Publisher Description
One thing moves God: faith. Not doctrinal savvy. Not willpower. Trust in God alone stirs him to move miraculously on our behalf. Time and again, Jim Cymbala, author of Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, has seen the power of faith displayed in the lives of the ordinary people in his church -- and in his own life. He has seen drug addicts and prostitutes set free, marriages restored, and sinners transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. All through the kind of radical, living faith described in this audio book. Hear about it -- and discover how fresh faith can change your life, too.

"A great book to realize the power of God through typical people who are open to God's leading. The power of the Spirit in ordinary people to do extraordinary ministry for the gospel is extremely encouraging. The story of a man "untrained" by Seminary/Denominational standards plants a church in New York City - it never stops growing to this day! What is the trick? Prayer! Spirit-led prayer fuels a church to stand on the gospel in order to see lives transform from drugs, addictions, prostitution, homosexuality, and murder into people who love God through Jesus and live for His glory in the church. A very touching story that will motivate you to live a life worthy of your calling in Christ Jesus!"

" Helped me understand the shear power of prayer and the absolute significance of it when it comes to having God move within the Church and within myself. "
— Jake, 2/14/2014 -
" This is a very good book that focuses on the need for prayer (and the lack thereof) in churches today. He does a very good job of balancing the sovereignty of God with the responsibility of people, which is a difficult task indeed when handling the topic of prayer. His call is simple and straight-forward, we need to stop focusing on the unimportant and come back to seeking God. This book caused me on many occasions to stop and spend time seeking the face of God and cry out to Him through prayer. I believe that this is a book I will recommend to many people in the future, as well as reading it semi-regularly myself. "

" Amen! You can't argue with this book. He's lived it and seen the results. We can do the same and watch God work, too. This book was much more down to earth than I expected it to be. An easy and enjoyable (albeit convicting) read. "
