What do you do when your whole spiritual life falls apart? It is in these heart-hungry moments—when we feel overwhelmed or alone, struggle with unanswered prayers, aren’t sure what to do, or are crying out for God’s help—that we are surprisingly poised to pray the most effective kinds of prayers possible. Extreme Prayer taps into that longing for connection with God when we need it most by teaching us to pray the kinds of prayers Jesus promised to answer with unlimited power. It’s not about how to pray more . . . it’s about praying differently, and intentionally tapping into all of Jesus’s open-ended promises in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom impact. In Extreme Prayer, Greg Pruett searches the Scriptures to discover the kinds of prayers that God has promised to answer, challenging you to access their power and see His immeasurable glory unleashed in your prayer life.

Before we go any further I need to warn you that there's tremendous power in this study! It's the power to change! So many of my girlfriends have been radically changed by this study, not from my words, (don't be silly!) but from God's. If you do this study properly, if you dig into God's Word and ask Him for courage to honestly look into your own heart, you, my friend, are going to transform! But, don't be afraid! Don't let Satan rob you of your hope for a better, more godly life. We're going to need every ounce of God's power if we're going to get ourselves out of the ruts we're in and become the women God dreams us to be. We'll be women driven by His love and His priorities! If you're like me, you know you should work on some things, but you're a bit comfy in the rut you've been in and don't really want to do the work it's going to take. Part of you wants to live with a single-minded passion for Christ, while the other part is content right where you are. Like, I half want to be thin and half want to eat an entire chocolate truffle cheesecake!

The major humanitarian crises of recent years are well known: the Shoah, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Rwandan genocide, the massacre in Bosnia, and the tsunami in Southeast Asia, as well as the bloody conflicts in South Sudan, Syria, and Afghanistan. Millions have been killed and many millions more have been driven from their homes; the number of refugees and internally displaced persons has reached record levels. Could these crises have been prevented? Why do they continue to happen? This book seeks to understand how humanity itself is in crisis, and what we can do about it. Hollenbach draws on the values that have shaped major humanitarian initiatives over the past century and a half, such as the commitments of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, as well as the values of diverse religious traditions, including Catholicism, to examine the scope of our responsibilities and practical solutions to these global crises. He also explores the economic and political causes of these tragedies, and uncovers key moral issues for both policy-makers and for practitioners working in humanitarian agencies and faith communities.
