Sun Stand Still by Furtick

I finished reading Sun Stand Still today by Steven Furtick. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a book to challenge your prayer life, this is it! Furtick does a great job of keeping the Bible as a foundation while at the same time challenging believers to pray big. I have enjoyed watching Furtick's messages online as well. He has some helpful chapters on what if your prayers go unanswered and the difference between hope & faith. Here are a few quotes from the last few chapters of the book:

"That is why the Word of God is so crucial to audacious faith." pg. 157

"Audacious prayer must be tethered to practical obedience." pg. 173

"You do the natural. Trust God for the super." pg. 177

"Praying Sun Stand Still prayers isn't about thinking audacious thoughts. It's about activating audacious faith. It's about making your move. Pushing while you pray." pg. 180

"Hope is the blueprint. Faith is the contractor." pg. 181

"Between the promise and the payoff there's always a process." pg. 184

"Too many people forget the promise and forfeit the payoff because they faint in the process." pg. 195

I encourage you to pick up the book & read it!
