Fireless prayer is the blight on the body of Christ today. Fred Hartley.

This is one of those books that has ignited and spurred on my own journey with the Holy Spirit in prayer. Not a long read but one that is full of scripture and stories.

Hartly and Penland present a theology of God as fire and show how our prayers can be ignited with God’s power. They relate how the Holy Spirit lights a fire in us through prayer. They approach prayer from a Pentecostal perspective, showing its power because of the God we pray to.

God’s people have a great power they don’t realize. God’s power through personal prayer with Him burns away the sin in us. He teaches us how to live and minister outside the box that many Christians never get outside of to truly minister in His power.

They include a chapter on how to pray as a family, teach her children how to pray, and how to lead prayer in the home. Every member of your family can learn how to pray the kinds of prayers that moved God’s hand in power.

They include personal stories of how God has used them, their family members, and their congregation and powerful ways through prayer. When we pray on fire, Jesus can do incredible things we could never imagine.

I enjoyed the Pentecostal perspective of the book, along with the theology of fire in the beginning. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience greater power in their prayer life and to see God move in revival and renewal of His Church. We should all desire to see God let our world on holy fire for His name. Let it begin with us.

I am really impressed with Fred’s book. It challenged me in prayer land before I finished reading VERY cool Holy Spirit activity started manifesting. Friendships reconnected, forgiveness was abundant and the Holy Spirit’s presence was more recognizable for me.

Another great book by Hartley. Practical, refreshing, renewing.

Great book on Holy Spirit Baptism. And sound theology on the subject of the HolySpirit(Fire) Baptism. Must read for all Christians, who seek for more of God. If you are looking for Holy Spirit Anointing, look no further. Read this book; you will get a clear understanding.This book will only complement Bible, for the deeper understanding of Holy Spirit you should always look into Bible and Ask Jesus(Holy Spirit) to help you interpret the Bible Scriptures. And God bless you on your Journey.

[David Smith]

A missing element in many books on prayer is the Holy Spirit. They don’t adequately connect prayer with the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit. In contrast, Fred Hartley tells us that effective prayer is generated by God the Holy Spirit and leads us to a fresh encounter with the living God. This is a paradigm shift. Our prayers can be on fire with God and for God!

This book did not really help me much in my prayer life.

Matthew 6:9-13 really is what Jesus tells about prayer. The Psalms are also great to pray back to God. Otherwise, just tell God what's on your heart. If you belong to Him, He'll hear it.

This is one of those life-changing books every Christian should read.
