Praying the Word of Grace: The Revival of a Grieving Father's Soul Through the Simple Practice of Scripture-Based Prayer:
"This book came to me as an answer to prayer. I have always been raised in church and I never left but I felt like my prayer life was severely lacking and I just did not know how to pray so I prayed and asked for God to teach me to pray. I had never c"

“In short, while I certainly don’t have all the answers, when I look at the brokenness of this world: it is not God’s fingerprints that I find on the smoking gun at the scene of the crime.
You know where I do see His fingerprints?
On the torturous crossbeam that Jesus held onto tightly, as He carried my cross through the streets and up to Calvary. I see them on the nails he gripped while hanging there to die my death for me. I see His fingerprints all over the places where Christ stood in my place, and where he took me by the hand to lead me into the eternal glory of new life in Him.
I find the fingerprints everywhere that my Father, in His relentless love, searched for me in the night of my own darkness. Or I find them wrapped around me, in the places my Father held me in His loving embrace, and on His best robes He threw around me to clothe me, after I came home exhausted from a long journey of running away (Luke 15:20).
I see the hand of God where the Holy Spirit worked His wonders and miracles, and cast out the darkness with His invincible light. Surely this was the “finger of God” (Luke 11:20).
I see God in the hands of the nurses and doctors who cared for our son, and the friends and family who reached out with compassion and grace to lift us when we were down.
Everywhere I find pure light, life and love: those are the places I find God in the story.”

“This hope might have appeared to me like a cloud the size of a man’s fist in a vast open sky, in the middle of the desert, in the middle of a drought …
But there was rain in that cloud.”

“It begins with us letting Him into the darkness. It completes with Him shining His light.
Somehow, it’s both. Fully. The honesty of earth meets the truth of Heaven. The cross and the resurrection. This is the completion.
And I have found the order to be key: earth is the question. Heaven is the answer.”
