The Prayer That Makes a Difference
God's will is not automatic. His promises must be obtained by faith, and prayer expresses that faith. One of the greatest regrets we will have when we get to heaven will be when we discover all that God would have done and given. Either we did not ask, or we failed to ask according to His will; therefore, we never received. OMA VAN GELDEREN walked by faith and not by sight as she grew to understand the witness of the Holy Spirit as a fact of knowledge and not a feeling. She knew neither fame nor fortune, yet God used her prayer life to make a difference.

Wow
All I can say is that I learned so much and plan on putting it into practise. I am glad this author took the time to find out how this special woman of God lived and could pass on to those who want to learn.

Great prayer inspiration
Quick read that packs a powerful punch. Wonderful example of intercessory prayer and a beautiful relationship M's. Oma had with her Savior, Jesus Christ.

What a Legacy!
Most parents think about the legacy we want to leave to our children, and to the next generation. How do we want to be remembered? What do we hope our kids will learn from us? In this quick read, the life and legacy of one simple yet remarkable woman is revealed, and the impact her prayers had on her family members and many others. Her devotion to prayer is a reminder to all Christians of the access we have to our powerful God.
I’m appreciative of the author’s work in recognizing Oma Van Gelderen’s life and am challenged by her words in the opening introduction: “Our families need intercessors. Our country needs intercessors. Our world needs intercessors.” Amen to that!

Learning how to pray it through
Oh that we each could leave a legacy like Oma! Have you wondered how to pray to get results? Ever wondered if God is listening? What is God's will? How can I pray according to his will? Oma knew the answers and her children share them. This is one book that can be read repeatedly and reveal new truths each time. I can't declare as she did, "I've got it!" Someday I hope.

Great Biography
This is a very quaint biography heralding one woman's life long faith journey. The story takes Oma from childhood through maturity. It provides relevant Bible verses at the beginning of each chapter. The book provides personal reflections on the Bible verses. The book tells many stories from Oma's life. It's an enjoyable read.
