VW. I have heard of Beth Moore and quite like her. I get a lot from her teachings which are mostly geared toward women. She is very grounded in the Word of God. She obviously does hold baptist doctrine in many respects, but I have found very little of that in the core of her teaching. It is obvious that she submits to the Holy Spirit when writing her Bible Studies. I actually finished a book of hers in January. It is called Breaking Free. As you can probably tell from the title it is about breaking free from the bondage of the enemy. I would say that at least 99% if not more of what she says in this teaching is compatible with WoF if not directly related, though she, of course, doesn't identify it as such. And I can say that that book was a great catalyst to the amazing way God worked in my life after the first of the year.
In response to the OP. I've always been rather suspicious of book prayers, but I have used them. Not these in particular, though. Generally, what I use them for is to get me in a prayerful mindset. Sometimes I discover things that I don't even think to pray about or to pray about it in that way. I also get this same thing when I hear other believers pray.
I think that just saying the prayer or reading it is a confession which can be done prayerfully and is good in building faith. However, if that prayer is internalized and becomes your heart's longing supplication, then it is definitely more than confession. I prefer books that teach about the principals of prayer when it comes to intercession especially, like Andrew Murray's books.

as always, a well-balanced and great post Supplanter. While I may not be a BIG fan of Mrs. Moore, I did watch her teach on TBN and she was definitely under the anointing. I think she was teaching on (coincidentally) defeating the enemy in one's life.
Andrew Murray is the BEST. He was definitely the WoF teacher of his time.

I have definitely used them in my early days of getting more acquianted with the Word. I have seen God answer these prayers because they came from a heart which fed on the Scriptures prior to praying the Scriptures- faith was present. I still keep these books in my library- I have a quick reference to Scriptures that I may want to feed upon and build my faith up in a certain area.
I was at Rhema in the early to mid 90's and can tell you Brother Hagin always preached having balance so you would not get into a ditch on either side of the road. The most important thing is to put the Word first place in our lives- that is how we get the victory!
By the way, regarding the earlier comments about the disagreements between Fred Price and Ken Hagin Jr., these 2 gentlemen have gotten together and reconciled themselves-praise God!
