LONGWOOD, FL-Step up to the plate! Batter up! Keep your eye on the ball! Baseball metaphors give clear instructions to the players with words that guide them in the right direction. Step up to the Plate, Intercessory Prayer: A Study Guide (paperback, 978-1-60477-315-6) does just that. It gives clear instructions telling us to "step up to the plate" and become intercessory prayer warriors. Written in a style that is easily understood, and using God's Word as the backdrop against which all the information is based, this study will give you just the boost you need to take your prayer life to the next level. Sprinkled throughout the work are thought-provoking questions to help you search your heart.
Says author Sandi Underwood, "I want readers to dig into their heart and soul and pull out the compassion hidden deep within that will allow them to feel the hurt and pain of another like they have never felt it before. I want the reader/learner to begin to pray for others with the same intensity and duration they muster up to pray for themselves. We must learn to listen for that still small voice that lays someone or something on our heart and then be willing to exercise the discipline necessary to heed the call of intercessory prayer."
Underwood's most important preparation for writing this book was the time spent in prayer for others and watching and listening to the answers to these prayers. What she learned from these meditations was that our relationship and fellowship with God is in direct correlation to our ability and desire to shoulder other people's burdens in prayer and she hopes her book will convey this message to Christians in all stages of their walk with God.
