When I heard about John I thought he would be just another rigid fundamentalist -- sin-conscious and unable to relate to the common Christian. Instead, what I heard was a message of *balance*. He rightfully points out that many of us love God but few of us *respect* Him. As a result we give place, by surrendering our own place, to the devil. The authority God intended for us is taken from us and used against us! This began with Adam who gave place (authority) to the devil and the devil has exercised that authority against man ever since.

John Bevere has a powerful anointing as a result of recognizing his own authority and resisting spiritual intimidation; it shows in this book.

I've been a spirit-filled believer for nearly 20 years and I can't remember being affected so strongly by the words of a minister. Since recognizing my own authority and the temptations to surrender it through various forms of intimidation, I have found a new power and focus. This book helped me do that.

If you know that you have a calling on your life yet affraid to walk in your God given authority/annointing, you MUST read this book. From beginning to end this book is awesome. You will feel shackles being broken even as you read. I tell you the truth, I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. When I finished reading it, I started reading it again. Breaking Intimidations has sooooooooo much information and real life experiences in it that you'll want to read it again - just in case you missed something. I have recommended it to others who say the same thing - IT'S A MUST READ to stop being intimidated. I bought this book for my Pastor also and He and his wife agree that it is a must read.

I think this is an excellent book. I purchased it because I am having difficulty in my Christian life and saw this book and thought it would help, and it does. It shows how to break free from intimidation and to put ALL of your trust in the Lord, not in yourself or in others, but in Him. Very good book.

I have always had this book on my shelf and never really opened to read it. Then I talked to John Bevere after service one evening about the depression I was experiencing in my life and he recommended this book. I saw the video and read the book and it totally turned my life around. I was healed and freed from depression, by letting go of the fear in my life. Also, I know how to deal with it if it ever decides to creep back in my life. John Bevere with the help of God's word, equipps us with a tool that we can't live without. What a blessing!!!!!!

I read alot of books and some are so so. Some you pick up a few nuggets of gold. But this book has really changed my life. I would highly recommend this book.

Breaking Intimidation was a very good book. It describes in excellent fashion how Satan tries to make us ineffective in our walk with Christ. It is his greatest mission to make us a mockery to God. I think that this book can be an excellent tool in helping a believer to fight the good fight.

Absolutely true what the other reviewers are saying! This is a life-giving and changing book that is difficult to put down. I was a bit surprised on what the one negative review stated. No where does John Bevere suggest one stays in authority (hid in Christ) by striving or being unkind. And actually he does give many Biblical precidents where one can lose authority by giving into intimidation. Bevere is speaking about losing authority and the ability to excercise gifts for the benefit of the body of Christ--not about losing one's salvation and certainly not about relying on ourselves for power or answers. Depression,broken families, split churches, lack of joy--most of us have seen it, experienced it. This book shows the roots of it. And the basic root, Bevere explains, is NOT doing what we are told to do--which is lay down our self life. This book isn't an easy read by any means. Thank God. I've recently read most of Bevere's books. Balance. Root causes and the truth in all of them. I'm also recommending several other books and authors that I feel all work together. Different messages--but all in unity, that have helped me immensely see clearer the word of God. The True Nature of God by Andrew Wommack. Why I Left the Prophetic Movement by Andrew Strom. I have found all books by Wommack, Bevere, Strom and also Ray Comfort to be balanced and working the same good things I believe God wants us to know to come into unity, power and godly authority.

It is a book about people who have been intimidated either part of their life or most of their life. It is a book about when a person has a psychological over-powering control over another human being. The only lord of a person's life should be Christ - but if a person is walking on eggshells because of the actions of another person - then they need to be set free and realize the freedom they have in Christ - rather than being eternally intimdated. That is what this book is about.

Outstanding...this book is one of the best. If you don't know where to turn, you can start by turning these pages. Seriously, I could not put this book down.

I found this book to very helpful! It enables me to spot "who" is behind my husbands or others criticisms and what to do about it!
