Prayer: It's Not About You

by Harriet E. Michael

A Fresh Perspective on Prayer Is prayer a mighty spiritual weapon or a waste of time? Is it something to be engaged in fiercely, as if wielding a weapon in the midst of a spiritual battle, or is it a just a personal practice to achieve a calmer, more focused and disciplined life? Does prayer really change anything? Those questions and so many more are discussed inside the pages of this book. The book does not simply offer one writer’s perspective on the topic of prayer. Instead, it delves deep into scripture to see how prayer is presented in God’s word. The book offers a thorough study of prayer from a Biblical perspective. Moving from Genesis to Revelation, this book looks at instances of prayer as recorded in the Bible, exploring the who, what, where, when, how, and why. How did God respond to the prayers? What can be learned from these and how can that knowledge be applied to everyday life? We pray readers of this book will gain a fresh perspective on prayer, too.

[Gail Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are a student of prayer—and we all should be—you will love Michael’s Prayer, It’s Not About You. As a student, it is a delight to read prose that makes your heart quicken because you know it to be the truth.
In her book, Michael uses scriptures, characters, and personal stories to help her reader better understand how to pray. This book is a personal favorite and will be read over and over again. I highly recommend this for your own Bible Study, small group study, or a gift to someone who is seeking a deeper understanding of prayer.

In easy to understand language, Harriet Michael gives the reader an in-depth look at prayer based on and backed up by scripture.

[Donn Chatham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thought provoking, written in an engaging style which encourages the reader to want more, with ‘real life’ examples of people in the midst of prayer challenges, this is one prayer book you will want to share with friends. The author brings authenticity to her well composed writings.
