Mountains of Prayer: A Story of God's Spectacular Participation in One Man's Life

After hitting bottom emotionally and spiritually, the author comes to faith in Jesus. In his new Christian walk, he struggles with the anxiety, fear, and poor decision-making habits from his past, along with wounds from a failed marriage. Claiming promises in the Bible, along with attending church and sending "mountains of prayers," he perseveres. He notes that troubled people seem to be seeking him out for comfort and advice. It appears that despite his past academic failures and dread of formal education, God's will is for him to go back to school. As he applies to a program in counseling, events and circumstances come together for him in ways that could only be brought about by the hand of God. After receiving a master's degree in marriage and family counseling, he realizes that his studies helped bring healing in his own life. The author sees God's hand at work in his new marriage; his wife, a physician, also pursues a specialty in the mental health field. The two are in compatible ministries, helping troubled individuals find healing through a relationship with Jesus.

Barry Pratt wrote his book as a testimony to the way God answers prayers and the amazing way He works for those who seek His will. He urges his readers to claim the promises in the Bible and involve Jesus in every aspect of their lives.
