"Women Who Move Mountains" by Sue Detweiler

 


This is not simply a book on prayer. It's a book designed to completely change the way you approach God and live as His child. Full of Scriptural truths about who we are and who God is, this is meant to be a transformative help in praying with confidence, boldness, and grace, as the subtitle says.

This book is written to be a lengthy personal or group Bible study, with Scripture readings and question prompts to get you thinking and processing God's Word and what He is saying to you through it. It also includes a 21-day devotional and journaling guide and a short segment on fasting. The depth of content makes this one of the best resources on prayer that I have seen.

I confess that when I read Wendy Griffith's introduction at the beginning that I was thinking this book might not be for me. While indeed the author and I may hold some different theological views, don't be scared off by the introduction. This book is very practical and deals with the ways we desperately need God's work and healing in our lives and how we can press in to Him.

There is so much in this book that I found myself blessed by nearly every chapter. I felt God meeting me in many different areas as I read. If I had to pick a favorite chapter, it might be the one on replacing perfectionism with abiding in God's presence. That's some good stuff! I would recommend this book to all women looking to go deeper in their relationship with the Lord.

I received my copy of the book from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.
