An exciting discovery of prayer that really works. But not a dull, sleepy kind of prayer. It is a prayer that storms the gates of heaven until things change. It is a passionate and sincere plea. Many people find that prayers "don't work". Like a broken cell phone, prayer is discarded as useless "clutter" in life. The author discovered that sometimes it is we who don't work. So she turned to the experience of the prophet Daniel for help. Daniel's prayer is not just any prayer. It is a prayer born under pressure. From anguish. From pain. From despair. Or it can be triggered by a sudden revelation of hope. By a newly received promise. By a miracle glimpsed on the horizon.

"Is not my word like fire, and like a hammer that breaks a rock? says the Lord." And this effect appears persistently in the thoughts contained in these few pages: a fire that incinerates and purifies; a hammer that gives no respite until the thing is properly shaped. The Christian Church, the Body of Christ, knows no sunsets despite being constantly decimated by the Spirit of truth more than by a hostile world. He who selects it is the same one who revives it and makes it perfect. The body that should reject this life-giving action of the Holy Spirit would have sealed its own condemnation: it would not be "the Body." The Holy Spirit is to the Church as the soul is to the human body. Therefore, the baptism or fullness of the Holy Spirit, which profoundly characterized the early Church, must shape the face of today's Christian Church.

THE HOUR THAT CHANGES THE WORLD is a practical plan for personal prayer. This unique book, full of practical tips to revive prayer, presents a plan that will enable Christians who wish to improve their prayer life to achieve their goal.

One hour a day makes 365 hours a year, which is 45 eight-hour working days! All accumulated, these 60 minutes daily represent an incredible potential to change the life of the believer and the world around them. Some ask, "But how is it possible to pray for a whole hour?" Dick Eastman responds by presenting a unique prayer program, divided into 12 phases. Each hour is divided into twelve "points of attention," five minutes each. This plan will help the sincere believer develop a healthy and consistent prayer habit that will not only change their own life, but also the world around us.
