The story To Save My Son began the day he told me he was going to quit drinking. He knew that his body could no longer take this destructive lifestyle. Don chose to live. At that moment the struggle to stay alive began. Our doctor told Don he had potentially two months to live. These two months would be very painful. No mother wants to hear those words. I could not accept that, so the search for help to save Don's life began. Every day was a challenge that only could be lead by God. We were blessed to have several caring professionals aid us along this journey. It is impossible to describe what each day was like. It is difficult to express in words the emotions and experiences of this time. This story is my attempt to share the words that are in my heart. Many days were spent rushing to the hospital by car or by ambulance. Confusion took over Don's mind. His body swelled with fluid, making it hard for him to breath. We struggled for months as Don's liver ceased to function and we waited in anticipation for help. Endless tests had to be done in preparation for the possibility of a liver transplant. Don's strength and determination were inspiring. My husband and I dedicated every day to this life saving journey. My prayer is that this book will help save someone from the destruction of alcohol.

When God's people pray, they want answers. Yet many Christians don't know how to pray both effectively - in a way that gets results - and humbly - in a way that aligns with God's will. Prayer is a powerful weapon against the true adversaries of God's people: principalities, powers, dark rulers and spiritual wickedness in high places. These forces are the perpetrators of all kinds of evil: Addiction, abuse, poverty and spiritual bondage run rampant through families, churches, cities and nations. What can believers do to battle these forces? They can pray. Not just any prayer: the prayer of petition, known throughout Christian history as the prayer that gets results. Prayer of Petition explores this powerful prayer in detail, from the many examples found in God's Word to more recent instances of incredible miracles ushered in by this prayer. Readers will learn the biblical definitions of petition and supplication, and examine the key components of preparation, thanksgiving and humility. As readers learn to petition the Ruler of All, their confidence that God will prevail - no matter what - will grow, and as they learn to rest in His promises, peace will reign over their hearts through the coming revival.
