Extreme Prayer: The Impossible Prayers God Promises to Answer

by Greg Pruett, Max Lucado (Foreword)

It's not about praying more . . .
It's about praying differently.

What do you do when you're desperate to hear God's voice? Surprisingly, it is in our most heart-hungry moments―when we feel overwhelmed or alone, struggle with unanswered prayers, or just aren’t sure what to do―that we are actually poised to pray the most effective kinds of prayers possible.

Extreme Prayer taps into that longing for connection with God when we need it most by teaching us to pray the kinds of prayers Jesus promised to answer. Drawing on Scripture, Greg Pruett shows how to intentionally tap into Jesus’ open-ended promises about prayer in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom impact.

Access the power of extreme prayer—and watch as God's immeasurable glory is unleashed in your life.

[Wesley Crump · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book will challenge you to step up your prayer life in faith. The author shows how God can move through what he calls "extreme prayer" through his own life and Scripture. His method: ACTIVE - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Intercession, Vanquishing Satan, Extreme Prayer. We often stop after intercession and don't press on into the "impossible". Extreme prayer is marked with persistence, unity (group prayer), specific asks, complaints in trials (Job/Jeremiah). Solid book and if you aren't slow like me you could read it in one or two sittings.

[Ryan Dufoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing book that will both inspire and challenge the reader(s) to pray more boldly, more specifically, and more often.

It would be so easy to say that I found certain phrases cheesey in a self-help sort of way, or that Pruett sounds further down the charismatic faith spectrum than I would align myself. Maybe that would give me an out for what Pruett and God are calling us to in response to reading this book.

This book is a light read with simple, attainable language and awesome stories of Pruett witnessing God at work. I cannot claim the same lightness for the change it asks you to make with your life. As a Bible Translator, Pruett is specially trained to know God's word in and out, but that training also helps him know how to deliver it and it's demands right into the palm of your hand.

Don't expect this book to leave you unchanged. It's best to read it week by week in a group setting, whether with your family, small group, faith-based organization or ministry staff, around a table with friends at a coffee shop, or all of the above. Be ready to have your world shaken up by discipline and answered prayers as you make prayer THE strategy.

Great little book, love the ACTIVE prayer specifically. (Adoration, confession, Thanksgiving, intercession, vanquish enemies.) All in Jesus' name. It's worth coming back to for a re-read!

Given to me by MRN Board President. And fun to find out the West Africa relationship to A and M Johnson too! :)

"When you faithfully unite with others to persist in group prayer for specific endeavors consistent with his character and plan, God's power will far surpass your imagination."

Straightforward primer on prayer from a former missionary in West Africa who is now the president of Pioneer Bible Translators. Chapters on unified group prayer and laments ("faith-filled complaints") stood out the most to me.

[Nicole Prickett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t often come across radical insights that rock my heart in ministry due to being lifelong follower of Christ—this book has practical ways to apply prayer & tangibly convict of higher perspective. Highly recommend.

[Rebekah Barkman · Rating 5 out of 5]

The most concise book I’ve read on prayer. Full of helpful practices and a few ideas from Scripture that I hadn’t encountered before.

This was written by the president of Pioneer Bible Translators, with a focus on, as you can guess, prayer! It gave helpful tips on bettering our prayer life, including praying with a community and having specific, instead of generalized, prayers.

From the very beginning of his book Extreme Prayer: The Impossible Prayers God Promises to Answer, Greg Pruett, pulls readers in with his honesty and transparency, sharing how his marriage and cross-cultural ministry in West Africa would have failed except he says that “God honored our decision to pray instead of giving up.”

The Pruetts found themselves struggling to live in a small African village with no modern conveniences, hand-washing cloth diapers with no running water or washing machine. Trying to live in a difficult land and culture took energy enough, but the Pruetts also faced the pressure of translating the Bible among a people who traditionally followed the Qur’an.

Pruett says, “I believe God took me out on a limb and sawed it off because he wanted me to find out that He is real. . . He wanted me to learn than when it comes to success or failure, prayer is vital.”
Throughout the remainder of Extreme Prayer, he shows readers how to tap into the power of extreme prayer in the midst of desperate and heart-hungry moments. Pruett doesn’t just spout platitudes; instead, he shares tried and true lessons he learned himself through twelve years of cross-cultural ministry and then as president of Pioneer Bible Translators since 2007.

Initially, I was a little concerned reading some of the chapter titles like “Blank Checks,” “Name Power,” and “Blind Faith.” So many Bible teachers have misused these principles and turned them into a “name it and claim it” theology. Others have suggested that if one prays and is not healed from an illness, he doesn’t have enough faith.

