blessings that come from praying for other people—not only for those you pray for, but even yourself. And the book contains two more chapters with even deeper instruction on this vital subject.

Whether you consider yourself very good at prayer, or you never pray, you will find the instruction in this book useful and valuable. Apply it, and you are certain to improve your contact with your Creator. Nothing brings greater blessings, fulfillment and happiness!

A free copy of this new book is yours—without charge, obligation or follow-up. If you want one, just click this e-mail link and give us a physical address to send it to.
