It is actually rare that I re-read a book that is not a Bible commentary, but this one is an exception. It is the story of a small church pastor who learns to depend on the Holy Spirit through prayer. These are lessons I am still trying to learn. The gut-level honest stories of struggle and triumph inspire me and give me hope. I have great appreciation for Jim Cymbala and all that God has done at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. It makes the cut of 20 “must pack” books.
Like the Apostle Paul, I want more than anything to know Christ (Phil. 3:10). I do not want to simply know about Him. I want to know Him-- personally, intimately, and experientially. It is not enough for me to hear about Him. I want to see Him with my own eyes.

Had that book at one time. Always was impressed with emphasis on prayer. After reading started prayer room at First Baptist with God’s help. Your Mom took over and did for years. Now you are headed back there! God is always on the move!
