| Here is a "first" -- a layman's practical theology guidebook to
helping churches establish a real, personal, and corporate church that is a "house of
prayer" (read Luke 19:46). I know from personal experience how timely and valuable
these resources can be. God has significantly blessed His people
with Dr. Thomas Wright's very practical, and deeply motivating
resource. Henry T. Blackaby

This book makes an important contribution
to the prayer mobilization effort. The solid biblical foundations, practical helps, and
insightful stories will translate into specific, intentional, and biblical prayer that
will really make a difference. I believe "on mission" churches that take the Prayer
Journey Guidebook seriously will experience a breakthrough in prayer.

Have you ever noticed how uniquely a
pigeon walks? It walks that way because it cannot adjust its focus as it moves. It must
walk, stop, raise its head
walk stop, raise its head. Our universe measures movement
in nano-seconds. If we are to reach our communities for Christ we must slow down and walk,
stop, praywalk, stop, pray. Prayer brings the resources of God into our daily battle
with the evil one. Dr. Thomas Wright has prepared an inclusive tool for all of us who need
to remember to walk, stop, pray. The Prayer Journeys Guidebook is a great tool for sincere
believers.
Dr. Robert E. Reccord, President, NAMB

For too long believers have considered
prayer and evangelism as separate disciplines. While they have their distinctives, they
remain vitally linked in the purposes of God. The Prayer Journeys Guidebook will show
believers how to link prayer and evangelism in a way that develops intimacy with God
through prayer which leads to a passion for the Great Commission.
A second quote, choose which you prefer:
I like to define prayer as "intimacy
with God which leads to the fulfillment of his purposes." Few resources demonstrate
this understanding of prayer, however. The Prayer Journeys Guidebook will show believers
how to develop intimacy with God, and demonstrate how such intimacy directly relates to
the fulfillment of God's passion--the Great Commission.
Alvin Reid, Author, Bailey Smith chair of
Evangelism, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
The Taking Prayer to the Streets: Prayer Journeys Resource Kit can
well accomplish three significant spiritual experiences for anyone who
will undertake the program seriously. 1. It will aid gretly in
learning to pray; 2) IT will give a practical down to earth program
for actually praying; 30 It will pave the way for great personal
evangelism, and all of these spiritual realities are vital.
