Cindy NavarroCullman, ALAge: Over 65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent message on faith and prayer.January 27, 2011Cindy NavarroCullman, ALAge: Over 65Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Founder and lead pastor of Elevation Church (Charlotte, NC), Steven Furtick, is a young man with a passionate message to share. "Sun Stand Still", subtitled What Happens When You Dare To Ask God For The Impossible is based on Joshua 10:12-13 "On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel:
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and moon, over the valley of Aijalon."
And the sun stood still and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on its enemies.
Isn't this written in the Book of Jashar?
So the sun stopped
in the middle of the sky
and delayed its setting
almost a full day."
I admit to being just a tad skeptical when I selected the book. If this was going to be another formulaic, 'name it and claim it', 12 easy steps to prosperity-type book, I wanted no part of it. While I am very familiar with the power of prayer, I also know that Christians are definitely not promised that life will be easy. So, I was glad to see that this is a well thought out reminder that we serve the same God as Joshua, Elijah, Moses, and the other people of faith we read about in our Bibles. These are not merely stories, but actual accounts of people who God used to demonstrate His glory and power.
Steven gives several examples of the power of "audacious faith" from both Biblical events and personal eyewitness. He also clearly admits that some prayers have a delayed answer and that sometimes the answer is "No". Many books make me feel inadequate because they are often about people who are successful...at least by worldly standards. I read this feeling that my prayers are no more nor less valid than any other who is willing to ask God for the seemingly impossible. We all have areas in our lives that only God can handle. This book encourages you to boldly ask for the impossible (& not selfishly), and to put your faith in action. Don't just sit idly by while you wait on God to act. I was also glad to have him stress that we should examine our motives and our sins. Instead of being just another young, 'rock-star' preacher spouting off the latest craze in feel-goodism, I found this to be a book that I can use to grow spiritually. I certainly do recommend it to others.
I received this book for free from Waterbrook/Multnomah. I was not required to give a positive review. -
Josh Blackson5 Stars Out Of 5September 22, 2010Josh BlacksonIf you are in the secular world and have a hard time connecting the profits with a purpose then this is a book that will help position you for the unique work that God wants to accomplish in you and through you. Furtick challenges you not to disqualify yourself because God has you exactly where He wants you even if you got there by disobedience.

Amy5 Stars Out Of 5This book will jumpstart your faith!January 23, 2011AmyQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Several thousand years ago, God held the sun still for a full 24 hours in answer to Joshua's audacious prayer and His own promise. Pastor Stephen Furtick of Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina believes He'll do the the same for us today - we need only ask Him.
Based on stories of miracles throughout the Bible and those who believed that God would make them happen, Furtick's book details how to activate your own audacious faith soundly. He explains how to pray using God's own Word and how to fully realize God's plan for your life.
Furtick is young and it shows in his writing. His style is easy to read and grabs your attention with his blunt word choice, but his passion for God clearly shows how strongly He believes in his God. The book is full of stories that he personally vouches for about how strongly active God is today, and despite his age, Furtick has a wealth of experience and has well researched his topic.
This book will definitely captivate you and want you to dive deeper into your relationship with God. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an unbiased review.
