PRAYING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
A Guide to Productive Prayer
by Suzette Caldwell
Destiny Image Publishers, Inc.
April 2009
Today’s trying times are tough reflected by the troubling
economy, environmental issues, failing home mortgages,
massive layoffs, inadequate health care, global political
unrest, etc. These are all indicators that there is a need for an
answer for change.
Pastor Suzette Caldwell, Board Chair and President of The
Prayer Institute and Associate Pastor of Windsor Village
United Methodist Church where her husband, Kirbyjon
Caldwell, serves as senior pastor, declares change through
prayer is possible through her new book, “Praying to Change
Your Life.” The book equips its readers with a model of
prayer that Pastor Caldwell attests will guarantee results. It is
now available for purchase online at www.prayerinstitute.com
or in bookstores.
“Praying to Change Your Life” introduces a prayer model consisting of six fundamental elements derived from the Lord’s
Prayer. Pastor Suzette has implemented this model as a part of her daily spiritual regime and experienced God’s divine results
of various sorts. As a result, Pastor Suzette’s goal is to help others learn to pray effectively so that they, too, will experience
the miraculous power of God at work in their lives. She and the prayer team at The Prayer Institute have seen numerous
healings and miraculous answers to prayer. All are results from using Jesus’ prayer method as set forth in the Model Prayer
(also known as the Lord’s Prayer), including Pastor Suzette’s healing from breast cancer.
“Praying to Change Your Life” will become the “how-to” book for a productive prayer life for years to come. This book is a
part of a total curriculum that is offered through prayer classes at The Prayer Institute in Houston, Texas, where thousands of
individuals have been taught to pray using the Model Prayer.
Pastor Suzette has appeared on various media programs promoting the book including TBN’s Praise the Lord program and the
nationally syndicated Yolanda Adams Morning Show. She is currently on a national book tour and is open for TV, radio, newspaper and news media interviews.
