SP: My mother had asked me to order this book for her. Shortly after receiving it, my father ended up in the hospital, gravely ill, and we are praying for his recovery. We have found great solace in this book and I printed out some healing prayers that we read at my father's bedside every day he is in the hospital. Everything happens for a reason -- receiving this wonderful book happened at exactly at the right time and we are so grateful for the inspiration contained within.

Charles Buchanan: This book is an exciting but slow read, as its manual-styled format breaks down prayer into essential components, warranting the highlighting of key passages for future reference, (I use yellow). I haven't read anything so absorbing since Leanne Payne's 'Listening Prayer' and highly recommend this book to all Christians.

Audrey Carroll: After reading this book through twice, I found it clear and practical in teaching about the various facets of prayer. Prayer is more than asking for what we want from God, but it's comprised of a variety of ways to approach God and seek Him to move in our lives and in the circumstances and lives of those we love. Prayer reflects our "growing up" in Christ, and maturing in our understanding that there is a way that things work with God. We need to embrace this journey of dialogue with God. He has so much to teach and give us as we cultivate a life of prayer. John Eldredge explores prayer as: the cry of the heart, an intervention for others, a place to consecrate our lives to Him, a place where we learn to listen to God, a weapon of warfare against darkness, a tool God uses to heal, a place to relinquish our will and commit to trusting God and His ways.

With the Bible being our primary prayer guide, this book is a valuable asset to teach, inspire, and encourage us to grow in our walk with Jesus Christ and our life of prayer. The DVD series and study guide is ideal for a small group study on Prayer. It offers clear demonstrations of what the various prayer models sound like...

Glenna/Don Russell: This book is amazing!!! I always knew I was missing something in my prayer life and now I have found what I was missing. This book needs to be read by every Pastor and then taught to their congregations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make a difference in their world and who wants to see God move in a mighty way!

Tim Challies: It seems that every Christian author eventually tries his hand at a book on prayer. And when our favorite author takes his turn, we, the readers, tend to pick it up. After all, prayer is difficult and few of us are confident that we are praying right and praying well. John Eldredge qualifies as a favorite author to thousands of Christians and he has now tried his hand at a book on prayer in Moving Mountains: Praying with Passion, Confidence, and Authority.

At the very beginning of the book, Eldredge names a common concern when it comes to praying: “Some prayers work, and some prayers don’t. We might be embarrassed to admit that, but you know it’s true. If you are interested in prayer at all, you are interested in prayer that works. That kind of prayer is the focus of this book.” That sounds good, right? We all want to pray in such a way that we are confident in what we pray and confident that we will see results. In this book he teaches both theology and methodology for prayer. “I’m not going to try and convince you that you ought to pray. If the struggles of those you love, the heartache of the world, or your own dreams, desires, and afflictions do not move...

Bill Pinches: When was the last time you prayed with passion, confidence, and authority? I mean, really prayed, not so much out of desperation as out of conviction that praying in the name of Jesus actually makes a difference?

Over the course of nearly 250 easy-to-read (but not shallow) pages, Eldredge describes prayer that works – prayer that moves mountains. It is, without a doubt, the most helpful, practical, and downright useful book on prayer I’ve ever read. Eldredge begins with a simple premise, one that all of us who have been Christians for any length of time know too well: some prayers work, and some prayers don’t. What is it that makes the difference? Eldredge writes: “The problem is, sometimes God comes through, often he doesn’t, and we have no idea for the rhyme or reason why. We lose heart, and abandon prayer.” Isn’t that true? Haven’t you been there?

Eldredge suggests that many of us are operating from a naïve understanding of prayer that goes something like this: “God is loving and powerful. We need his help. So we ask for help, as best we know how. The rest is up to him. After all – he’s God. He can do anything.” Eldredge suggests this...
