5.0 out of 5 stars There simply isn't a better book on the subject of Prayer, January 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Intercessory Prayer: How God Can Use Your Prayers to Move Heaven and Earth (Paperback)

I'm not sure where the previous comments came from regarding this book straying from the biblical record - it simply isn't true - or either that, they didn't read the book. Dutch Sheet's book, Intecessory Prayer is simply the most definiative AND bibically sound book on prayer that there is today - so much so, that I would call it a DEFINITAVE WORK. There are many other very good books on prayer out there, but this book provides a theologically sound explanation of prayer which almost every Christian can apply immediately, leading them to a more fullilling prayer life. This revelatory information contained in this book has lifted my prayer life to a new level - I'll never be the same. Thanks Dutch!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Intercessory Prayer, September 21, 2005

By	Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" (Augusta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Intercessory Prayer: How God Can Use Your Prayers to Move Heaven and Earth (Paperback)

Dutch Sheets' book on intercessory prayer offers biblical, historical, and personal insights into the power of intercessory prayer. Without a doubt, intercessory prayer is the work of all true saints of God (1 Timothy 2:1-8). The Bible is clear on the power of prayer (Matthew 7:7-11; 21:22; Luke 18:1-8). However far too many Christians don't understand just how powerful our prayers can be. We alone contain the truth of God (John 14:6). We alone contain the true Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21). And yet cults and other world religions often shame us in their zeal and in their dedication to prayer (Matthew 6:7,8).

Sheets' book outlines just what is intercessory prayer. I found it to be helpful in showing us in Scripture the power of prayer in the lives of other believers. My only drawback to the book was the heavy emphasis upon experience. Prayer is an experience but it is not so much how we feel or what we see but our faith in God and what He can do through our prayers (Mark 11:22). Being devoted to prayer (Colossians 4:2) does not always mean I feel like praying but I pray because I am a disciple of Jesus (Luke 11:1) and I want to be just like Him in all that I do (1 John 2:6).

I can endorse this book and recommend other Christians to read it. Always read a book with your Bible open and your heart set on pleasing the Lord.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Foremost book on the practical application of Prayer., November 4, 1999

By	Rev. Helmut Duttchen ([e-mail]) (New Westminster. B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intercessory Prayer: How God Can Use Your Prayers to Move Heaven and Earth (Paperback)

4-11-99 This book is not for those who wish a quick fix. It is the compiling of one mans ministry over 20 years of experience are recorded here. It is a guide that will allow you to follow in the footsteps of intercession. Intercession is not easy, it is the hardest work that you will ever be involved in, because it asks you to be a servant of all. The author deals with the difficulty but gives you an aswer that is not only practicle but functional... You do not have to be a scholar to understand the terminology, and all of the explanantions are given clearly and concisely. I have given this book to over 50 people and used it as an instructional aid in teaching on prayer in my Congregation, it changed and touched the lives of all those who participated. If you are looking for practical help this book is the guide.
