review 1: This was a good one. I love all of Eric and Leslie's books - they're always deep and changing in some way. Wrestling Prayer shows prayer as it really is - a soldier's battle field with Jesus as Commander. Eric leads with stories of David and his right-hand men and grips you with the call to pray, challenging the "Dear Heavenly Father thank you for this day, please help us to be good and please bless us..." prayers of America. Leslie wraps up every chapter with a simple message that you can use to apply today. :) I love them.A great read on prayer for everyone. I recommend their other books too. :D
review 2: The layout of this book is like this: Eric writes the main portion of the book… He begins talking about the two mightiest generations in history, David’... mores and Jesus’. He uses this setup to show how David’s life & story is a type (a representation) of Jesus. Eric describes many parallels between the two that I have never seen before! Leslie writes “A Moment for Prayer” at the end of each chapter with a couple of pages about how to apply the principles Eric just discussed. (Applied knowledge is wisdom.)I never expected this book to change my prayer life. However, in one of the beginning “Moments for Prayer” sections, Leslie challenges the readers to keep a journal of God’s faithfulness. Record prayers AND the answers/blessings that come from those. In the 2 weeks I have been doing this, I have already experienced 5 answers to prayer! A main point they make is this: Specific praying is the key to building faith. As with many Christians, I have a tendency to pray general prayers. I don’t want to box God in to my desires. Eric & Leslie explain that the key in being able to pray specific and to see such prayers answered is to pray God’s heart. Pray for things that God would desire (the key to knowing these things is to read His Word. He spells them out clearly there.); don’t waste prayers on selfish desires.I cannot recommend this book enough. If your heart is open to what they have to say, God can use this book to radically change what prayer looks like to you. It can become so much more real. less
