Power of Prayer
Intercessors Arise by Debbie Przybylski is a powerful book on the application of prayer not just on those around us but cities and nations. The dictionary defines an intercessor as "one who intercedes by prayer, petition in favor of another". After readying and applying the personal applications in this book to your life you will be an intercessor to many others and as mentioned before even nations. The power of prayer is real and with this book you will learn to use that power.
This book covers topics such as finding intimacy with th Lord, being still and waiting for the Lord, forgiveness, ad being intercessor in the world. I would recommend this book to any Christian that wants to strenthen their prayer lives and expand beyond just the self and family prayers. I personally found every personal application to be a deep and very spiritual enlightening experiences. Beware though it can get rough at times when you have to suck it up and face the truth about you. Debbie has provide us with a wonderful tool and that I am thankful for.

Some Good Nuggets
“Prayer is not an indifferent or a small thing. It is not a sweet, little privilege. It is a great prerogative, far-reaching in its effects. Failure to pray entails losses far beyond the person who neglects it. Prayer is not a mere episode of the Christian life. Rather, the whole of life is preparation for and the result of prayer.” –E.M. Bounds in E.M. Bounds on Prayer, as quoted on page 13 of Intercessors Arise.
I enjoyed hearing Ms. Przybylski’s stories from the mission field, serving in over 60 countries. I particularly enjoyed the stories she shared of meeting Corrie Ten Boom. As with any book, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff and there were a few things I disagreed with such as the translation used. I also disagreed with the examples of using “breath prayers.” “Pray a brief phrase to Jesus throughout the day that you can repeat in one breath” (19). I firmly believe we should pray without ceasing, but I disagree with using repetitive phrases in prayer (Matthew 6:7).
What I did appreciate in this book, however, were the vast and rich quotations. Some of these I plan to keep in my treasury. Some of my favorite authors such as E.M. Bounds, Henry Blackaby, and Elisabeth Elliot are quoted from. I was also as I studied the Scriptures in my own Bible quoted in the application section of this book. Although I didn’t agree with all of it, this book has some great nuggets of wisdom.

Intercessors, it is time to arise and shine
“Intercessors Arise” by Debbie Przybylski is, by far, the best book you will ever read on intercessory prayer. It will change the way you think about prayer and the way you approach God. A perfect book for a small group setting or individual study, “Intercessors Arise” will open up a whole new way to pray for yourself and others. You will learn the connection between faith and prayer and see personal examples of how prayers (your prayers) change the world.
Christians don’t often realize how powerful praying to our Heavenly Father really is. Przybylski teaches us that prayer is more than saying a few words and going on. Through the use of scripture and her own personal experiences, she demonstrates the very power we have to change the world around us as well as our circumstances. She shows us how to be ourselves and how to pray in the Father’s Will.
Pryzbylski’s book is meant to encourage people to pray by teaching them how. She doesn’t just plead with us to pray because she knows it’s power; she provides guidance, chapter by chapter, and let’s us know there are no formulas or magic words, just us having a meaningful conversation with God.
Each chapter ends with a personal application. It is important that you take the time to read it and do the exercises. If you do, you will grow in your prayer life and your spiritual life and you will come face to face with God. You will not just read this book once. It can and probably will be used over and over again.
Because I believe this book will change your life, I am going to give one copy to a reader who posts a comment on my blog. The winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday, September 22, 2010.

Awesome Book
"Intercessors Arise" is a fantastic read. I really learned how to get more out of my prayer time by connecting with the Word while praying. The depth to which we pray has a profound effect on the answers we receive from the Lord. Praying the Words of the Bible emphasizes one's faith while petitioning God for answers because we know we are in His divine will.

A Great Prayer Tool
This is a wonderful book to help inspire and encourage your prayer life! Debbie gives lots of examples of people and how prayer helped them. She also has Bible verses and examples of prayers that you can say. She ends each chapter with a personal application, where she gives you Bible passages to read, questions, challenges, and just ways to put the chapter into practice.
There’s probably not anyone who agrees 100 % with another person, so like all books, there’s some things I don’t necessarily agree with, but it’s still a wonderful tool to have.
There’s one passage about how we have to listen to God and really understand what He is saying. I couldn’t help but laugh because it was so funny. She tells of a translator interpreting for an American.
The American said, “What happened was so funny that it tickled me to death!” The translator asked him to repeat himself several times, and then hesitantly translated, “ It was so funny that I scratched myself until I died.”
I think this book is set up to be a chapter a week Bible study, and there’s even exercises that require multiple people, like a church class. This would still be great for an individual study. For me, I like it as a chapter every 2 to 3 days. That gives time to answer the questions honestly and really soak in the information. For review purposes, I read it a bit quicker than that this time.
There’s lots of great advice in Intercessors Arise. If you need a prayer boost, you would definitely benefit from this book. Every time I picked it up, I started singing, “Soldiers of Christ Arise.”
