Praying for Miracles

PRAYING FOR MIRACLES is a non-fiction book about Bible study, faith, prayer and miracles. The author, Newton Walkin, surveys the miracles of the Bible and shows how relevant these are in assisting Christians today when praying for miracles. The book has three parts: (1) deals with the person and work of the Holy Spirit and the veracity of the Bible; (2) examines the principles of intercessory prayer; and (3) looks at prayers and miracles in action. The Appendix II helps those studying the Bible from cover to cover more than once. The book is useful for the general Christian reader, lay preachers, Sunday school teachers, prayer groups, intercessors and first year Bible Studies students at university, seminary and Bible College. The book has 550 pages and 27 chapters.

Walkin comes from a Christian home. He is a member of West Croydon Baptist Church (WCBC), Croydon, England founded by James Spurgeon in 1869. The views in this book are entirely those of the author and do not represent any church, organisation or ministry. From July 1999 to December 2006, Walkin achieved, by God's generous grace, his vision to read the Bible from cover to cover 21 times, shown in Appendix II.

Walkin believes in the awesome power of intercessory prayer of faith. Walkin said, "If our faith is strong enough we can successfully pray for miracles." On November 21, 2004, Walkin wrote a prayer for London to win the 2012 Olympic Bid, held July 6, 2005. He wrote another prayer: Olympic Prayer for Peaceful Games In 2012. And in January 2009 wrote a Prayer/Psalm for President Barack Obama's protection.

Now an evangelist Christian writer, Walkin and his wife Eileen were baptized in March 2001 at WCBC. Walkin also regularly attends Trinity Baptist Church, Croydon, England.
