Do you wonder why your prayers are not answered? Do you wonder why some people are healed, while others remain sick and diseased?Everyone talks about the issues of faith. This talking can make your head swim while you wish someone would come along to simplify and cut through all the rhetoric! Exhale, because God has bestowed Carlos Oliveira the ability to speak answers by bridging the simplicity of the Gospel with the common sense of the Holy Spirit. Carlos Oliveira demystifies what it means to have your prayers answered and what it means to walk by faith. You have probably heard the saying, "Gold comes in small packages." We could say that about Bruce Wilkinson's simple book, "The Prayer of Jabez." Truth of this saying is evidenced again in Carlos Oliveira's, "The Creative and Transforming Power of Desire." This book has deeply affected my life. It has opened my eyes to elements of the Gospel I'd never acknowledged and I believe my prayer life has entered a new level of power and authority. I invite you to let God use this little golden book to change your life as well.

This book is great for those of us who struggle from time to time to believe God for all the good things we want to achieve in our life, or for solutions to the problems we face. Using Psalm 37:4 as a starting point, the author shows how, when our faith is lacking, we should step back and begin by looking at our desires. Cultivating the desires in our heart, while walking in accordance with God's Word, is like cultivating a seed which eventually will produce faith. The examples used of several biblical characters like Joseph and Abraham, as well as the stories of present day people like you and me who exercised desire and saw fantastic results, encourage the reader to follow their example and put the Word of God into action in order to see similar results in their own life. Anything you desire can be achieved when you delight yourself in the Lord first. A simple yet deep and thought-provoking book!

All of us should know that God has given us numerous gifts. Not just the nine ones in First Corinthians 12. He gave us many others, and Desire is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most precious ones. Now I know how powerful desire is, and I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thanks again Carlos!

This book has taken me into a new level of faith. It is not only important to know what scriptural faith is, but also to know how to apply it in our lives. Carlos uses examples from God's word, to show us how to do just that. One such example is Hebrews 11. I highly recommend this book!

This book is very simple, practical and helpful. The chapter on Blessings and Curses really touched me and opened my eyes.
What I like most about this book is the testimonies of people who got healed and set free through simple faith just like what we see in the Bible. I wish you all read this book.

God bless you,
