Book Synopsis

Pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Jim Cymbala unpacks the principles of faith-filled, mountain-moving prayer that can transform circumstances, change lives, and draw you closer to God than you've ever imagined.

Embark on a pilgrimage of prayer with this manual for powerful prayers that--through stories and teachings--will help you discover how to:

• Ask God for the blessings he already wants to give us.
• Wield God-given prayer tools such as promises, words, timing, and joy.

"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

From the Back Cover

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)
