Dr. G. Rlay Jordan, theology pro
fessor at Emory University, a na
tive of Kinston, is author of ‘‘Pray
er That Prevails”.
In his new book, the professor
discusses prayer from five angles:
why, how, when, for what, and to
whom one prays. He states: “Any
individual can study prayer and
cultivate it with assurance of ever
deepening understanding and ever
increasing effectiveness.”
Dr. Jordan contends that “all of
us are praying all the time, since
prayer is desire, but effectiveness
requires unity of will, mind, and
heart, through which we may dis
cover the plan of God and give our
selves to His purpose.”
