Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people, to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion.

Cymbala knows the difference firsthand. Twenty-five years ago, his own church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was a struggling congregation of twenty. Then they began to pray...God began to move...street-hardened lives by the hundreds were changed by the love of Christ...and today they are six thousand strong.

The story of what happened to this broken-down church in one of America's meanest neighborhoods points the way to new spiritual vitality in the church and in your own life. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the Gospel. As this compelling audiobook reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take him at his word, and listen for his voice.

"A book that voices some of the oldest Christian wisdom with the vivid immediacy of telling tomorrow's news." (Booklist)

GREAT book. Well worth the investment.

I will keep this book to listen to again and again. I've already recommended the book to a number of friends. As the Executive Director of a pregnancy resource center that is struggling because of the economy, I found this book encouraging and inspirational, I learned a lot from Pastor Cymbala which I have and will continue to incorporate into my daily life. Prayer has always been key to me, but has now taken on a whole new dimension. If you need something "fresh" in your life this is the book to choose. I will be listening to this one for a long time. Good investment.

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking encounter God In a fresh way!!

One of the greatest books I've ever read!

This was a fantastic read. rather than it being a biography of Jim cymbala, it was more a biography of the power of God and his faithfulness! The story of pastor Cymbala's wife writing "He's been faithful" was particularly impactful. The narrator's voice and disposition was a perfect fit. I found myself listening to this book in every spare moment that I had. I'm recommending that everyone who calls himself a Christian read this!

Beautiful Book

Loved the narration and message in the book. I would recommend it to any one seeking a deeper understanding of God's calling, Prayer and The Holy Spirit.

Great story, amazing narrator. Praise the Lord

Wonderful book. I especially enjoyed the narrator, who made this book so alive and engaging.

True

The narration is fine. Though the narrator is not my favorite voice, he is experienced and competent. What is most important is that it tells the truth. It tells spectacular, wonderful truth.

A Testimony to the Power of Prayerful Ministry

Jim Cymbala shares part of the incredible and miraculous story of his unlikely call to ministry, its improbable success, and the rise of Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. From the outset he paints a picture of how our calling, our ministry, and our churches are 100% dependent on God. Story after story reinforce the amazing way God honors the fidelity of his people to rely upon Him in all that they do for Him. He calls the church to be a House of Prayer, and the story expounds on how Cymbala has fought for that to be the case in his own ministry, his family and at his church. He also takes the next step in boldly exhorting us and our churches to ground our ministries in prayer as well, living in dependency upon God. This title will encourage anybody, yet, for the Holy Spirit indwelled Christian, God, reveals much about who He is and what He's doing in this world through this work. Enjoy.

Holy Spirit

Jim Cymbala has definitely been an inspiration to me. He is correct, we must become desperate for prayer that is led by Holy Spirit.

Incredible book!

Pastor Cymbala is such a great communicator. The book really made me get focused on what really is important.
