Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-01 00:00:00 Robert Kennedy "Prayer is not a substitute for work, or merely preparation for work. It is work." (Ronald Dunn, Don't Just Stand There, Pray Something, Page 17) Well balanced book on intercessory prayer and "how tos" on starting an Intercessory Prayer Ministry in your church. I found this book very well organized and scriptural. It shows you the benefits of intercessory prayer and why God requires intercessors in the earth. God is looking for intercessors who will intercede for their nation, city, community, church, family...to bring heaven to earth, as God declares in Ezekiel 22:30: "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. This book had me praying all throughout. I encourage you to lift the instructions off the pages of this book and begin to pray and intercede and change your world!

Review # 2 was written on 2021-04-19 00:00:00 Emmanuel Rios A book about prayer, basically. Sound, fairly interesting, with some good anecdotes. Quite encouraging; if nothing new, it was a useful reminder of how important it is to pray for our loved ones and situations in general. I felt it went a little downhill at the end with a chapter about Revival which didn't really say much, and somewhat contradicted itself. I then found the appendices, about setting up a 'prayer ministry' so overwhelmingly complex and structured that I mentally and emotionally backed off! Somehow the writing style made it feel like an early 1980s book, although to my surprise it was first published in 1991. Not that it's a topic that dates, particularly, other than the appendixes where the author recommended, among other things, a 'rolodex' - I had to Google to find out what one of those was. On re-reading just three years later I found it quite inspiring and helpful although, once again, I found the appendices daunting in their detail. Recommended to anyone wanting an in-depth look at prayer. The author addresses some tricky questions that are often asked about prayer, with a clear and friendly style, concluding that while God does not need us to pray, he undoubtedly uses prayer.
