"Effective praying depends not just on "what to do," but also on "what never to do" if we want answers from God. By his grace, I pray that this book will instruct, inspire, and assist many in breaking through to a new life of asking and receiving from God." --Jim Cymbala
Back Jacket
From the Book Meet three who discovered the power of 'breakthrough prayer.' 'My husband and I had a dream of helping desperate young women. But no banker in his right mind would finance such a venture. So we prayed and God broke through every single obstacle we faced. That was just the beginning of the wonderful roller-coaster ride we call 'faith.' ---Grace (chapter 7) 'Voices inside my head were constantly screaming at me. I became like an animal in the street, muttering or yelling out a stream of profanity as people passed by. One day I screamed out, Jesus, help me! O God, you're my only hope! That was the breakthrough prayer that saved my life.' ---Danny (chapter 2) 'Talk about breakthrough prayer! I was buried under 110 stories of steel and concrete after the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers when God heard my cry for help.' ---Genelle (chapter 3)
