Summary: Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire
Review: This novel is a thought provoking book that makes one realize how far from the basics we have gotten. It makes one realize how our programs, newfangled ideas, and our contemporary worship have gotten in the way of how God would have us do His work in His kingdom. This book does not redefine prayer and God's love for us, however, it does emphasize the simplicity and importance of crying out to the Lord our God in prayer. It points out the blessings that we are missing out on because we do not call on God through prayer. It points out how God is able to work through us if we are in communion with Him in prayer. This book points out nothing new, everything is in the Bible. So many times we are trying to reinvent the wheel when the old one works as well as it did in the day of its inception. This book is truly inspirational by seeing what the power of God through prayer did for a dying church, and by seeing that God is a faithful God, and He will truly build His own church if we only follow His instructions and cry out to Him in PRAYER.

Summary: God is doing a work in our church!
Review: I'm reading the book right now (a friend and I will be sharing it). Very convicting so far! Many in our congregation are now buying and reading the book after watching a related video. Let me tell you the story.Our congregation is going through a lot of growth, physically and spiritually right now. My pastor started prayer meetings on Saturday nights, and more and more peoplem are joining the group. Then he went to a Pastor's conference and his wife to a Pastors' Wives conference. My pastor's wife came home with a video "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" and told him he needed to watch it. In the meantime, someone shipped him several copies of the video: one for him, as well as a copy for every deacon, elder, and assistant pastor in our church. They watched it at home. One elder had his home Bible study group watch it as well. The leadership unanimously decided that the church body really needed to see the video, so we watched it as a church last night. Pastor Mark wants us to get on our knees as a fellowship. We've had the book "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" in our bookstore for awhile, but that book won't last for long once it gets around the fellowship. God brings just the right thing into our lives at the right time! I can't wait to see God really do a work through us!

Review: A powerful book on the real power of prayer. When I was given this title by a friend to read, I told him I'd put on my reading list of which there are >40 other books. He said "Put it at the top, I'm reading it for the 7th time"! If you want to know how Christ would have done things in the 20th century, read this book. Cymbala, relies on prayer to bring a multiracial church of just over 20 members to a church of over 6,000. He is not a seminary trained pastor with a slick message. His church does outreach as Christ did, they go where the people most in need live and work. He has great sadness for those pastors rate their value in "attendance, building and cash, the new holy trinity." This book is a great testimony as to how God wants us to be, loving, forgiving and merciful, with the people in most need of God. A tremendous book.

Review: Jim Cymbala is a pastor with such passion, determination, and most importantly FAITH--I wish we could clone him--to put one of him in every neighborhood! If you are just beginning to investigate Christianity or if you are an "older christian" this book is such an asset! We all get discouraged from time to time, and I can't recommend a better pick-me-up than this book to show all the power that prayer has--if you'll only take the time!

Summary: A MUST Read!
Review: WOW ! This book blows me away. Partly because I've been in a struggling church and now I'm in a REVIVAL church where I'm experiencing things described in his book.It is so right on for what God is doing with his people.I'm blessed and drawn in deeper with my walk with God. A must read for every pastor who wants the River to flow through their church and peoples. Thank-you brother Cymbala.

Summary: Behold, the power of prayer...
Review: Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire should be required reading for everyone in ministry. Within the framework of telling the story of his own ministry, Jim Cymbala illustrates the awesome power that can only be tapped when we communicate with God through prayer. This book has a lesson for all who will read it. This book will also inspire you with testimonies of what God can do in the lives of everyday people when His people pray. I heartily recommend purchasing this book.

Summary: Life changing book!
Review: Jim Cymbala's "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" is an example of how truly powerful prayer is. In a world of bigger, faster, louder, Jim offers insight into what he believes (and what I have come to believe) is God's plan for worship. I am a reader. I don't watch much television, and I tend to go through books quickly. I went through this book at warp speed! I finished it in less than a day! I have read it two or three times since. "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" is exceptionally easy to read, inspirational without being "flowery," and instructional. If you feel that you do not know how to communicate with the Lord, or maybe that your prayer-life needs a boost, I recommend this book. Thanks Jim for listening to the Spirit and writing this book.

Summary: Excellent for all Christians
Review: I love this book. I've had it for two months and forgot to read it. It drove me to stop reading it and get on my knees and pray. I will be giving it to my pastor on Sunday. God used Jim Cymbala to wake us up to the most powderful weapon that a Christian has.... PRAYER.
