Prayer Is Invading The Impossible

by Jack W. Hayford

Through prayer we learn that nothing is impossible with God––he is able to do beyond all that we can ask or think. Jack Hayford writes, "Prayer can change anything. The impossible doesn't exist. His is the power. Ours is the prayer. Without Him we cannot. Without us He will not." Here is a practical "how–to" book that will encourage you to pray!

Un buen libro sobre la oración.

Disfrute la lectura, ya que además de ser corta, el autor explica bastante claro sus argumentos.

Este libro cuenta con una buena base bíblica.

Muy recomendado este libro.

This was recommended on a site. I think it was praying-the-scriptures.com.

Anyway, I found that although I knew most of what he was talking about (it was written back in 70's), I still had some things to learn.

I recommend this highly as a great refresher on the power of prayer.

If your prayer life seems a bit stale, pick up the book and be refreshed.

Very good: insightful, encouraging. It's definitely a worthwhile read. I recommend reading the last chapter first, then read the book through and finish with the last chapter again (chapters are only five or six pages long). Chapters 16 through 18 I had to read twice, probably because I was distracted by other things going on in the room; but worth the second look.

I guess it will depend on where you are on the walk with God, but I found the book just got better as it went along. From ch.12 and all of Part 3. are worth however much you spend to get it.
There is a great handling of the 'glossolalia' gift. Jack calls it 'spiritual language'.

Rich and deep for a small paperback. Have to reread a few times to fully appreciate and apply.

Un libro que nos habla como con Dios podemos hacer todo, y el poder de la oración, me gusto mucho.

Incoherent stream of consciousness. Not edifying.

[Kelly · Rating 1 out of 5]

While I've heard great things about this book and the author, his ability to write has me cringing. His grammar and structure were so terrible that I felt like I was forcing myself to read it, and that isn't a promising beginning to any book. This book is apparently on its 4th revision, but I don't believe it's ever been shown to a professional editor. I made it to the second chapter and finally threw it (and I don't throw books unless they're truly bad). This book needs to be edited before I'll pick it up again! :(

Just finished my third time reading this book. A work of scholarship and in-depth understanding of the word of God, it is not for the casual reader. If you truly want to understand the supernatural mechanisms of prayer, this is a must read to be studied and absorbed. An outstanding effort by a true theologian.

Read agin in 2024 - 4th time.

[Mark Gibson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful explanation of the definition of prayer, the reasonable expectation of the praying and what God desires from those who pray! Every Christian should avail themselves of Brother Hayford's imparted wisdom.

Great book on prayer and especially warfare!

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Deep reflections on prayer.

[Joseph · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good starter for people new to prayer. A good refresher and motivation otherwise.

Encouraging.
