Called to Pray: Astounding Stories of Answered Prayer by Linda Evans Shepherd

About the Book

★★★★★

When you feel a nudge to pray, what will you do?

Most of us have felt it at one time or another: that unexplained prompting in our hearts to stop and pray for a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. Sometimes we are even awakened from a deep sleep with an even deeper need to go to God in prayer. Where do those urges come from? Are they truly from God? Or are they merely stray thoughts? And if we respond in prayer, are others' lives affected at all?

In Called to Pray, Linda Evans Shepherd shares dozens of inspiring true stories of people who have heeded God's call to pray and the astonishing results of those impromptu prayers. Through accounts of people being protected from harm and rescued from danger, of needs being met and hearts being encouraged, you'll see that God is involved in an active and dynamic relationship with us – and that we can be part of his plan to bless others.

If you have ever wondered if prayer has any real effect or doubted that God communicates with us personally, this heart-stirring book will amaze, inspire, and equip you to respond to those holy promptings.

Linda Evans Shepherd’s Called to Pray: Astounding Stories of Answered Prayer compiles inspiring stories attesting to the power of prayer. Each chapter, with multiple stories, shows people choose to pray and see amazing and nearly unbelievable results. As a whole, Called to Pray offers its readers great reminders that God does answer prayers, as well as encouragement to actually pray when feeling the urge to pray. It’s a beneficial and valuable read, and I would recommend it.
