This is one of the most unique and inspiring books ever written on prayer. In it Joseph Mattera uses the Bible, memoirs from powerful revivalists, and personal experience to shed light upon the most effective (but least understood) form of intercession. This book dispels the idea that mere perfunctory prayer is enough to birth revival. The writer also shows the lifestyle change and personal sacrifice needed if Christians are truly going to bring global societal transformation. There has never been another book like this in recent memory! This book is a must for all believers who yearn to see God answer their prayers and move powerfully in their midst!
a catalyst for the lifestyle of travail that God is and( has been ) leading the church into .
before I read the book the spirit of God spoke to me about the contents describing a lifestyle that He wanted me to embark on, the beginnings of the travail started upon my first opening of the book, so apparently the bishops prayer of impartation was realized, my heart is heavy for those without Christ.
