Even though this is an older book, I decided to pick it up because the church I am currently serving at is starting to look at launching a multi-faceted prayer ministry. Maxwell gives some really great tips for designing and implementing a prayer ministry... though it does seem catered towards a larger church setting. All in all, I appreciated the various insights on creating a prayer ministry... and Bill Bright's chapter on fasting was interesting to read as well.

The book broke down how to prepare for prayer and fasting, how to conduct a meaningful prayer and fast and the importance it provides for the reader and the church. I will recommend!

This book did two things for me. 1) It introduced me to John Maxwell. I became an avid reader of his materials after I read this book. 2) The book helped me understand how important prayer is in terms I could understand.

A great introduction to John Maxwell and prayer.

This book is life changing. I followed the instructions as written and.. mind blown.What a humbling experience to be able to connect with the Creator of the universe in such an intimate way through personal prayer. John gives simple practical steps to make this connection and it indeed changed my life. I need to read it again. I wish it was on Kindle.

Great book! Guides, provides practical advice, and overall helps you understand the importance of your standing as a believer in a church; amongst brothers and sisters.

I recommend this as a bible study amongst believers or for anyone who just doesn’t understand what their purpose is within the church.

[Meredith Ryburn · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a decent book for someone looking to build a prayer ministry in their church. It wasn’t what I thought it was. Maxwell is brilliant at leadership content and I will stick to his work in that sphere.

Prayer by numbers. Some helpful advice but very dry.

Great book gets hard to keep up with at the very end of the book.

[Douglas · Rating 4 out of 5]

The text is a very down-to-earth approach to prayer relationships and support for one another.

[Steven Bullmer · Rating 4 out of 5]

John Maxwell hits the nail on the head once again. Partners in Prayer explains why pastors and church leaders need people partnering with them in prayer and how to go about setting up a prayer partner ministry. Good stuff! Wish I had done this in my previous churches! I believe I would have been a better pastor/preacher/teacher/leader, and the Holy Spirit would have been able to do more than it did during my time there. It's an older book, so you have to ignore or "translate" the inclusive language. I will be incorporating this into my coaching efforts with churches in the future.

Just re-read. Looking at it from the other side now, as a church member in a position to support my pastor. Also looking to deepen my intercessory prayer life. Thank you, John Maxwell, for your insights!

[Steve Campbell · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book, Maxwell gives basic, helpful information about prayer. He discusses the potential of prayer, how to pray, what to pray, and finally zeroes in on how to pray specifically for your church and pastor. This is a relatively short book, so it doesn't go into as much detail as some might wish, but it is especially helpful if you are looking to start a prayer ministry to help strengthen your pastor and church.

[Marlou · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book encourages us to be prayerful and be accountable to a lot of kinds of people and the euphoria of result upon having a prayer partner who will pray with you. You really have to read this book.

[Keith · Rating 4 out of 5]

John Maxwell teaches some of the best principles in Leadership that I have heard. This book on prayer is also very good and I recommend it. He lays out some excellent plans to enrich your prayer life and relationship with God and His church.

kesimpulan akhir yang masih tetap melekat sewaktu membaca buku inilah :

"mitra terbaik dalam doa adalah hanya pasangan kita"

walaupun tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk memiliki mitra lainnya.


** ini hanya sekelumit dari sebagian besar yang bisa didapatkan dari buku ini

[Meagan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book many years ago and felt the pull to read it again, this time with my husband. Such an eye-opening book on the power of prayer, especially in lifting up pastors and growing churches. The statistics listed in the book in regards to what pastors struggle with are jaw-dropping.

[Brandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many good tips on how to pray boldly and effectively. The book is written in a clear manner and is easy to understand. Very motivating and informative. You will be encouraged to evaluate your prayer life and what you can do to make it stronger. Highly recommend this book to everyone!
