This book is a lot about getting one's mind right about who God is, what He's like and who we get to be as a result. That opens the door to dead-raising and the miracles Jesus commanded us to do.
I love it and the risk Tyler has taken to write it.

This amazing book has opened up whole new worlds for me. Starting with who God is, what he has for me, and how I can tap into the abundance he longs to give. It's about so much more than raising the dead. Highly recommend, with the understanding that the title will simply turn off some people's interest. Too bad.

I once had an opportunity to pray for someone who passed away to come back and since I heard of the DRT, I bought this book to find some experience reports and practical tips.
Although there are some personal accounts described here, they aren't many and I found this book disappointing in a couple of ways.
First, although there are some practical tips, they aren't many in a way that for instance Praying Medic writes about in his book 'Divine Healing Made Simple'. I'd love to have some detailed reports on how they prayed, faced common challenges and what they said during prayer to give someone who has never done it some vocabulary.
The second MAJOR issue I have, and this is where the book completely slips off, is that Tyler picks and chooses what he believes from the Bible and what not. He goes as far as saying that even in the Old Testament God never gave orders to kill people, but that Moses misinterprets God and that we should look to Jesus instead.
"Simply said, you can either choose the teachings of Jesus and who He revealed the Father to be, or you can believe what Moses believed and wrote down about God. Your choice. God was either killing all along and will be in heaven (Hebrews 13:8), or He never did." (Location 4319 in Kindle version)
I have many problems with this statement.
First of all, the accounts that God ordered Israel to kill other nations are plenty and not just in the books of Moses (remember Saul how lost his position of King by not obeying the command to completely wipe out Amelek)
Second, you cannot say "Jesus view on God is right and Moses had it wrong" in this way.
JESUS BELIEVED the Old Testament and walked as a prophet under the Old Testament and came in to give a New Covenant after fulfilling the Old Covenant. Jesus FREQUENTLY affirmed the books and status of Moses. If there are multiple pieces of scripture that seem to contradict on the nature of God, you should not pick what you like, you should dig for deeper revelation. In this case, things actually DO line up if you take into account the different systems, Old Covenant vs. New Covenant.
Let me conclude in saying that I wholly appreciate someone having the guts and boldness to create a Dead Raising Team and just go out there and do it. In this way he sets an inspiring and challenging example. Just take the theology in this book with a big grain of salt. It's too bad I cannot recommend this book mostly because of the stuff that's off-topic.

The best book ever on God and raising the dead. Tyler's work on the person of God is simple as well as revolutionary to the psyche of modern day Christianity. You want to get rid of the restraints of religion in your life? Read everything this guy has - pure perfection!
