I recently read this book after I had taken the Day Spring quiz to discover my spiritual word for the year and it was STAND. Sun Stand Still has been on my radar since I first hear Pastor Steven preach the sermon series by the same name with Life.Church. From the moment I started reading, I knew that it would change my life, and it did! I highly recommend it for those who want to discover where God is leading them, and especially if STAND is or has been your "word!" ( )

This book changed my life in a lot of ways, or at least the way I view those impossible situations that present themselves in my life. This is my favorite book and message from Steven Furtick and the one that will stick with me forever. ( )

This is the type of book that you need to read if you are stagnated in a mud. If you need to shake your faith, renew it or start from scratch, pastor Steven Furtick will give you support on audacious faith. Pastor Steven Furtick is the lead pastor and founder of the Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. By the way he writes this book, you can clearly see how passionate he is about this subject of audacious faith. He is always trying to encourage us to ask God for the impossible. First challenge is to find your own purpose in life, and from there you can set your mission and trust on God to do what you cannot do by yourself. Some other challenge aspects posted in this book are truly difficult to achieve, like the unconditional obedience, and the necessity to challenge the comfort and safe prayer and go for the audacious prayer.
Asking God for the impossible is something that sometimes we do, but not with our full faith on it. If we are in the desert and ask God for rain, if you do it with audacious faith we would better be with our umbrella. Usually that is the problem. We ask God for the impossible, but we do not truly believe that He will hear us. This book is a booster on our confidence that God is there, He is listening our prayers and if it is according to His plans, He will provide our requests.
This book was written by Steven Furtick and it was published in 2010 by Multnomah Books and they were kind enough to provide me a copy for reviewing through their Blogging for Books Program. Thanks, Mr. Steven Furtick, for such an inspirational book!

Insights from Scripture on what happens when we pray big. ( )

Sun Stand Still is Furtick's first book and quite an inspiration to the reader. You will see how God has moved in his family as well as the family of Elevation church to do things that they never imagined possible. It all comes by faith! ( )
