Praying the Scriptures is the story of an African womans Christian conversion in Nigeria and her extraordinary journey to Belfast, responding to the call of God on her life. She describes an intensive time of spiritual growth and development as a new Christian at a university in Nigeria, drawing on the description of the Christian life in the book of Acts and the way in which her small house church adopted the technique of using the scriptures to underpin prayer and intercession as powerful weapons against the traditional practices of spiritism in African rural communities. As a young mother, she found herself called to a new and surprising mission to Belfast in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles. After a time of intensive intercession for the local community, she moved to England, where God has to continue to bring her the gift of praying the scriptures to new communities who have been deeply affected by this fresh revelation of the power of Gods word.
