More than twenty times the Bible refers to God as a steady Rock for His people. The symbol is an apt one. Rock is stable; our God is unchanging. Rock is durable; our God endures forever. We set our buildings on rock; our God is the sure foundation. A rock can cast a shadow; our God is a Shadow in a weary land. A rock can survive a storm; our God is a refuge. Rock is everywhere; our God is omnipresent. The similes would make a long list. This is a unique book. Three powerful preachers Ruthie Jacobsen, Dwight Nelson, and Fredrick Russell have contributed compelling insights into their own journey to the Rock. Their messages are biblical, personal, and passionate. They are also authentic, vulnerable, and motivating.

You will like the fact that these messages first saw the light of day as sermons preached to live congregations; for that reason they tend to carry the informality and brisk pace of the spoken word. You will find the book a joyous read and valuable in your journey, too

I believe that God is calling His people to their knees. And they are responding. I see evidence of it everywhere I look. There is so much brokenness and hurt everywhere in our world there must be a fresh urgency to what we do. I also believe that books like this one, I Go To the Rock, are part of that call. My friends, Ruthie Jacobsen, Dwight Nelson, and Fredrick Russell share their passion and sense of resolve that we access, not only the throne room of the universe, but also the very heart of God. We do both when we pray. You will be blessed by this book.

My friend Ruthie Jacobsen and her colleagues, Dwight Nelson and Fredrick Russell, have captured a sense of urgency and passion that is straight from the heart of God. You will hear it in their book I Go To the Rock. It’s the kind of read that will energize your faith, motivate you to go beyond the ordinary in your prayer life, and build in you an audacious tenacity to keep your prayer requests before God.

I believe God will use this book to ignite hearts everywhere with the possibilities and realities that can only be achieved in that divine-human communication we call prayer. As I read I found myself asking, What would happen if, in faith, more of us entered our ‘prayer room’ more often and then lingered there till we heard from Him? Only God knows for sure, but I am eager to find out! I believe this book is one tool that can help us.
