The Synopsis: (From the back of the book)
"Altars over Thrones is a cry, a call, an invitation and a spark. It's a cry for God to awaken and move in this generation. It's a holy call to throw off complacency and seek God in fervent prayer. It's an invitation to know the heart of Jesus. It's a spark to ignite revival."
My Thoughts- This is an excellent book that reminds and compels you to live a life centered around Jesus and prayer. I loved how John Hammer chose to use the various chapters to show how prayer can be activated and make a difference in every area of our lives. I also love the many examples of how prayer has changed people, relationships, places of leadership and nations throughout history. We are faced with so many trials and tribulations in this life and our prayer life is a key to seeing things change. The importance of praying is not just something we should be doing, it is a necessity that is as vital as the air we breathe. If we want things to change in our world, it happens at the the altar of God in prayer.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
"Prayer that comes from the heart in obedience and alignment with God has the power to change the course of history and bring revival."
"Mary Queen of Scots said of him, 'I fear the prayers of John Knox more than all the assembled armies of Europe.' The altar shook the throne."
"When we try to change the world through thrones primarily and neglect prayer altars, it's like we are bringing a pea shooter to a nuclear war."
