The Only Answer Is Prayer: An Intimate Walk with God into the Miraculous by William McDowell, Jason McMullen, and Caleb Grant Book Review

In The Only Answer is Prayer, William, Jason, and Caleb have all teamed up to write about their experiences with prayer while leading their congregation at Deeper Fellowship Church. They begin the book by exploring scriptures on prayer. One of the important ones is found in Second Chronicles 7:14 and this speaks about how if we will be humble and seek God and turn from our sinful nature. He will forgive us and heal our lands. What power and change would we see if we did this! They also looked at Elijah and how he prayed for it not to rain for three and a half years and how God answered that prayer. After three and a half years when he prayed again that it would rain, it did. They all strongly shared how we are all called to be intercessors. They also revealed how critical it is to have intimacy with Christ and to know Him, where we will know what He wants for our lives. We will find our true authority when we get closer to our Creator. The enemy doesn’t want us to become closer to Christ and often times satan will use distractions to keep us from abiding in Christ. Some of the things the enemy will attack is our relationships, flesh, mind, time, wealth, health, and the allure of fame. They also explored ten benefits of prayer and some of these included, “peace, revelation, discernment, and direction, boldness, answers, confirmation of your identity”, and much more. They revealed a powerful truth in, if we are tossing and turning at night and worried about an issue that we already prayed for, then this shows how we aren’t really trusting in God and his ability and power. We subconsciously are believing we are in fact God. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone is ready to grow in their relationship with Christ and they are wanting to boost their prayer life. This book will provide readers with the foundational principles on gaining greater intimacy with our Creator and to pray bigger prayers. I immensely enjoyed how they explored the ten hindrances to prayer and they went in great detail on how we maybe blocking our prayers from being answered. It isn’t the devil causing them to be not answered. I liked how they revealed the painful truth on how we can repent and change our ways and stop the hinderances on our prayer life. This book will teach readers to agree with Heaven and pray for it to be done, as it is in Heaven. I also liked and was blessed by the personal testimonies that they shared throughout the book. I also liked how each chapter included a special prayer at the end of each chapter to assist readers in opening their hearts in prayer.
