Acknowledgments
You will meet many of my friends and family members on the pages
of this book. That’s because I almost always learn the greatest lessons
on my spiritual journey from those I know best. And so I give spe-
cial thanks to my husband Spike, my son Curt, his wife Julie, and
their children Caroline and Jordan; to my son Andy, his wife Jenni,
and their children Kaylee and Drew.
Special thanks go to those from whom I have learned about
prayer, especially the Christ Anglican Church prayer team: Conlee
and Signa; John and Laura; Tim; Betsy; Emilie; and Pam. And thanks
to those who have allowed me to share what I have learned—the
women’s groups who have opened their hearts to me.
Thanks to my agent, Greg Johnson, at Alive Communications for
his encouragement, to Steve and Lois Rabey, and to the good people
at Warner Faith books, especially Leslie Peterson.3456 101MostPwerfulPrayersBible 5/12/03 3:37 PM Page vii