Pruett himself said he based the idea of extreme prayer on the study and application of Jesus’ scriptural promises to do whatever we ask when we pray in His name. So, I was pleased to read that Pruett qualified his statement by saying, “Praying in Jesus’ name´ doesn’t mean asking for a Ferrari and tacking on the magic words ‘in Jesus’ name.’ It means presenting requests that resonate with Jesus’ character, praying ‘for his name’s sake’ prayers that advance his plans for the earth—in other words, proclaiming Kingdom of God-oriented prayers.”

At another point, Pruett says that faith in God results in extreme answers to our extreme prayers. Again, I was a bit concerned. But not for long! Pruett said, “Just because our prayers are not answered as we expect does not necessarily mean our faith is the problem,” and he goes on to address reasons we might not get the answer we expect. I guess I shouldn’t have questioned a Bible translator’s accuracy in interpreting biblical principles.

Overall, I found Extreme Prayer to be highly encouraging as well as motivating. All the way through, Pruett maintained a kingdom focus, showing readers how to prayer big prayers that line up with God’s Word and His desires. I can't wait to put these principles into practice my own prayer life and experience God in new and exciting ways.

If you’re looking to strengthen or freshen up your prayer life, I guarantee you will enjoy this book and grow from it. I’d even recommend that small groups or ministry teams read, pray and study through Extreme Prayer together. At the end of each chapter are some great questions for personal reflection and group discussion.

Let’s be honest. Full disclosure. If our local church had not been asked to collectively read this little, 123-page guidebook, in preparation for choosing and receiving a new lead pastor, no doubt none of our church members would ever know what author Greg Pruett wrote here.

Right up front, Pruett confesses that “prayer is a challenge for most of us. Some of us have never been taught what to do. Others are not convinced of the power of prayer.” Also in the first chapter, the author defines “extreme prayer” as “intentionally praying the kinds of prayers that tap into all of Jesus’ open-ended promises about prayer in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom impact.” Pruett goes on to explain that “extreme prayer is not the only way to pray; it’s not a replacement for praying about your individual needs.”

You may already be familiar with the ACTS model of effective praying. In addition to including elements of (A) adoration, (C) confession, (T) Thanksgiving, and (S) supplication or intercession, Pruett suggests two more elements: (V) vanquishing Satan, that is practicing regular spiritual warfare, and (E) extreme prayer, that is maximizing all the prayer promises of Jesus. Utilizing all those elements in our prayers, Pruett suggests, helps create an ACTIVE prayer life.

In unpacking “the impossible prayers God promises to answer,” the author unpacks his passionate thesis with eight short chapters, not including his introduction in which Pruett teaches “extreme prayer begins with need.” He goes on to explain that extreme prayer accesses the “whatever you ask” promises of God. In addition, Pruett reminds his readers that “God answers prayer in Jesus’ name . . . God answers prayers of faith and faithfulness . . . God answers persistent prayer . . . God answers unified group prayer . . . God answers specific prayers that build faith . . . God answers faith-filled complaints . . . and extreme prayer maximizes Jesus prayer promises.”

All that teaching Pruett supports by Scripture and by spiritual lessons the author learned while serving as a Bible translator in West Africa for a dozen years and his subsequent tenure as president of the Dallas-based Pioneer Bible Translators.

“Extreme Prayer” could be dangerous to your spiritual health! It’s a quick read. It’s an easy read. But it’s a challenging and a convicting read for all of us who find effective prayer difficult to do, (in good times or bad), let alone extreme prayer. Pruett gets up close and personal. At the end of each chapter, there are extremely thought-provoking questions for reflection and to answer.

One creative feature this reviewer found fascinating and extremely helpful: the use of summary statements pulled from the text posted in bold font on the margins and sprinkled throughout each chapter.

Pruett closes this 2014 prayer guide with several marching orders. In Chapter 8, the author shares “some of the strategies (he’s) learned through (his) own adventures in extreme prayer:”

1. Begin by asking God to show you what He wants you to do.
2. Listen for God’s assignment.
3. Keep strategic prayer lists.
4. Get together regularly with others in your community of faith for unified, persistent group prayer.
5. Pray expectantly.

Finally, Pruett closes by saying he prays that God will use his limited words to release His unlimited power in his readers’ lives.

