Here is a message from Mike to small group leaders:

“As you work your way through the book and meet with your group, one of your duties will be to lead group prayer. Our intentions are to provide you with this study guide to take most of the study/teaching burden off your shoulders, but as a leader you will be expected to not only facilitate healthy biblical discussion but also to lead God’s people in group prayer.

Our recommendation to you is to jump ahead to chapter fifteen of the book and read the section on Public Prayer on pages 171-177. This section will give you some great biblical examples of public prayer to think about as well as some additional suggestions that you may have not yet considered in your Christian walk. The section will equip you ahead of time so that your group begins strong and depends on prayer throughout.

Finally, if at any time you encounter questions during your study group meetings that you aren’t comfortable answering, we want to let you know that we are here to help you in getting the right answer. Simply contact us through our website and we will get back to you as soon as we can.”

“This book is written by my childhood friend Mike Sarkissian (In baseball he once threw a perfect game and I caught the last out!) The book showed me how if I am to be a true Christian, I also need communication with GOD, through prayer.  The question for a lot of us is how and when do we pray?  This book helps explains that.  The clarity Mike explains about what prayer means to the faith and the Christians realationship with GOD through prayer.  Outstanding depth and insight into all aspects of prayer.  A great read for anyone who wants better communication with GOD.”

Your book is so amazing, Mike! I’ve been reading it this past week. Your passion and zeal is so encouraging. My friend Kim has read it too and said she has gained such a more proper perspective and understanding about prayer from it. Praise God.

Mike, I’m about half way though your book. Right on! Sound theology in an easy to understand way.

My brother,

Wow.  I am blessed, edified, and spurred to strengthen my prayer life.  Your book was amazing.  I loved it.  It read so well and did not drag and carry on, but, it had enough of the “meat” for those that want it, although the layperson will not get slowed up one bit in their reading.  What a great approach in your book.  I am glad you wrote it this way.  I am in the process this morning of going back through it to summarize and catch some of the points I read to refresh.  There were a few points that popped up that spoke to me.

The section that discussed how we still need to confess our sins and ask forgiveness to God struck me.  Sometimes I think because of being saved by Grace that all past, present, and future sins are dealt with, as they are, BUT as you stated, it grieves the Father that we have sinned and need to respond.  Wow!

Another section was the “Additional Thoughts on Prayer.”  I loved hearing your thoughts on some of these issues.  I was convicted about the family prayer time.  That is something that needs to be improved in my life.

Mike, I am thankful for this book.  It truly will be a reference book for me.  Your resources were great.  It was well organized which helped flow and I now have a book to go to that lays out the “Doctrine of Prayer.”

I also loved the last chapter reading about Robert Murray McCheyne.  Such much more I can say about this book.  I am proud of you and righteously envious, if there is such a thing.  What a future you have in writing.  Keep cranking them out!! I love it.

Be blessed.  I would love to discuss some other aspects next time we talk.

Lou

Mike,

The communion / prayer I have had with my GOD has been a struggle even though I continue to see his glorious work in my life, There is still a struggle which has brought uncertainty on how to approach deep life-changing prayer with GOD. But our GOD is an awesome GOD. He reigns from heaven above with wisdom power and love. So what does GOD do? He drops this book into my hands and by His Word he reveals Himself by changing the way I look at communion with Him.
