Before God

Just in case you're interested...

Before God, a helpful introduction to prayer by Mike Sarkissian, is now available; check out the book's website and order a copy -- you'll certainly find it useful! Here's my endorsement:

Before God is written with the intention of bringing intensely practical, seminary-depth teaching on the vital spiritual discipline of prayer to the common Christian in the pew, whose prayer life has been an on-again, off-again exercise marked at times, perhaps, by passion and effectiveness, but more commonly by uncertainty and tedium. For those who find themselves crying out with the disciples, ‘Lord, teach us to pray!’, this book will be a considerable boon. Comprehensive in scope, seasoned throughout with rich insights from the Puritans and other giants of the faith, and written in a fashion simple enough to enable easy acquisition and passionate enough to stir up a deeper love for the God to whom we pray, it will certainly find a wide and grateful audience in today’s Church.
