HOUSTON—Don Nori, Jr., President and CEO of Destiny Image Publishing announced on April 1, 2011 that Pastor Suzette Caldwell has been voted the 2010 Author of the Year for her award-winning book, Praying to Change Your Life, a guide to productive prayer.

Some use prayer like an ATM card; you use it when you need something or when you fall into horrendous situations. “Welcome to your new world of prayer,” says Pastor Suzette. “For too long, too many people, including believers, have viewed prayer as passive, ambiguous, and intrinsically ineffective. Well, kiss those days good-bye and start praying to change your life.” Prayer is the communications from your spirit to God. It’s a walking-talking relationship with God. Simply stated, prayer is a tool that allows us to communicate with God and for God.

“It has been our great honor and privilege to partner together with Pastor Suzette Caldwell in the publishing of her first book. We are excited about the contributions that Suzette is making in the marketplace and in the Christian community. Suzette’s book is helping people understand the power of prayer to impact the world and the critical importance of prayer in everyday life,” said Nori.

A nominating committee from Destiny Image nominated over 60 of its 600-plus authors to compete for this distinguished award. Eleven of the 60 authors were named finalists, one from each category entered. Over the course of the entire competition, which began in late 2010, over 10,000 readers cast their votes.

Pastor Suzette won a resounding 51% of the final vote. Pastor Suzette Caldwell is the Board Chair and President of The Prayer Institute, a non-profit, community-based organization that is committed to praying for people and teaching people how to pray. She is also Associate Pastor of the 17,000-member Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, one of the largest United Methodist Churches in the nation.

As you read Praying to Change Your Life, you will experience the Lord’s desired intent for prayer: interactive, vibrant, and powerfully effective communication. Pastor Suzette’s liberating revelation about The Model Prayer (also known as The Lord’s Prayer) can literally transform how you pray, why you pray, and what happens when you pray.
