Prayer is Invading the Impossible [Paperback]

Jack W. Hayford (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2002

With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

Prayer is not a mystical experience of a few special people, but an aggressive act in the face of impossibility—an act that may be performed by anyone who will accept the challenge of learning to pray.

Jack Hayford’s Prayer Is Invading the Impossible is a practical, how-to book that encourages you to do just that—pray! This best-selling book will show you how to:

face seeming impossibilities.
be honest with God and yourself.
wage effective spiritual warfare.
find victory for life.

"Prayer can change anything," Pastor Hayford writes. "The impossible doesn’t exist. His is the power’. Ours is the prayer. Without Him, we cannot. Without us, He will not."

Originally published in 1977, Prayer Is Invading the Impossible is Pastor Hayford’s first book. Over the past 25 years, it has become a prayer classic. Read this Silver Anniversary Edition, and learn why!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Ready to Invade..., October 7, 2003

This review is from: Prayer is Invading the Impossible (Paperback)

Pastor Jack's classic book, Prayer is Invading the Impossible, is a well-written expose concerning his belief about the relationship of the kingdom of God and the centrality of prayer. This book is not just about prayer. One will be surprised to find all the references to the kingdom of God and God's awesome purposes for believers today. There are ideas about prayer, praying, and being a person of prayer. There are also practical tips and stirring discourses regarding prayer. Although you and I would probably find things we disagree with, it is a great book. I was a little nervous that is would just be another boring devotional book on prayer, but it is far more than that. It is excellent. It will get your batteries charged!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in class, November 20, 2008

This review is from: Prayer is Invading the Impossible (Paperback)

Simply put this is one of the best books on prayer and especially warfare that I have read. Pastor Jack knows this subject well. It is exciting to read how God has given us all a position in Him that can affect real change using the weapons we have been given and learning to stand in faith in our Lord. I recommend this to every Christian who is serious about their prayer life and their relationship with The Savior. In fact the copy I am reviewing is one I bought to give to a friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars DATED BUT PRETTY GOOD, August 14, 2007

This review is from: Prayer is Invading the Impossible (Paperback)

Hayford has a very 70's style of writing in this book. In my opinion it tends to be distracting today, though it may have been helpful when first introduced.
He does provoke many challenging thoughts about prayer which seem to stand up to investigation. I haven't found any statements to be in conflict with scripture as yet. Neither have I seriously experienced Christianity from a charismatic perspective.
If you can get past the writing style, I think this is a good book to prompt investigation into the charasmatic christian experience.
