Summary: Prayer is Power
Comment: At the outset, Eastman warns us not to become a slave to any system of prayer, but at the same time he offers a systematic approach that helps a person gain a better focus while praying. That is a wise word for the study that follows. He presents a prayer clock, broken down into segments. It isn't meant to be rigidly followed, but serve as a guide to be alterated as appropriate.
He starts with priase, adoring God for Who He is and for what He has done. The prayer of Jesus, the Lord's prayer is the model for this type of prayer. It is in this act that we shift the emphasis from self to God.
The second segment looks at waiting on God in silent reverence. He cites historical examples of people of action, who had cultivated this art masterfully.
He continues with confession, praying the Scriptures, watching, intercession, and so on. Reading this book can help you "love the Lord your God will all your mind." It increases prayer effectiveness by enhancing your spiritual awareness.

Summary: A turning point
Comment: What more can I say than this: As a sort of agnostic who did believe in Christ but didn't have him in my heart, I took this practical little book aside and began an hour-long prayer vigil using Eastman's outline as a guide. Before thirty minutes had passed, Christ changed my life and my character permanently. That was nine years ago. I'm not perfect, but I do know Jesus in a way I never did before.
I know God uses all sorts of vessels to come into people's hearts, but I can personally vouch for this one.

Summary: The singlemost important book on prayer you can read.
Comment: Unlike most books on prayer which admonish the benefits of it, Eastman's book fulfills the request, "Teach us to pray." In a simple step-by-step approach, Eastman teaches the Christian how to pray, and not just for himself, but others, too. Built into Eastman's 12 steps are a worship praise period, Scripture reading and Scripture praying, learning how to pray for others and yourself more effectively. Christians experiencing depression will find it breaking up as they learn to get out of themselves, become other oriented, and pray for others. The Hour That Changes The World takes you from an activity to a relationship with the Living God.
