Jim Cymbala writes evangelical Christian nonfiction about prayer, church life and spiritual renewal. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire recounts the growth of the Brooklyn Tabernacle and argues that persistent communal prayer, rather than programmes or technique, should be central to church life. Fresh Faith and Fresh Power continue with faith, dependence on the Holy Spirit and the dangers of religious routine, while Breakthrough Prayer turns more directly to individual and congregational prayer practice. Cymbala writes as a pastor, using church stories and biblical passages rather than academic theology. His books are most relevant to evangelical Christianity, prayer, church leadership, revival and devotional reading. Read more Less
