Praying in the Spirit
The Praying in the Spirit Series.
Robert W. Graves wrote Praying in the Spirit (Chosen Books) in 1987, when it received great reviews from a number of Pentecostal/charismatic scholars and leaders including John Sherrill, Dr. Vinson Synan, Dr. Gordon Fee, Dr. William Menzies, Dr. Howard Ervin, Dr. Walter Martin, and Dr. Stanley Horton. It is the great privilege of the Pneuma Review to republish it here.

In June 2017, Robert Graves wrote:
Praying in the Spirit was updated and expanded this year. It is more than 65% longer than the original with current updates, new arguments, and added chapters. Of course, it needed it after 30 years! If you’re buying a copy make sure you get the Empowered Life Academic edition, 280 pages (Empowered Life Academic is an imprint of Harrison House Publishers).
This index was later included in the Winter 2023 issue.
Years ago after Praying in the Spirit was a couple of years old, I met Harald Bredesen at a local church. I told him about the book and he prayed that it would catch a second wind. This was before the Internet and social media. I’ve always considered its serialization by The Pneuma Review as an answer to that prayer. And now it may have caught a third wind (the second being the Pneuma Review hard copy)! So thank you for the work of the Pneuma Foundation!
