Samuel Rees Howells, a Life of Intercession: The Legacy of Hidden Intercessor
Updated in 2018. Samuel Rees Howells, A Life of The Legacy of Prayer and Spiritual Warfare of an Intercessor by Richard A. Maton, Paul Backholer and Mathew Backholer. Paperback and hardback editions include 39 black and white photos.
Rees Howells, a powerful intercessor, taught his son Samuel the principles of intercession and commissioned him some weeks before his death, stating, "Whatever you do, stand and maintain these intercessions." For the next fifty-four years, Samuel Rees Howells exercised a powerful intercessory ministry as he focused prayer on gospel liberty, in order for the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be given to every creature.
With the mantle of intercession weighing heavily upon him, Samuel spent decades participating with others in their own countries, in profound spiritual struggles that shook world events and shaped history for God's glory! Discover how Samuel was led by the Holy Spirit to exercise authority over the principalities and powers, and to 'pray through' until God's purposes were fulfilled in many lethal world conflicts. Learn how God still intervenes in world history, from the Korean War to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and from the Six-Day War to the fall of the Soviet Union!
Beginning in the days of Rees Howells, this book continues this powerful story of intercession and traces its effectual legacy into the twenty-first century. Filled with principles of intercession, faith and spiritual warfare, this book provides a fascinating insight into what is possible when the Holy Spirit finds an individual, who will stand in the gap and become a channel for His intercession. Ezekiel 22:30, Romans 8:26-27, Ephesians 6:12.
Richard A. Maton worked under Samuel's ministry for forty-seven years and provides us with an eyewitness account of Samuel's life of intercession. Richard is married to Kristine who joined Rees Howells' Bible College in 1936 and prayed alongside him. Together Richard and Kristine spent more than 120 years at the College!

Principles of prayer made more clear
A great sequel to Rees Howells Intercessor. For those of us who fell in love with Rees Howells, it's so encouraging to see how his legacy of global intercession and radical faith continued on through the ministry of his son for another 50+ years. The author does a great job mining out and displaying the gems stones that Norman Grubb introduced. He systematically expounds on the spiritual principles of intercessory prayer, radical faith, and total surrender as he seamlessly weaves them into the story line. Compared to Rees Howells Intercessor, the storyline itself is a bit weak, presumably because Samuel Howells was very quiet and private. So while the narrative is more bare, the teaching principals are even more clear. Definitely a must read for anyone who would go deeper in the Rees Howells school of prayer.

Inspiring, Challenging, Practical Guide to the life of Intercession
I’ve read Rees Howells Intercessor half a dozen times, but find it difficult to practically walk the principles. Reading this book was a fantastic and detailed look into how to live a life of intercession, not for a few weeks or months or years, but over an entire lifetime. Excellent read!