Greg Pruett’s easy-to-read, short chapter book, “Extreme Prayer” with a forward by Max Lucado, has transformed the way I view praying to God. With vivid, alluring descriptions of his work in Africa and his leadership at the helm of the mission organization, Pioneer Bible Translators, Pruett addresses such topics as praying in Jesus’ name, praying persistently, group prayer and coping with God’s silence. After having faith in Christ for over 40 years, I feel like I have merely scratched the surface of what prayer is all about and how to approach God with my requests. For years, I’ve been uncomfortable with the popular interpretation of praying “in Jesus’ name” and how we pray for the unbeliever; Pruett describes a perspective that makes a lot more sense to me. I’ve been challenged to pray persistently for things that only God can answer and to look beyond praying for health issues to needs of the Kingdom. I’ve been encouraged to cast a vision and partner with God to see that vision fulfilled in His time and in His way. I’m looking forward to reading the book a second time, this time, with a prayer journal and discussion questions close at hand, and purchasing copies for friends.

[Brad Washburn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Greg Pruett writes well, and I appreciate his frank style of writing about God and Christian service. But, the ideas about prayer are mostly ‘works’ based and center around the effort we put in toward praying and being faithful. It’s another book on how humans can get what they want if they do the right thing to effectively ‘twist God’s arm.’ So, I can’t recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about prayer or about relationship with God.
Greg, if you read this review, write a book about some of your experiences as a missionary. Your anecdotes are really interesting and could make an impact on people struggling with their faith or marriage dynamic.
As a related side note; Max Lucado, probably the best known guru for level-headed grace-focused thoughts on God’s love, really should have read this book before writing the forward.

[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read a few books about prayer in my life, and none have been particularly interesting to me. However, Greg Pruett's Extreme Prayer was engaging right from the start and much in the way I read a gripping novel, I had a hard time putting it down.

With incredible stories and, more importantly, a clear challenge to engage in extreme prayer in our lives and organizations, Greg paints a picture of a world in which strategic, persistent and targeted prayer changes us and the world. I will be buying more copies of this to share and use with the team I lead. I think it will be a pivotal part of our minisry's future.

[Andrew Bondurant · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am very grateful for this book. As I was reading, I was struck by how often I soften or even ignore the incredible invitation of God to tap into his infinite power. Greg Pruett offers a helpful guide to praying the "whatever you ask" prayers from the Gospels. The call to pray specific, unified, persistent prayers in Jesus name was a needed challenge for me. I recommend it for both church leaders and other followers of Jesus who desire to see God's mission accomplished. (This is the review you get when writing while feeding your 2 month old...)

[Kathleen Moy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will sheepishly add my recommendation alongside Max Lucado, who wrote in the introduction: “I cannot recommend (this book) enough.”

Pruett set out to write a testimony of God’s faithfulness in answering prayer, extreme prayer as he refers to it. I found it inspiring and practical, biblical and relevant, humble and bold. Perhaps most importantly, I finished it with my heart full of praise and wonder to God, who welcomes our prayers and longs to answer them, and encouraged and feeling further equipped to pray more “extremely.” I highly recommend it!

[Patrick Willis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very quick read. Using personal stories from the mission field as well as from his years of leading Pioneer Bible Translators, Greg Pruett invites us in to experience just how powerful prayer is as a regular practice. He explores passages from Scripture, as well as outlines what he means by 'extreme' prayer. I recommend this book as one to read if you're interested in reading up on prayer. It's certainly a quick read, it includes discussion questions, and it an excellent encouragement to invest more time in prayer.

[bLueRLyN · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would have loved to read more about the author's different experience of the time they prayed for something humanely impossible and how the enormity of the request nearly made them give up, but that God, in his perfect time, responds in prayer to blow their minds away. Kind of like the preaching of Paul Washer on how God provides.

The principles taught were very insightful and sound. I just wanted more details and examples of how they've experienced God's saving grace.

[Brian Brooks Van Dyke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book revolutionized my prayer life. Ok, God used it to revolutionize my prayer life. Greg does a wonderful job using scripture and life stories to explain the concept of extreme prayer: a type of prayer God expects his people to be praying. This is not a "name it and claim" concept. Greg is very biblical in his presention. I encourage every Christian to read this book.

[Emma Orlando · Rating 3 out of 5]

read with my community group. Felt overwhelmed reading parts and extremely underwhelmed at parts. Overall it has changed the way I’ve been praying and convicted me on how much time I spent praying. Really gave practical how tos but parts felt contradictory. I feel mid about it but I would recommend the book…. Take it as you will :)

This is a very inspiring book about prayer, beyond the typical prayer requests that end up on “the list.” It has certainly encouraged me to think differently about my prayer life and also the ministries in which I serve.

What a good book to remind you about the effectiveness of prayer!

It’s encouraging to hear stories of the amazing prayers God has answered. In times when I lack faith and the zeal to pray and I’m frustrated, this book reminds me that prayer actually works, and guides me on how I can pray.
