I agree with Praxeas, good books you have listed. Bro. Holman has another book on prayer, Conquest Through Prayer. I have read The Intercessors and Conquest Through Prayer many, many times.
Sis. Vesta Mangun has a book, The Best of Vesta Mangun that covers prayer.
Also, Bro. Dale Starks wrote a book, Turn Up The Heat (Five Levels of Prayer).
I have some other books on prayer here somewhere, at the moment I can't recall the titles. When I'm able, I will take a look and post the info. here.

Years ago I was reading a book by Andrew Murray and I was enthusiastic about it, then he mentioned the trinity, that was like a bucket of ice water, I just lost all interest in it.

Yea, I get that way too. Like Elmer Towns has some good books on prayer but he ruins it when he starts talking about the trinity. However, his book on fasting is good because he uses scripture about that and doesn't mention trinity.

When I read a book, often there are some things I don't agree with, but if I agree with the overall premise of the book, I will continue to read. Sometimes you have to pull the bones out of the fish. I enjoy reading Andrew Murray, he has a lot of great spiritual insight, and while I might not agree on his trinity terminology, doesn't mean I won't at least hear the rest of what he has to say.

A. W. Tozer is another writer that I thoroughly enjoy reading, as well as Oswald Chambers. Just because they have a different way of explaining how they understand the godhead does not mean that they do not believe in one God manifesting himself in different ways.

If you could throw away the trinity bones, Murray's books are absolutely wonderful meat.

I preach all the time against the trinity, so knowing that a book promotes the trinity somehow does not make me enthusiastic about reading it.
I do read Trinitarian books, because there is a dearth of Oneness books on some areas or subjects, but if a oneness book is available in the same area, then I would prefer it.
unfortunately I have found out that the quality in oneness book is often not very good, which makes me want to throw up my hands up in despair.
So my choices in learning often amount to this.
A high quality book, written intelligently and reasonably but with a Trinitarian bent.
or
A poor quality book, written not very intelligently and sometimes not quite reasonably but with no Trinitarian bent.
