The Prayer That Makes a Difference

OMA VAN GELDEREN: A WOMAN OF FAITH WHO UNDERSTOOD THAT GOD ANSWERS PRAYER

One of the greatest regrets we will have when we get to heaven will be when we discover all that God would have done. Either we did not ask, or we failed to ask according to His will, and therefore, we never received. Now in its revised edition, this small inspirational gift book truly moves us to embrace a prayer life based upon God's Word. As an unassuming woman grew to walk by faith and not by sight, Oma Van Gelderen, came to understand the witness of the Holy Spirit as a fact of knowledge and not merely a feeling. Her modest story encourages all who desire to be intercessors that God is ready to answer; but his will is not automatic. His promises must be obtained by faith, and prayer expresses that faith. In addition to gems from Oma's own prayer life, the book includes a precious principle: "Three Connected Truths Concerning Prayer" by her grandson and evangelist, John Van Gelderen. No wonder Lynn Erickson Valle, of the National Christian Examiner called The Prayer That Makes a Difference a "little book that amounts to a very large treasure."
