The Hour that Changes the World – Dick Eastman


Book recommendation

The Hour that Changes 
The World


 A Practical Plan for Personal Prayer
 by Dick Eastman



Copyright 1978


(Information from the back cover)


The second book by Dick Eastman, the author of NO Easy Road (almost 400,000 copies in print), 

  • provides the reader with a challenge that, if accepted will change not only his personal world but also the vast world around him.

Filled with practical suggestions for revitalized prayer, 
  • this unique book describes a plan by which the Christian who wants to improve his prayer life can reach his goal.

Every Christian, says Dick Eastman, has the gift of 24 hours in each day, and should be 
  • confronted with the challenge to use one of those hours in prayer and Bible study.One hour per day adds up 365 hours per year -- 45 eight-hour days! 
  • Accumulated, those sixty minutes per day represent an awesome potential for change in the life of the Christian and the world around him.

Some Christians ask, "How can anyone possibly pray for an entire hour? 
  • Dick Eastman responds with a unique twelve-step prayer program. 
  • Each hour is divided into twelve-five minute "points of focus" 
  • a plan that will aid any sincere Christian in the development of a consistent daily devotional habit.
