About the author

James Gordon Lindsay was a pivotal figure in mid-20th century American Pentecostalism, best known as a revivalist preacher, prolific author, and founder of Christ for the Nations Institute. Raised in Zion, Illinois, by parents who were disciples of healing evangelist John Alexander Dowie, Lindsay was immersed in a spiritual environment from an early age. After moving to Oregon, he was influenced by key Pentecostal leaders such as Charles Fox Parham and John G. Lake, both of whom deeply shaped his theology and ministry style. By the age of eighteen, Lindsay had launched his ministry, preaching across Pentecostal and British Israelite congregations.
In the 1940s, he emerged as a prominent organizer of revival meetings, including the controversial Anglo-Saxon World Federation convention in 1940. His national impact began in earnest in 1947 when he became the campaign manager and publicist for healing evangelist William Branham. To promote Branham’s ministry and the broader healing revival movement, Lindsay founded the Voice of Healing magazine in 1948. The publication quickly expanded to feature other leading evangelists like Oral Roberts and A. A. Allen, positioning Lindsay as a central figure in the Healing Revival era. He also authored a widely read biography of Branham, A Man Sent from God.
As many associated ministers eventually established their own ministries, Lindsay evolved his organization. In 1971, he rebranded it as Christ for the Nations to reflect a stronger missionary focus. He led the institute until his death in 1973, leaving behind a legacy of revivalism, theological publishing, and international ministry training that continues to influence Pentecostal and Charismatic movements globally.

One of the things I loved about this book is right in the beginning Gordon provides the steps to salvation along with scripture and a prayer. While searching for this book I also found it was available in 10 different languages. This book has many great little nuggets to take time and allow it to sink in and grow a bigger understanding of your prayer life. It is a book you will want to reread.
Gordons teachings on prayer are easy to understand and apply to your life. Gordons teachings gives you answers to your life and prayer to lead you in the right direction. This book provided a view for all to see a need of having prayer an essential part of your daily life. He shows how it is important to use the right kind of prayer when wanting results.
Each chapter title provides for a great reference book as it is easy to find what you need to pray about the title clearly shows and guides you to the answers in the Bible. The book references scripture throughout the entire writing. One thing that will stick with me and was a main take away is that Gordon shared with us that prayer is just as essential as breathing.

Prayer is indeed a key. When connected well with the Scripture, it has the potential to unlock doors.
