"I think, having read the book, I understand better why we must pray--God needs us to. The author quotes Ezek 22: 30 & 31 and then comments: "The passage is clearly saying, 'While My justice demanded judgement, My love wanted forgiveness. Had I been able to find a human to ask Me to spare this people, I could have. It would have allowed Me to show mercy. Because I found no one, however, I had to destroy them.'" In a real way God is giving us the terrible responsibilty to take part in bringing His love to the world. We can wish He had chosen a different path, but we must accept that He knows best. I never really felt this before reading this book."

" if you read no other book about prayer and intercessory read THIS BOOK! "
— Siki, 2/5/2014" LOVED this book! expanded my understanding of intercessory prayer and everything that it is, without overcomplicating it. Must read for new intercessors and those who want to deepen and take their intercession to the next level "
— Aimee, 1/11/2014" The best book on intercessory prayer I've ever read. In my opinion, Sheets does not develop a fully biblical picture of God's Sovereignty in this book so that can be a little struggle at times. But his contribution to this work of intercession is so profound, helpful, practical, challenging, and inspiration that it deserved five stars in my eyes. If 4 1/2 was an option, I would have selected it. This would be true of almost all Christian book read, but the more developed reality of seeing everything through a covenantal framework would strengthen more the impact of the content of this book. "
— Richard, 1/11/2014" Don't agree with everything in this book but it is powerful and life changing. "
— Jason, 12/10/2013" Very good book. Packed with humor, scriptural references and sound teaching. I will read it again. "

— Larry, 10/29/2013" A bit laborious with all the Greek, but you'll be rewarded if you finish the book. Dutch Sheets comes from a Prophetic Movement background. "
— Kim, 10/27/2013" Intercessory Prayer is a super practical book for Christians to discover, develop and maintain their prayer life. "
— Cami, 10/23/2013" This is perhaps...One of the best books ever written other than the Holy Bible...It's a must read for all who profess to be Christian, and those who want to be. Iyt is impossible for you to reamin a baby in Christ once you've read Dutch Sheets book. "
— Danny, 10/17/2013" Totally revolutionized my thinking of the impact of our prayers. I have read many books on prayer but I believe this is the best one on intercession. "

— Susan, 3/31/2013" Some good concepts. However, some of his theology is a bit shaky. "
— Janice, 1/13/2013" It had some interesting points on prayer, but I felt like many of conclusions were tenuous at best, and he came at his subject matter from a pentacostal viewpoint, which is different than mine. "

— Lana, 8/29/2011" A very interesting book on prayer that dares to talk about the subject from a warrior's point of view. Some of what Dutch says will probably jar you, but I see nothing in this book that is contrary to scriptural teaching. "
