Summary: Iv'e Read The Book
Review: And it is well worth the purchase price. Reading the book gave me, number one, a renewed burst of prayer gumption. Secondly, a deeper understanding of God's love for our fellowship, communication, and humility.
Lastly, a better sense of how to take my frustrations, fears, and anxieties to God with a proper attitude. Buy it, read it.

Summary: Short But Intriguing
Review: I had resisted reading this book because although I respect Bill Gothard I had disagreed with some of his earlier writings. But this simple, short little book that expresses only a single theme---"God really likes for us to pray aloud to Him"---did end up touching me and encouraging me to be me more vocal in my prayers. "The need to cry out is a humbling reminder of my total inability to accomplish anything significant for God" "To cry out is to expressly acknowledge that the problem I'm facing is greater than the wisdom, ability, or strength I possess." Its only weakness is common to many of Gothard's writings, in that they are long on deducing doctrine from case histories and single verses and short on foundation in reformed systematic theology.

Summary: Great book on what a truly humble heart can achieve
Review: This book has helped a number of people in our church while dealing with pressing problems in their life. After crying out to God , God revealed to them his grace and knowledge to deal with their situations. I highly recommend this book to those who perceive that that face an 'impossible' situation.

Summary: SILLY AND SHALLOW
Review: This book offers a shallow simplistic and legalistic formula. It offers false hope and is bound to disappoint.

Summary: Power of Crying Out
Review: This is the most bogus book on prayer I have ever read.
The gist of the 96pp is this "Pray out loud and God will hear you and answer your prayer"
Gothard takes you on a walk through several verses showing people praying out loud and getting their results.
He never discusses their spiritual position at that time or God's intention to use them to fulfill His will. For those who desire a biblical understanding on prayer, save your pennies and purchase a more enlightening book like Charles Stanley "Handle with Prayer"

Summary: Pretty Good Book with a Pretty Good Price
Review: This wasnt a life changing, grip your heart kind of book, but it did give awesome insight to people in the bible and their experiences with crying out. I would put this book down and pick it up the next week, put it down pick it up the next week- so it wasnt that captivating either but it also wasnt a waste of money. The author of this book has all his facts for the title, but I didnt feel like crying out after reading it. I know from the experience of crying out (even before reading this book) that it does work to get Gods attention so dont give up even if you didnt like this book.

Summary: A must read.
Review: We all have been in difficult situations that tempt us to react in many different ways. This book shows us from scripture and personal experience how we are to properly respond and the unfathomable rewards in so doing.
