Fearless Prayer: Why We Don't Ask and Why We Should

by Craig J. Hazen

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
John 15:7 You've likely scratched your head over this verse, wondering how literally to take it. Could Jesus have been serious about His over-the-top declaration? Can you really ask for anything ? If you think these words can't possibly mean what they say, Craig Hazen wants to reveal the astonishing reality of this promise. You'll learn why Christians hesitate to embrace this powerful statement and how you can put it to work in your life for the sake of God's kingdom. According to the Lord himself, "asking" is the center point of prayer. He wants us to bring our fruit-bearing requests to him boldly and with expectation for the blessing of his answer. He wants to hear our Fearless Prayer !

'Fearless prayer ' is written by Craig Hazen. . The author encourages the reader to climb to deeper levels with God in prayer. He addresses the barriers that believers may have in understanding who God is and the challenges that might keep them from a deeper prayer life. He tells believers to take advantage of the command to ask anything in prayer. He feels believers do not ask and believe in prayer. He also talks about what it means to live in the vine and have our nourishment from the vine and not ourselves. We are to be dependent on the vine and not leaning on our own strength. We are to lean on God first during our daily challenges and not look to ourselves. In America we get used to looking to ourselves to solve our problems and not look to God. Dr. Hazen is a professor on apologetics at Biola and encourages believers to know God for who He is and not who we may think He is.. He challenges believer to higher levels in prayer with God . Will you allow God to bring you to higher levers! This book was give to me by ebook for review purposes by netgalley.

This book is a personal approach to understanding and embracing the power of prayer. As a Christian, this book not only inspires me, but it also challenges me to rethink how I communicate with God, how I pray, why I pray and how to express myself like His child. I loved it. I also loved the testimonies and stories shared herein.
Thanks NetGalley for the eARC, this book's a wonderful companion for Christians.

"Fearless Prayer" presents valid Biblical arguments of why and how petionary prayer should be an important part of a Christian's relationship with God. The book also covers why some Christians are reluctant to recognize the valid role of petition in prayer. This is a book that I would not hesitate in recommending to anyone that desired to deepen their prayer life.
