The book on intercessory prayer for people who don't books on intercessory prayer
By Dan Bouchelle
I don’t always like books on prayer. Call me unspiritual or overly analytical and you will probably be right. But I struggle with over-the-top, pray-your-way-to-blessings-beyond-your-wildest-imagination books. The books on prayer I do like are usually focused on prayer’s role in a broader life of spiritual discipline where prayer is seen as opening ourselves up to God’s transforming power on us rather than getting things from God. That does seem more spiritual on the surface doesn’t it? I just prefer works about contemplative prayer to intercessory prayer.
Most of the books I’ve seen on intercessory prayer are too triumphalist for me. They seem to turn prayer into a formula and God into a vending machine. They reduce prayer to shopping instead of encountering the Almighty. They deny life’s ineffable mysteries and too easily explain away God’s “Nos.” In doing so, they set people up for faith crises. For winter Christians like me who have agonized alongside people burying their children or routinely wrestled God over the intractable agonies of a persistently painful world, they are too chipper and insulting. Its like drinking syrup.
But while I’m being honest, I should also admit that I may react against such books in part because I’ve been afraid to ask too much from prayer requests. Expecting things from God is scary. It puts your faith to the test and, as they say in AA, “Expectations are just a form of premeditated resentment.” Can I pray boldly and still believe? Do I really want to put my frequently fragile faith under that kind of pressure? Easier to think about how prayer changes me or helps me accept what is wrong with the world than ask God to change reality and expect he will.
For a long time, I have seen the need for a simple and practical book on asking God for stuff that both tells the truth about faith in a broken world while inspiring disciples to seek God’s face with boldness and humility. I just wasn’t the one to write that book because my practice did not provide the platform for it. I think I’ve found that book now.
My friend Greg Pruett has written a deceptively profound book in Extreme Prayer. I’m not sure I would like the book as much as I do if I didn’t know Greg. The miracle stories would be too easy to dismiss. I could question his motivation and veracity if I didn’t know him. Much of what is great about this book is precisely what is great about Greg. He is a genuinely humble and gracious person who is beloved by the people who work in the impressive ministry he leads: Pioneer Bible Translators. He is not prone to exaggeration or self-aggrandizement. Quite the opposite. He is quiet, self-effacing without being insecure, and genuine. He does not dominate a room but still walks with a clear confidence of who he is in Christ. Because I know Greg, I believe what he tells me in his book. I believe every story, even the dramatic healing stories and tales of rapid ministry expansion. I also believe that following Greg’s example will help me be more faithful as a disciple and fruitful as a ministry leader.
That said, it is a well-written book on its own. It is both practical and well thought out. It is amply documented in scripture’s spirit not just letter. Greg allows his full humanity to be exposed and lets us see that the real treasure in the jar of clay is God himself. He does not lecture but testifies to what God has done in his life and shows how this is what should be expected given what the scriptures say. He shows us how prayer is not a garnish on the plate of strategic planning but is the entrée. “Prayer is the strategy,” he tells us repeatedly. That scares me, but it also excites me because I know can’t plan well enough to cover all the variables.
Greg leaves room for mystery and does not try to explain or defend a God who is big enough to defend himself. He allows us to get angry and lament while also praying boldly and expectantly. Greg reminds us to pray with risky specificity and to bring pen and paper into our prayer times so we can take notes on what God instructs us to do. He doesn’t try to take God off the hook and won’t let us off the hook. But he is never condemning of those, like me, who are afraid to pray for such specific things.
This book will stretch you and call you to risk for the sake of God’s kingdom. There is not one moment that comes across as an endorsement of American selfishness or greed. This is not a recipe for being a superstar leader, just an effective one. This book is about advancing God’s mission and positioning yourself to be God’s instrument.
I appreciate the finesse it takes to write something this approachable and practical in just a little over 100 pages without being simplistic or reductionist. Greg has done us a favor. I’ve begun to pray differently and I’ve already seen results.
Get a copy. Give one to your church leaders. Give one to your kids. You won’t regret it.

Readers will find themselves doing some serious introspecting of their own as Pruett moves from one chapter to the next
By FaithfulReader.com
Greg Pruett is president of Pioneer Bible Translations and formerly ministered for 12 years as a Bible translator in West Africa. His latest book, EXTREME PRAYER, is a formulaic study of “extreme prayer,” which he believes has resulted in his organization’s amazing growth. Since he and his team adopted this model, Pioneer has doubled in size and now translates for 26 million people in 14 countries, covering 60 languages. Amazing is right.
