Prayer Journey Bible: Notes by Dr. Elmer L. Towns

by Elmer L. Towns

Prayer is a relationship with God.

 

The Prayer Journey Bible is prepared as a guide to help you know God and be transformed continually to be more like Him. Yours is a journey into the spiritual unknown, so be prepared to dig, compare, memorize, repent, and yes-experience God. Remember, prayer is a relationship with God for a purpose. You want to be transformed to be like Jesus. As you read the Prayer Journey Bible, you will find numbers in brackets, i.e. {501}, attached to various verses or events or statements about prayer. The number will guide you to a principle of prayer for a fuller explanation; or if you read these principles of prayer, you will be guided to places in Scripture for further reading. The notes of the Prayer Journey Bible are prepared to help you pray many different ways, with many attitudes, using many methods, concerning many requests.

 

May this Prayer Journey Bible help you touch God; but more importantly, may God touch you.

Reviews

[Harold Cameron · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Prayer Journey Bible is a truly helpful resource for people who want to both read the Scriptures and pray the Scriptures. Dr. Town's notes concerning prayer are invaluable in that they help the reader pray more effectively because he provides insights about prayer that help in praying aright. I have been using it and enjoying it as my primary resource for reading through and praying through the Scriptures.
