Abraham. Moses. Christ. Paul. You.

World Changers!

God's mercy still triumphs over judgement.You and I matter to God. Our prayers sound in His ears, the results of which ripple through eternity.

One man or woman to stand in the gap can change the destiny of a person, a neghborhood, a city, a country and beyond. Frangipane points to the lives of Saint Patrick, Brother Laurence, General Booth, John Bunyan, Charles Finney as examples of otherwise ordinary men who changed their times.

Frangipane also makes a powerful point when he says "God gives us spiritual authority to protect those whom we love." and conversely, "...my lack of prayer left people vulnerable to the enemy."

The Holy Spirit convinced me on both counts. I have power and authority to prevail in prayer for my family and friends....but also beyond! The effectiveness of my intercessory prayer is limited only by my love for others...or the lack of it - a thrilling yet sobering lesson for intercessors.

So many lessons so plainly stated. The further I go on with God, the more I discover the power of the simple truth and how easily it has eluded my eyes.

Thanks, Frangipane, for your clear-sightedness.

The "Power of One Christlike Life" will challenge you to look differently at the world around you.Francis Frangipane leads the reader through the scripture and gives the example of how Christ treated those he came in contact with.If love isn't your motivation to reach the world for Christ then you need to look again at the one who started Christianity.You may get a little tired of the many scripture references Francis uses but there will be no doubt when you're done that what he's trying to get across is grounded in scripture.I especially enjoyed the brief biographical sketches at the beginning of each chapter about contemporary christians and it gave me hope that I too can change the world around me for Christ.

This book really spells out the character of Christ. I found this book inspiring and motivating. Our lives really are hidden in Christ and the author does an excellent job of explaining just how much that is true.

The message Francis Frangipane wants to convey is that 'God's mercy triumphs over judgement', He is slow to anger and abounds in lovingkindness. When we are tempted to be judgemental, resentful or self-righteous, we can choose to pray for mercy for the person or group concerned. Even one Christlike person praying in this way can change the predicted outcome. I found the book enormously encouraging, and empowering; I as an individual can touch the heart of God when I intercede on someone's behalf.
