Louise Eggleston tells how three unrelated invitations toward Texas convinced her God was steering her to New Orleans. There a promise made to a widow filled a church and drew a friend’s hour of prayer for the city. She brought the account to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1964.
Louise Eggleston recounts a prayer group that pledged to heal a dying friend. They watched her go instead, because two members would not reconcile a private grudge. That failure built the Thursday circle she still leads. A hidden resentment, she tells the camps, can block a prayer.
Louise Eggleston tells the camps about a bedridden man who was feared for a lifetime of cruelty. Neighbors would not even greet him. He wept as she retold the parables of the lost son and the lost coin, and he finally prayed aloud, “I don’t see how you can love me.”
Louise Eggleston recalls seven hours with a scientist who told her he prayed each morning from five until seven. As a boy he had promised God that he would give two hours every day just to read the Bible. Every mind, she tells the camps, is a tiny bit of God’s mind.
Louise Eggleston lays out the foundations of effective prayer for the Kansas CFO: a surrendered life, Christ within, humility and love. She then points to a woman whose hospital records documented a cancer doctors had called inoperable, before her unshaken faith brought a full recovery.
Every thought shapes the body and the life we build, Louise Eggleston teaches at the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1959. She illustrates it with her two-year-old niece who, coaxed into eating spinach, echoed a television cigarette jingle straight back at her mother.
Louise Eggleston revisits, for the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1959, the founding of a training center a decade earlier. A roofer refused to touch a leaking tile roof rather than disturb a beehive, and a worker who cleared it found fifty years of stored honey.
Preaching on the promise to set the captives free, Louise Eggleston describes aiming a message at a minister’s secret drinking. She learned afterward that a young veteran in the third row had been hiding the very same struggle. The talk was given to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1957.
At the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1957, Louise Eggleston walks campers through the three temptations Jesus faced alone in the wilderness. There was his hunger, the lure of ruling the kingdoms of the world, and a dare to leap from the temple. She shows how scripture answered each one.
Louise Eggleston described a man paralyzed since infancy who set an empty chair in the pulpit for Jesus. He spoke to it for half an hour, then rose from his wheelchair and walked with two campers steadying him. She told it at the Indiana CFO in 1964.
