Effectual Prayer

by Frances W. Foulks

Frances W. Foulks takes the reader through eight steps of prayer--from what makes prayer effectual to actually living in the consciousness of the Christ. This is a timeless book, so while writing style differs from what the contemporary reader may expect, it is like remembering your grandmother's advice when faced with a current problem. Rev. Foulks' observations are astonishingly simple but not simplistic. In commenting on how we ourselves limit our capacity to receive an answer to our prayers, she says: "The answer desired when the prayer is offered may never be manifested, for as long as we are seeking things, our desires change with the fashions, and there is no perfect pattern for substance to follow."

I liked the book because of its simplicity. It explains singularity for first time readers who wonder if dualism is illusion or not. It also approaches its arguments from the point of psychology and supported them with the verses of the Holy Bible. However, the prayers are very long up to 2 pages, which does not suit for any affirmation, unless a reader picks up in between.