Pruett shares his extreme prayer principle by initially telling his own story of extreme desperation some years ago when he was marching blindly through the jungle to escape from his dying ministry and marriage. It’s over, Pruett told himself as he trudged along aimlessly. He was angry with God for leading him to this small African village where he and his wife were to translate the Bible into the village’s language, only to feel like he had failed. And why? Pruett angrily interrogated God, “How could you let our mission die from such a basic thing as failure to live at peace with my wife?” He realized as he stomped along that it was no wonder he and his wife, Rebecca, were at the end of their marital rope. They had a screaming baby robbing them of sleep, and during the day carpenters pounded relentlessly on their ceiling. There was literally nowhere to go for peace.
With night coming on, Pruett finally went home. There, he and his wife made a last-ditch effort to salvage their marriage by committing to a week away at a prayer retreat to cry out to God. Ironically, the baby came down with the mumps, and Rebecca became sick with some tropical illness. Pruett notes that they did manage to pray, though…on the way home.
For the next 12 years, they raised three kids in that village and saw their marriage blossom and their ministry take hold. All the while, God was teaching Pruett how to pray the extreme prayer --- the prayer that only the humble and broken can understand. Throughout this succinct book on praying, Pruett covers all kinds of situations and scenarios where extreme prayer is required, not optional. He teaches Christians the hows and how-not-tos of praying in the extreme so that God will answer.
Readers will learn about blank check prayers (accessing those whatever-you-ask promises); name power (God answers prayers in Jesus’ name); blind trust (prayers of faith and faithfulness); shameless (persistent prayer); the symphony (unified group prayer); from bobsled to rocket (specific prayers that build faith); forsaken (faith-filled complaints); and marching orders (maximizing Jesus’ prayer promise).
Each chapter opens with a story from Pruett that is sure to emotionally engage with the reader. He then spends ample time discussing the specific extreme prayer strategy before topping off with some excellent discussion questions (for solo or group study). EXTREME PRAYER packs a real punch in this nifty and easy-to-carry-along text. Readers will find themselves doing some serious introspecting of their own as Pruett moves from one chapter to the next. This book is for everybody who desires to see their prayers answered in audacious, life-changing ways.

Praying According to Biblical Principles and Experiencing God in New, Exciting Ways
By Laura Langley
From the very beginning of his book Extreme Prayer: The Impossible Prayers God Promises to Answer, Greg Pruett, pulls readers in with his honesty and transparency, sharing how his marriage and cross-cultural ministry in West Africa would have failed except he says that “God honored our decision to pray instead of giving up.”
The Pruetts found themselves struggling to live in a small African village with no modern conveniences, hand-washing cloth diapers with no running water or washing machine. Trying to live in a difficult land and culture took energy enough, but the Pruetts also faced the pressure of translating the Bible among a people who traditionally followed the Qur’an.
Pruett says, “I believe God took me out on a limb and sawed it off because he wanted me to find out that He is real. . . He wanted me to learn than when it comes to success or failure, prayer is vital.”
Throughout the remainder of Extreme Prayer, he shows readers how to tap into the power of extreme prayer in the midst of desperate and heart-hungry moments. Pruett doesn’t just spout platitudes; instead, he shares tried and true lessons he learned himself through twelve years of cross-cultural ministry and then as president of Pioneer Bible Translators since 2007.
Initially, I was a little concerned reading some of the chapter titles like “Blank Checks,” “Name Power,” and “Blind Faith.” So many Bible teachers have misused these principles and turned them into a “name it and claim it” theology. Others have suggested that if one prays and is not healed from an illness, he doesn’t have enough faith.
Pruett himself said he based the idea of extreme prayer on the study and application of Jesus’ scriptural promises to do whatever we ask when we pray in His name. So, I was pleased to read that Pruett qualified his statement by saying, “Praying in Jesus’ name' doesn’t mean asking for a Ferrari and tacking on the magic words ‘in Jesus’ name.’ It means presenting requests that resonate with Jesus’ character, praying ‘for his name’s sake’ prayers that advance his plans for the earth—in other words, proclaiming Kingdom of God-oriented prayers.”
At another point, Pruett says that faith in God results in extreme answers to our extreme prayers. Again, I was a bit concerned. But not for long! Pruett said, “Just because our prayers are not answered as we expect does not necessarily mean our faith is the problem,” and he goes on to address reasons we might not get the answer we expect. I guess I shouldn’t have questioned a Bible translator’s accuracy in interpreting biblical principles.
Overall, I found Extreme Prayer to be highly encouraging as well as motivating. All the way through, Pruett maintained a kingdom focus, showing readers how to prayer big prayers that line up with God’s Word and His desires. I can't wait to put these principles into practice my own prayer life and experience God in new and exciting ways.
If you’re looking to strengthen or freshen up your prayer life, I guarantee you will enjoy this book and grow from it. I’d even recommend that small groups or ministry teams read, pray and study through Extreme Prayer together. At the end of each chapter are some great questions for personal reflection and group discussion.
