This book is an encouragement toward as the author shares her own experiences. I personally prefer a more information based approach to theological ideas but her personal experience makes for a good entry way to learning about intercessory prayer and praying the scriptures. It is a relatable read if you are interested in learning more about prayer.

This book is the perfect prayer guide, especially when praying for others. I did not expect it to be so thorough. I absolutely loved the information as it was so detailed and easy to follow. This a book you can use for years as the information would not change.

I like it and I don’t? Some parts have some great, practical, prayer advice and then some sound a little too off the charts strange. “Just pray and it will always happen look at all these miracles my friends and I prayed for and they happened!” It made me feel a little helpless somehow? What about the people with cancer who have thousands pray and still die? I’m not sure. I wanted to love this book and it did have some stuff that was good but i went away feeling a little defeated.

“When You Need to Move a Mountain” by Linda Evans Shepherd holds the keys to praying with power. It explains the secrets of intercessory prayer, detailing prayer giftings to use prayer as a secret weapon to break down strongholds and achieve victorious breakthroughs for ourselves and others.

I received a preview copy of this book in exchange for my review.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Not only does Shepherd name different types of prayer for different situations, but she provides excellent explanations and instances of when each type of prayer has been used. Additionally, she gives prayer formats as examples which the reader can begin using immediately.
This book helped prompt me to pray for people and situations as I read it.

Shepherd has written a very good book on prayer. There is information in it I have not seen any where else. She writes from her own experience, having seen God answer prayers miraculously yet also having experienced the pain of God not doing that for which she had prayed.

I had no idea there were so many kinds of intercessors. Shepherd has spoken to many called to pray and assessed their different focus. I had no idea there were so many prayer styles. Some might pray from a specific list while others wait to hear the Holy Spirit stir them to prayer. And there are so many reasons to pray and places at which to pray.

Shepherd uses a combination of stories from the Bible, those from her own life and those of others to illustrate her teaching. She has many encouraging stories of answers to prayer. She also has sensitive teaching coming from her own experience when God did not provide the answer she was praying for.

I like the sample prayers she includes. They provide a good example of how particular prayers are made, whether claiming promises, dealing with past hurts, interceding for others, or a number of other types of prayers.

This is a very good book on prayer rising from the author's own experience and the experiences of others. I have read many books on prayer yet found new and important material in this one. I highly recommend it to readers who are looking for teaching and encouragement in prayer.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

This is a great resource for those wanting to improve their intercessory prayer skills. Learn how to intercede for yourself as well as friends and loved ones. This is a book that will inspire you and will really improve your prayer life.
