Nothing is more important than hearing God when you need Him most. It’s a matter of life and death to talk honestly with God about the stuff that’s killing you. Life gets hard so prayer must get real. Learning to pray when the pain is great can turn relationship with Jesus from a sweet theological concept into a deep spiritual reality. It will carry you from death to life. Prayer that is forged in the fire of life’s crucible drops from the head to the heart. Praying from your heart moves God’s. It shifts the atmosphere and shapes the future. These deep cries seize the pain your enemy meant to bring you down and wield it as a weapon that scares the Hell out of the devil. Whether self-imposed or forced on you from the outside, the struggle you are in has the capacity to change you forever. It will mark you. It can shape your life. But the form your life takes from the shaping may well hinge on one simple thing. On your knees you tip the scales.

Review

"This book leaks grace from every page. The real kind. The empowering kind. The hope-filled kind. Grace. Tipping the Scales is truly a godsend. With humor and a gift for storytelling, Michael demonstrates how every battle we face equips us to deepen our connection with God and lean into the power of prayer. As you read the wisdom in this book, I would encourage you to grab hold of the vibrant, healing and powerful prayer life all of heaven is waiting for you to embrace."
Bill Johnson
Senior Leader, Bethel Church, Redding, CA
Author of Born for Significance and The Way of Life



"Story telling at its best. Biblical to its core. If I were looking for a book to buy, borrow, give or steal, I am 100% certain I would get this book. Keep it close and handy for what I believe will be your encouragement many times."
Jack Taylor, President, Dimensions Ministries
Author, Cosmic Initiative, The Hallelujah Factor, Much More


"Thank God Michael didn't write this book from a mountain top where life rarely appears. It's written from down deep in a valley where all of us often reside. Give yourself a spiritual treat. Give yourself a meaningful dose of hope and healing. Read this book."
David Loveless
Executive& Teaching Team
First Baptist Church Orlando


"Michael is much more than an aspiring new voice in desperate times. The Lord speaks through Michael's humility and direct style to give us the exact turning point of pain. Much more than a fresh new voice, this is the heart of the Gospel."
Dr. Jeffrey D. Hoy
Senior Teaching Pastor
Faith Fellowship Church
Melbourne, Florida


"Reading this book will confront the lie that God will not go with us through the pain, failures or ups and downs of our life here on earth. In fact, he draws closest to us in these times using them to draw us closer to his side and increase His presence in our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend this book."

Pastor Roger Hackenberg
Senior Leader, Hope Community Fellowship
Titusville, FL


"This book will gently pull you into its pages of truth and unfold a God you may have never known before. I've known Mike and Dianne through hardship and grieving to victory and triumph and have never been less than amazed at God's mercy and love. This book will show you that God does not waste anything and that everything is redeemable through prayer."
Pastor Mack Tucker
Founding Pastor, North Island Church
St. Simons Island, GA


"An honest, transparent portrayal of the efficacy of transforming prayer expressed in humility and truth. This book reveals the fruit of a man after God's own heart."
Pastor John Bankosky
Board Chairman, Love Inc.
Brevard County, FL

Michael cut his teeth on church pews. He grew up in a tight-knit pastor’s home and then spent 20 years of his professional life as a worship leader and senior pastor. He was a key leader in a renewal movement that for nearly a full year brought thousands of people from around the world to experience God at the church he led. During that season, he traveled extensively preaching in renewal centers internationally.

Then ministry success was derailed by moral failure that painfully altered the trajectory of his life, family and ministry. It seemed for all intents and purposes that his life came full stop at a dead end.

But God was not finished.

In extravagant grace, He has restored Michael and Dianne. Their rescued marriage and rebuilt family are a living message of hope and healing for the Body of Christ. This journey birthed an unquenchable passion: to see life as it is transformed into life as it should be. You feel this fire in his books.

Michael is an unusually eclectic mix of ministry and marketplace. Spending the last 20 years as an executive in the financial services sector has also given him a unique perspective on how the Kingdom of God works in real-time in the real world. Knitting together these distinct realms of church and commerce has resulted in a rather visceral understanding of walking with Jesus.

He has been married over forty years to Dianne, his partner in this journey of discovery. Their three children have given them a growing gaggle of grands, the joy of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing change of perspective and posture of prayer!

All of this authors books are amazing, but this may be my favorite of them all! The Biblical perspective and insight Michael gives into our prayers and how they can strengthen and encourage us in times of trials, storms and triumphs of life and challenge us to keep trusting God and rely on Him while growing and building our relationship with the Lord is so Spirit lead and scripture filled! I’m anxiously awaiting his next book and will re-read each of his books again and again!
