I’ve been reading The Pray-ers / Book 1 Troubles, written by Mark S. Mirza and published by CTM Publishing Atlanta, over the past couple weeks as part of the Homeschool Review Crew. The book sounded intriguing so I was eager to read it.
The author, Mark S. Mirza, led the men’s prayer ministry for Dr. Charles Stanley at First Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. Through his website, he desires to help teach men how to start prayer groups.
The Pray-ers is a fictional book Through the book, author Mark S. Mirza shows the depth of the prayer lives of three different people in different eras. It covers the First Century, 19th Century, and Current Day. The people followed through the book are Epaphras (from the Bible), a track coach from UGA, and a pastor. The Pray-ers shows the dynamics of what may be happening in the spiritual realm between demons and angels that humans can’t see and how prayer relates to circumstances.
Overall, I enjoyed the read, but it was quite hard to follow. Bouncing back and forth between characters in the beginning was difficult trying to remember which one was doing what and to not get them confused.
The other thing that I wanted to point out is that the book starts out very slow. It drags and was almost painful to read, but as the book progressed, I enjoyed it more.
Throughout The Pray-ers, different Bible verses were worked into the dialog. I appreciated how the scripture references were noted at the bottom of the pages throughout so I could look back in my Bible to see the full verse.
It’s also important to note that this is not a children’s book, so I wouldn’t recommend allowing your children to read it until they are young adults due to some of the topics discussed throughout.
One thing I noticed off the bat is that the book needs further editing. I noticed several typos that need to be addressed in future versions.
As a final note, I wasn’t able to finish the book before I writing this review, but I do plan to finish it. I’m about halfway through. It’s a pretty heavy read so it’s something that I try to read after the kids are in bed so I can focus. Definitely not a light read, but it really made me think and I appreciate that.

I thought it would be fun to share some of the books that I’ve been reading this year or plan to by the end of the year. One of my goals for the year was to pick up more books and read instead of just browsing facebook. It’s helped to have some great reading material. As you can likely see, I really enjoy the writing style of Paul David Tripp. He’s become my favorite author. Here are some of the books that I’ve been reading this year:

A while back, we had the wonderful opportunity to review The Biggest Story book and I’m so thrilled that we have had the opportunity to check out the DVD and the CD as well now!
The Animated Short Film: Featuring beautifully animated illustrations adapted from the book, The Biggest Story: The Animated Short Film will captivate children and parents alike as they see how all the classic stories in the Bible connect to Scripture’s overarching message about God’s glorious plan to redeem his rebellious people.
The Audio Book: This audio book of The Biggest Story—written and narrated also by the best-selling author Kevin DeYoung—leads kids and parents alike on an exciting journey through the Bible, connecting the dots from the garden of Eden to Christ’s death on the cross to the new heaven and new earth.
Kevin DeYoung is senior pastor of University Reformed Church in East Lansing, MI, husband to Trisha, and father to seven children.
My kids love watching The Biggest Story movie. The animation is very colorful and instantly drew my kids into it. The pictures and words in the movie match the book and help bring it to life. I love how it shows many Bible events pointing toward Christ.
My kids also really loved the audio book. They love listening to books before bed and this one is no exception.
Both of these products would be a perfect addition to your audio and visual libraries in your house.
