Endorsements
The Daily Study Guide for Prayer Portions is more than a factual study on prayer. Its interactive approach led me to worship and intimate time with God where I was reminded of his overwhelming love and sweet grace. How amazing that our holy God desires to give us great joy through an intimate relationship with him in prayer. And he does it all.

Personally, I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to navigate through Prayer Portions and to have done it in a Bible study format. Through this study, Prayer Portions has become a ready tool to guide me in strategic praying and how to live such a life of prayer.
Amy Bills
I was first introduced to Prayer Portions over 10 years ago. My friend said it was a wonderful resource to use in prayer. We looked through it, but there was so much. I did not order it. When our church offered the opportunity to study Prayer Portions, I signed up. More than 20 ladies spent the summer using this Daily Study Guide to learn how to use Prayer Portions. God knit our hearts together in love as we learned and prayed together. Now I use Prayer Portions as a discipleship tool and in my prayer life.
