Author: Dr Stuart Robinson

In this book the author writes,

Wherever one looks throughout history two human activities attract God's attention. When both are present, supernatural intervention is often the result. These are prayer and obedience.

We need to add to them another vital element persistence, and then we may see spectacular results. This book, although not large packs a dynamic punch, calling us to deal with our own lives first so that God might position us for extraordinary growth and social impact.

Robinson offers encouraging stories of people, movements and nations from across the world, who devoted themselves to prayer, praying the price of obedience and seeing amazing growth of the church and astounding changes in society. Using Biblical and historical examples the author takes the reader on a whistle stop tour from Christ to the present day. He demonstrates that whenever these principles are invoked, amazing church growth occurs, opposition melts, spiritual revival breaks out having tremendous impact on society and nations.

Each chapter concludes with special focus issues for the reader to consider. He challenges us to take seriously what the book of Acts makes abundantly clear: they devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 2:42). He reminds us of what pastors and leaders have said for centuries when asked the secret of their success, We just pray and obey. Robinson discusses how we need to break out from our present mindsets concerning prayer, understanding that if God is the one who hears and answers prayer, then let us pray! This must be our most compelling privilege. We cannot afford to ignore this book's message.
