Leoma Gilley has been a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL International for over 30 years. She has a deep reverence for the Bible and a desire to pray in more effective ways. Having been challenged by a colleague to pray for situations in the world that are really serious, she sought to develop prayers based on scripture to pray God's words back to him. This book doesn't cover everything, but it is a beginning, and Leoma hopes it will help to enrich and deepen your prayer life as it has hers. Leoma lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, and continues to seek ways to serve God and others through her writing. She may be contacted at her website: www.leomasbooks.com.
