Book Review: Fresh Wind Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala

I highly recommend  this book for anyone! It is basically about the power of prayer. Jim talks about starting the Brooklyn Tabernacle and how he and his church have consistently relied upon one simple principle: Pray to God, and seek His Face.

By praying to God, we are humbling ourselves to ask, "What is your will? How would you like for me to make my choices?" We are also opening our hearts to be available for relationship with our Lord. It's a two way street, the best way to know someone is to communicate and prayer is no different.

Just hearing Jim Cymbala's stories about his experience with prayer really inspired me to make my personal prayer life a bigger deal. I think sometimes, as a christian, it can be tempting to think, "I love talking to God, but does he really hear? Is anything happening? Does he care?" This book really reminded me of the truth and His promise that He does care, it is real, things are happening, and God remains faithful (even when we are faithless because He cannot and will not deny Himself).

I loved this book because hearing the stories strengthened my faith and lifted my spirit. I hope that if you read it, you will enjoy it as much as I did!
