Intercessory Prayer: How God Can Use Your Prayers to Move Heaven and Earth by Dutch SheetsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
As a firm believer in the power of prayer, I was very excited to get this book! As I began to read, I got more excited - this was great! There were insights presented and areas explored that took the significance and meaning of prayer in a Christian's life to an amazingly deeper level. However, as I progressed through the book, I began to come across statements and ideas that bothered me, that did not ring true when held up against the Bible, and some that even seemed to border on blasphemy.
Put simply, the 'good' in this book was 'excellent'; the 'bad' in this book was 'really bad'.
I would NOT recommend this book to a new Christian, or to one who is not mature in the Christian faith; certainly not to one who is easily swayed or gullible. I would highly recommend this book to a well-grounded Christian; someone who knows the Bible, who has a discerning spirit, and who is able to 'eat the meat and spit out the bones' of an idea. As I said above, the good parts are REALLY good, and it is worth it to glean from them.
