LONGWOOD, FL--For those concerned about the spiritual state of the church, author Mike J. Sarkissian's Before God: The Biblical Doctrine of Prayer ($16.99, paperback, 978-1-61579-522-2) is a must-read. This life-changing book will provide readers with a thorough understanding of prayer as an essential means of grace. It aims to edify and equip the church with the necessary tools to grow in and continually develop a passionate personal and public prayer life for the glory of God. This book is a more biblical alternative to several popular books on prayer and meditation published recently; it combines seminary-level content with a practical, devotional-like presentation that will engage readers.
"By centering the case for prayer on Scripture alone, believers will be edified with sound biblical exegesis and encouraged in an easy to understand manner which will rekindle the passion of the believer's prayer life," the author says. "Moreover, [my book] comes with a comprehensive concordance and Scripture index which is perfect for personal and small group studies. It has also won raving endorsements from some of the church's leading scholars, seminary presidents, and pastors."
Sarkissian, who is currently a D.Min. student at Covenant Theology Seminary in St. Louis, has been involved with pastoral ministry for close to 10 years. In his own life, he has found prayer to be a useful tool to experience communion with God. In this, his first published work, he hopes to inspire others to pursue an effective prayer life once they understand what the Bible has to say in full on this important subject.
