Dutch Sheets gives many examples of how he and people he knows took hold of what they read in the Bible and prayed with "authority". He talks about examples of how we can "take charge" of our personal world and change the world around us.
Dutch gave several stories of his life and how he used those lessons in his life to change his prayer life.
I struggled in reading this book. It became clear to me that after the first few chapters, Dutch does NOT have the same fundamental believes that I have. There were many times I found myself scowling at the book and what I was reading. There really wasn't much of this book that I found I could apply to my life and my beliefs.
Towards the end of the book he stated "No one has more authority in your life then you do." I'm sorry I don't agree with that at all. GOD has the ultimate authority in my life. If I was married, my husband would have authority over me and I would be submissive to him. Yes, we need to pray for ourselves, but the way he states it , we should pray for our selves first. However, we should pray for ourselves LAST. It's Jesus Others You. That is what we should do and that is what I teach the children I work with.
I would have to say I do NOT recommend this book and almost wish I hadn't selected it as one of my free books I get to read and review.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers for the sole purpose of this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expresses herein are my own.
