Rev. Sue Nilson Kibbey introduced me to the potential and power of breakthrough prayer many years ago.  I had always believed that God’s resurrection power could break through any obstacle, resistance or stagnation.  But when I moved from belief to practice, my leadership and ministry were transformed.  Are you hungering for such Holy Spirit  breakthrough power in your life?  If so, Dynamite Prayer: A 28 Day Experiment is a devotional resource that will introduce you to or enhance your current practice of praying for Holy Spirit breakthroughs.  Be alert for God’s miraculous dunamis (dynamite) power and possibilities to be released in your personal spiritual journey!

The journey through life can provide many individuals with valley lows and mountain top experiences, but embracing Dynamite Prayer in one's life offers a unique perspective in handling those events in a refreshing supportive manner. The 28 Day experiment allows one to emerge on a transformative pathway of hope and healing of the souls! The new possibilities given by our Lord Jesus Christ provide a refreshing and Rejuvenation to our core as Christians. I was captivated by the new concept of prayer-holds; my favorite Scripture is Philippians 4:13... My word is [Strengthen].

The disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray.” They realized something was dynamic and powerful about the way Jesus prayed. Prayer invites us into deep communion with the Triune God. Listening and conversing with God is the primary way we deepen our relationship. Prayer empowers us to move inward, to the Jesus we find in the secret place of our souls, but it also empowers us to move outward in loving mission to the world. Roz and Sue are mature guides who show us the way to navigate the expansive and unending landscape of prayer. Handle this book with care, it could be explosive for your prayer life!

The cry of every serious apprentice of Jesus has been and continues to be, “Lord, teach us to pray…” Two earthy seasoned followers of Jesus in Roz and Sue want to help contemporary disciples in this prayer journey. “Dynamite Prayer” is very practical and methodical. It is rooted deeply in scripture and will help you learn to attune your ear the Savior’s voice and see the power of God released in your life. One thing I have never heard an apprentice of Jesus say is, “I’ve got prayer all figured out!” Nope! Never heard it. The cry of every serious Christ follower has echoed the angst of Jesus’ first followers. “Lord, teach us to pray…” Roz and Sue want to help us on this emerging experience with Dynamite Prayer so that God’s power can be released in and through our lives. 

Sometimes it can be hard to know how to pray. Other times we feel stuck in our prayer life. In Dynamite Prayer, Sue and Rosario give us an accessible, practical, and powerful model for prayer.  The 28 Day guide walks you through a repeatable pattern that will bring breakthrough in your life and a sustainable blueprint for praying in the days to come. You need this book!

“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty” (Zech 4:6). How many times have we tried to do God’s work in our own resources and strength only to experience frustration and failure? In my 50 years following Jesus in ministry I have experienced the miraculous when we allow the practice of prayer to precede action. Dynamite Prayer: A 28-Day Experiment, is an excellent resource to use with groups or individually, especially if you struggle in your prayer practice.

Throughout my journey with Christ, I’ve had my fair share of prayer slumps, seasons when my spiritual battery was low. Sue Nilson Kibbey and Roz Picardo’s book is like a good pair of jumper cables that will jolt your prayer life back into motion, connecting you straight to the resurrection power of God’s Spirit. It’s a great resource for individuals seeking renewal and for groups preparing for God’s next new thing.

There is a liturgical response which goes "more prayer, more power; less prayer, less power."  This marvelous guide to breakthrough prayer lives up to its name -- dynamic prayer.   The pages of dynamic prayer lead us into a closer experience of the Holy Spirit.  The authors offer wise practical guidance in helping to deepen the prayer life of individuals and congregations.  I will be using this guide myself and enthusiastically recommend it to others!

Living in a world filled with so much pluralism, division, uncertainty and unconcern about how we should live as the people of God, we need a resource that direct us to the journey which results in ongoing daily spiritual break through. The Dynamite Prayer 28 day devotional journal does just that. It leads us into understanding the role and power of the Holy Spirit and then gives us examples of how to tap into His power. I recommend this resource to anyone who is searching for ways to strengthen your walk with Christ and enter into the realm of tapping into His unleashed power!
