The Times Are Urgent
God Is on the Move
Now Is the Moment to ...
ask God to ignite his fire in your soul!
Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people---to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion.
Cymbala knows the difference firsthand. Thirty-five years ago his own church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was a struggling congregation of twenty. Then they began to pray ... God began to move ... street-hardened lives by the hundreds were changed by the love of Christ ... and today they are more than ten thousand strong.
The story of what happened to this broken-down church in one of America's toughest neighborhoods points the way to new spiritual vitality in the church and in your own life. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the gospel. As this compelling book reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take him at his word, and listen for his voice.

This is mostly autobiographical and about the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. The main focus is on how the church focuses on prayer. Those parts are really good and I want to forward it on to others at my church. He also throws in some thoughts on culture and politics that I find less helpful, but they do not detract from the overall theme much. What is really good about the book is that he keeps asserting that the real power of the church is its prayer and that we all need to be involved in prayer more.
