**NEW BOOK! "The Weapon of Prayer" available NOW**
Dr. David Ireland is founder and senior pastor of Christ Church in Montclair & Rockaway, New Jersey, a 8,000-member congregation of 40 nationalities. Known as the teacher we understand, Ireland is diversity consultant to the National Basketball Association and leads chapel services for the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams, and at the U.S. Pentagon. He is a frequent speaker at seminaries, churches across various denominational lines, and at international leadership conferences.
This is my third time reading this book from my former Pastor in NJ and I tell you, it's powerful. We chose this as our summer read for our small group and having to really dissect this book for study questions has really opened my eyes about the importance and necessary need of prayer.
This is a pretty good book on prayer. It is not a name-it-and-claim-it style book, but rather finding out what God is doing and then going that way. We must first engage our feelings. We must have passion. Perhaps the devil has taken something or threatened to do so. Then we must engage our faith. Ireland has a good section on defensive and offensive weapons, and some of the offensive ones may surprise you, like tithing. Then we engage in the fight. He writes about corporate prayer and prayer of agreement. The only place the book fell short, I think, is discussing the relationship between God's sovereignty and prayer. His agenda for prayer was very good (all the "p" words). This is a book worthy of reading. See my full review at http://bit.ly/16LFBCX.
Un recomendado libro que brinda estrategias poderosas referentes a la oración para que ganemos la lucha espiritual en la que estamos inmersos. A través de una lectura muy dinámica y eficaz, vas entendiendo qué es un guerrero de rodillas y cómo lograr serlo. Hay muchos beneficios en emprender esta tarea, y seguro que tendrás muchísimas más ganas de hacerlo después de leer este libro. Hay asuntos importantes en los que vale la pena invertir, y este es definitivamente uno de ellos.
"God would not create a hunger within us for something he never plans to feed"...This line embodies the theme of Dr.Irelands book! This book perfectly outlines the approaches and tactics needed to develop a deeply rooted relationship with god. I had soo many aha moments learning about how to ask, seek, knock and receive! I am soo glad that I am taking part of Christ Church's 40 day challenge.
If you want to wear the armor of prayer for all of life's battles; then you should read this book. And I'm not just saying this because he's my pastor; I'm saying it because his word is passionate, honest and heartfelt. When I leave New Jersey, I'll truly miss Dr. Ireland; he was chosen to lead us into battle.
