The Intercessory Life: Breaking the Impossibility Barrier

by Maxie D. Dunnam

The Intercessory Life is a model for discipleship, empowered by prayer and the Holy Spirit. Intercession is prayer, but it is far more than that: It is life. The life of a person seeking to be Christ in the world. It is a life where prayer and mission intersect. The Intercessory Life teaches a way of prayer and action where there is a daily fusion of sanctuaries and streets, of human pain and divine power, turning impossible barriers into promising breakthroughs. This book teaches practical ways to bring the world into the prayer closet and to unleash the power of priestly living in our everyday world: in schools, prisons, on the bus, in the office, on the street. Through his patented way of teaching the Bible, Dunnam inspires faith with powerful stories and provokes action with practical exercises. Familiar, almost ethereal phrases like "abide in Christ" and "abundant life" are dissected, turned over, rearranged-inviting us to a deeper, clearer understanding of what it means to live as a light-bearing intercessor in a world still stuck in the shadows. The Intercessory Life is great for small groups but flexible enough for individual or even a church-wide study. Or try it for a season around the family table.

Dunnam has given us a 40 day study which we used during Lent in our church. It is a very valuable and profitable study. Though not written only for Methodists, he is a Methodist and so am I so it was very rewarding for me to read. Very good job.
