Founding a global ministry probably wouldnt have happened if I didnt have a godly wife who knows how to pray, and it would not have expanded as far as it has without an army of intercessors. Sue Detweiler is a godly wife with many years of ministry experience who knows how to communicate with her heavenly Father. I would encourage you to read this book and become an intercessor for your family, your church, and Gods kingdom.
Dr. Neil T. Anderson, founder and president emeritus, Freedom in Christ Ministries
Sue Detweiler is simply extraordinary! A gifted woman of God who serves with both grace and godly wisdom, she is a person of courage, integrity, transparency, and faithfulness to the call of the Lord in her life. She sees beyond what may seem to be the impossible and goes forward in Christ, realizing that His promise makes all things possible through prayer! Having known Sue for more than fifteen years, I have developed a deep respect for her zeal for the Lord, her family, the lost, and the extended body of Christ. The Lord has called Sue to great significance and purpose.
Glenn C. Burris, president, The Foursquare Church
If there is one thing I know about Sue Detweiler, it is that she is a woman of fierce faith. Her passion for God and her desire for women to live with confidence, boldness, and grace is core to who she is and oozes from the pages of this book. Grounded in Scripture and complemented by personal stories, Women Who Move Mountains will inspire and provoke you to be all God has designed you to be.
Jenni Catron, leadership coach and author, The 4 Dimensions of Extraordinary Leadership
This comprehensive manual will greatly help the reader to understand the character and ways of God.
Joy Dawson, international Bible teacher, author, and YWAM missionary
We are never finished when it comes to learning about prayer. There is always something new and fresh God wants to teach us. In her engaging book Women Who Move Mountains , Sue Detweiler reminds us of the transforming power of prayer and the joy of humbly coming to God in every area of our lives. This heart-lifting book will refresh your prayer life and take you deeper still in what the Bible has to teach us about prayer.
Karol Ladd, author, The Power of a Positive Woman
Sue Detweiler has written a life-transforming book. The stories of amazing women who have overcome many obstacles by the power of God truly touched my heart. The theme of knowing God intimately recurs in each chapter as she lays out biblical principles and practical applications. Women Who Move Mountains is a must-read for everyone who desires to know God more intimately.
Suellen Roberts, founder and president, Christian Women in Media Association
A passionate invitation to become part of the crowd that cares about knowing the person and power of God in practical ways that transform, heal, and make all things new. Say yes and be awed by the treasure you discover along the way.

Foreword
I love mountains and I love climbing them! I cant remember a time when I didnt relish the adventure of being out in nature and the challenge of getting to the top. In recent years, my love for climbing has taken me to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft.) in Africa and Everest Base Camp (17,598 ft.) in Nepal. High elevation trekking is one of the hardest but most thrilling things Ive ever done.
