Recommended BooksThese are some of my favorite books. All of them (except Lee Ann's) are available at Amazon Intercession
This is the all-time, must-have prayer manual for intercession. I keep rereading it, and have at least one-third of the book underlined. Every time I read it, I pick up on something new. Recommended by Leonard Ravenhill.
Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer, The: Experience the Wonders of God through Prayer
Mr. Bounds lived in the mid-to-later 1800's. I have been greatly inspired by his timeless writings. This is engaging reading. Geared toward the intermediate-to-more advanced intercessor.
Rees Howells: Intercessor
Rees Howells' intercessory ministry spanned the two World Wars. The prayers offered up by Mr. Howells and his band of intercessors turned the course of World War 2 and ushered in the reestablishment of Israel as a nation. This is his story, along with his philosophy of prayer, healing, and faith for finances. There is much for every intercessor to learn from Rees Howells' life.
The Intercession of Rees Howells
Written by one of Rees Howells' close associates and fellow intercessors, this book, although not as lengthy as the Norman Grubb version, gives greater detail to the teachings of Mr. Howells. Of the two, this one was my favorite, although both are essential reading. The Beginning Intercessor, by Lee Ann Rubsam
This is just what it says -- an easy-read booklet for those who are just beginning the intercession journey (although the seasoned intercessor may learn a thing or two as well). See further details at our site. House of Prayer ~ House of Power, by Lee Ann Rubsam
This manual is designed for intercessor leaders and those who desire to start a prayer group in their home or church. The first part gives practical how-to's for getting started, maintaining a successful group, and passing on leadership skills to others. The second part is an outline of ready-made teachings on intercession. See further details at our site.
The Prophetic Gifts
A detailed, very balanced explanation of what we should expect in the prophetic, along with cautions about unbiblical supernatural experiences.
Prophetic Intercessor, The: Releasing God's Purposes to Change Lives and Influence Nations
This is a wonderful book! Honestly, one of the best parts is where Mr. Goll, a nationally-known prophet, comments that he was not a seer/prophet from birth. He acquired his gifts by diligently seeking the Lord for them. There is hope for every one of us average types!
Hearing God
Joy Dawson is a woman of great wisdom with a practical, down-to-earth style of explaining hearing God, holiness, obedience to His voice, and intimacy with Him.
Experiencing God
Mr. Blackaby explains relationship with God in a very simple, yet profound style. A good beginners' guide to developing intimacy with the Lord, yet not limited to just the new believer. This is a great book for a home Bible study group, flexible enough to bring nonbelievers to an understanding of being born again or to help new-to-intermediate believers grow in their faith. There is something for everyone here! Hotline to Heaven: Hearing the Voice of God, by Lee Ann Rubsam
I really want you to read the Henry Blackaby and Joy Dawson books, but if you are eager to get started, this booklet is full of just what you need to begin hearing God. Very practical and detailed. See further details at our site.
Faith
I have to confess, I was never one to get into the "Word of Faith" movement. Like many others, I was turned off by excesses that I saw. My husband encouraged me to read this book, and what I found was balanced, biblical teaching on our authority in Christ. Mr. Hagin himself did not subscribe to the errors of some teachers in the Word of Faith movement, and spoke out against wrong faith teaching in his later years. I have come to deeply respect this man of God, and I have learned so much from him! This book, along with The Name of Jesus, are essential reading for every believer.
The Name of Jesus
This book gave me a much deeper understanding of the authority we have available to us in the Name of Jesus. The Believer's Authority and this book, in my opinion, are essential reading for any Christian who wants to walk in the power-filled life Jesus intended for His Church.
Healing
I feel inspired and spurred on to greater faith every time I read Mr. Lake. He was a man of great faith, great compassion, and great authority in the Spirit. This is the exhaustive compilation of his sermons and writings.
The Complete Smith Wigglesworth
The exhaustive compilation of Mr. Wigglesworth's preaching. Smith Wiggleworth is often called the Apostle of Faith, and, along with John G. Lake, was a forerunner of the modern faith movement.
Ever Increasing Faith
A much smaller sampling of Wigglesworth's teaching, for those who don't have the time or inclination to read the 1,000+ page book!
How to Heal the Sick The Hunters give us a practical, how-to book for healing the sick. Their writing is style is fun and full of anecdotes, while giving us details of varieties of ways to get people healed. You will walk away from this book with confidence that anyone can move in the healing gifts -- even you.
Remarkable Miracles
G. C. Bevington was a backwoods preacher in the early 1900's. He was a marvelous man of prayer, faith, and healing. This is his autobiography. Because of his style of writing, it takes a couple of chapters to get into the book, but if you persevere, you will find his book to be a treasure.
