Encouragement directly from God's Word

This is a great read. It helps you to cling to God's Word no matter what.

Praying for Results!

We're told that some people cancel out their prayers by praying for one result, then expecting another. Worry focuses the mind on the opposite of the desired result. Biblical prayer is faith-centered, i.e., the desire of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (see Hebrews 11:1). Reading this book helps one to pray more effectively because it conditions the mind to expect the desired outcome.Keeping Joseph (in the book of Genesis) in mind, we're reminded that what the enemy means for harm, God can turn for our good. He is so creative, He can create good out of chaos. Prayer causes us to realize God is at work in circumstances and to expect His intervention. Meyer writes, "Remember we are not the potter, God is, and we certainly don't know hot to 'fix' people."On the issue of praying fervently, what she teaches reminds me of something I read by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale along the same lines. She says such praying involves putting one's whole self into prayer. All the mind, the emotion, and the will are included in praying fervently.This is a powerful, life-changing book. Its insight is practical and all encompassing. Read it, mark it, put it into effect.

Wonderful..... Informative

This is the first of Joyce Meyer's book that I am reading and it would not be my last. This lady writes with such a Holy strength and command, it draws you like magnet. She explains in great detail those things that bother us and play about in our minds as we strive to do our utmost best living Christian lives. There is something comforting in the way this book is written probably because it has answered so many of our puzzling questions. May all who read this material be richly blessed by this great and wonderful work of God's servant, Joyce Meyer. Reviewed by Heather Marshall Negahdar (SUGAR-CANE)

Powerfully affected my prayer life!

I found this book to be a very helpful resource. The author is a talented bible teacher and uses scripture to share the simple, but POWERFUL truth about prayer. I have purchased several of these to share with friends and family - they borrow it and then want one of their own!

Uplifting and Comforting

This isn't meant to be an intellectual book. You can be an intellectual, come from an intellectual church background, and still appreciate this book. Sometimes you need a simple to the point message, to be encouraged, and to be refreshed. This book offers just that.
