The Grace Outpouring: Blessing Others Through Prayer (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
This book had been recommended to me by a few people so I decided to give it a go. I didn't really know what to expect but enjoyed hearing about what God is doing at Ffald-y-Brenin. I came away with a few changes to the way in which I view my Christian life, particularly the fact that the God who I gave my life to is powerful and that I have authority because of him. The book however didn't blow my mind in the way I thought it might, which is why I didn't give a higher star rating. "The Grace Outpouring" is an true account by Ray Godwin of the adventures with God of a couple who left a frightfully nice house in the Chilterns to set up a centre for prayer in western Wales, called Ffald-y-Brenin. This is a readable book, mainly because of the variety of people whose stories are told-the healing events but also the local people. It also ties in with the concepts of Celtic Christianity, which only really came out on the second reading.This is, like life, quite disorganised and is deeply imbedded in the local Cymri population and its life. While it will encourage prayer, the quiet,rambling tone which reflects accurately the spiritual approach will frustrate some North American readers who need quick answers(it is distributed through David C.Cook).This isn't for everyone I know, but those that like it will like it a lot. Even the curious who want to know how praying for people feels and works. without wanting to investigate the 'religious stuff' behind it will enjoy this book.
