The book didn't really have many new insights
question: How is the insight?, context: Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick."This book is not a snuggie.  The words on these pages will not go down like Ambien.  I'm not  writing to calm or coddle you .... In short, I'm out to activate your audacious faith.  To inspire you to ask God for the impossible.  And the process, to reconnect you with your God-sized purpose and potential."Steven Furtick writes this book to challenge us to see the immense power of God and to claim it in our own lives and ministries.  Expounding Biblical principles of audacious prayer from the story of Joshua praying for the sun to stand still in the midst of battle, Furtick shows that God is waiting for us to ask Him to do incredible things ... but too often we don't believe God can really help us.Along with solid Biblical insight, Furtick weaves powerful stories (many from his personal life) about praying audacious prayers and seeing God answer.  At a very young age (I think he is still under 30), Furtick planted the Elevation Church in Charlotte NC.  In about 4 years, this church has become one of the fastest growing, most influential churches in America, with over 6, 000 in attendance.  As I said, he has prayed for miracles and has seen miracles happen.Sun Stand Still is not a heavy theology book.  It is an easy read that is written for the church audience at large (not just church leadership.  The book didn't really have many new insights into the power of prayer, but it is a book that reminded me of how much God wants to do in my life ... more than I usually take time to consider.Disclaimer: I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
