Whatever Happened to the Power of God

This book is one of the best in my library. Brown doesn't dance around it--he goes straight to the Big Questions: Why don't we see God moving in and through us? Why don't we see what they saw in the early church? Why, with rare exception, don't our prayers get answered? Worst of all, why do so many of us ACT like there's no problem? This book lit a fire under me. I'm praying more than ever before, and rediscovering what it means to really be in fellowship with Jesus... GET THIS BOOK!

Even though this book was written several years ago, I think it is more relevant today than ever. It will get your attention quickly, because it addresses the frustrations so many are experiencing today in the "church" that has turned worldly, superficial, and powerless. We have tried so hard to be accepted by the world, something we are warned against very clearly, we have walked away from the basics of the Gospel. People are urged to "say a simple prayer" and everything will be taken care of, and they don't have a clue about the sin in their lives or its remedy! Dr. Brown addresses this openly and effectively. He comes from a pentecostal perspective, but non pentecostals will be able to relate and derive great benefit from his discourse. Don't miss this book. You will see why the "church" has drifted so far from its roots and why most of us don't want to attend any more, even if we still go out of habit or sense of duty.

Book is very challenging. Brings a message to challenge the Church to examine why we lack the power of God. Its a convicting book. It will also bring us to a place of repentance.
