The events in the recent months are taking toll on Preston and he writes, “I’d ask that you pray for me please. While I am interactive with Jim [the TV host], I’m tired, very tired. As you would suspect, life has not slowed down yet after Mom’s passing and the Thanksgiving holiday. I don’t regret the investment of my energy and life in joining my family to care for our folks, but the last months have clearly taken their toll. I need to tend to my health right away.”

Please make this request a matter of your conversations with Father. As you talk to Him, please inquire of what you might do to support the vision of No Mercy. The Christmas season, though busy, affords opportunities for reflection and analysis. Do not hesitate to dream big of how God can use you in relation to No Mercy. What you are really dreaming about is how to help people walk in the Light. And please, share what you hear from Father and what is on your heart. If He puts a dream in you, He will confirm it throughout the community of Believers.

Be blessed as you dream boldly,

Preston already wrote an eloquent tribute to Anabel and her life. I could not add to it, instead I would focus our attention on some of the significant developments surrounding No Mercy.

Preston is about to make his first TV appearance in promoting the book. It is notable that the first TV presentation is not on home soil, but in Canada. The two largest Canadian Christian TV networks will hold interviews and will promote the book. Although this is very exciting, there have been many logistical challenges. Shipping books from the US is cost prohibitive, so new printing, distribution and shipping companies had to be located in Canada. Please pray that every single detail comes together, and that Father would protect every link in the chain of production and distribution. Pray for a warm reception of the book on the Canadian market and specifically that ALL inventory would be sold. Pray that US TV stations will pick up Preston as a guest speaker. Most of all pray for the spiritual transformation of Canada and its people. Father loves the Canadian people and for some reason He is choosing Canada as the first market to widely spread No Mercy.

Be blessed as you pray,

Just as Bill and Anabel were given an assignment to pour into the Body of Christ truths about Father’s love and grace, so is Preston. His, however, is a prophetic assignment under a writer’s mantle. He is dispelling lies about Father through language and imagery that speak to this generation. As such his calling is life-giving to the Body and infuriating to Satan. Satan spares no effort to cause diversion, distraction and despair. Granted, Father is neither surprised, nor distant, nor powerless to intervene and open Preston’s schedule so that he writes the sequel of No Mercy and keeps up his blog. But our Heavenly Daddy has set a natural order in motion and for the majority of our lives we and our families are subject to it. So we walk it out. We walk it out in fellowship with Him, in a constant conversation and a relationship. Yet, in the midst of the natural order, we need to ask Daddy for supernatural intervention, breakthrough of the confines of the physical and manifestation of the miraculous. Father loves to give lavish gifts to His children. He is not a stingy miracle worker. He does not ration out His blessings. They are endless. So is his love, grace, patience. So, please ask boldly for Preston and his family, for provision, protection and help in every way, and, for the expansion of No Mercy’s reach above and beyond what we have imagined. Do not miss to ask for yourself as well. Above and beyond.

Be blessed as you pray boldly,

This is what is occurring with the advancement of No Mercy. Satan cannot do anything about us praying, people’s lives been changed, and the No Mercy team working hard. But he is doing his darn best to slow us down before the next step. He is bringing technological, personal and professional glitches of mass proportions in order to consume our time.

The Kindle designer ran into one of those glitches and gave up. So, we need a new Kindle expert. Please pray for an excellent professional who would either volunteer their time or fit in a shoe string budget. We are believing Father that the Kindle version will be available to the Christmas shoppers.

The Lord has provided a wonderful audio developer, Abe, who is ready to work on an audio version of No Mercy. Please pray that Preston would be able to prepare and record the book without distractions. Pray as Preston invests very significant amounts of time in caring for his parents.

Finally, a magnificent answer to your prayers is an upcoming interview and publicity campaign on one (or two) of the largest Christian TV stations in Canada. There is much preparation to be done. Please pray that nothing stands in the way of the campaign and that it yields more book readers and partnerships.

Be blessed as you pray and stay focused on what God’s put in your heart,

Whew. Ever wonder where that nonsensical confusion comes from during a discussion that turns into a fight? Ever done a test on dropped calls and then watched the Tech’s eyes as you report your findings?

Cell is not working. Home computer unstable. Land line not working reliably. And, no one knows why. All new SIM cards, new phone, new cable lines, new modems, new land line phones…. No progress. Hours and hours of time.

If you go out to meet the enemy and don’t encounter resistance, you’ve only gone for a walk. Done enough walking. I received a text from my friend Kevin a few days before he died of cancer. His text came early in the morning—like about 2:00 AM—stating that he had a broken beer bottle and was going after the enemy in an all-out brawl. Of course, it was a figure of speech that he and I had discussed, but I knew what he meant, and it all occurred in his hospital room.

Like Hank says in “No Mercy” at one point, “I’m not a knight. I’m a knife fighter, a barroom brawler.” He’s thinking there is more nobility in being a knight than a knife fighter, but the knights around him correct his opinion.

It should be encouraging that we have an opportunity to engage the battle. But, it is essential that we understand: warriors do not go into battle alone. Thus, the reason for the Prayer Tribe: to link us all together in a common cause that takes life and light into the enemy’s territory and strongholds.

Enough of holding our ground. Countries hold ground. Warriors seize territory, which in this case, is the hearts and lives of those caught in darkness who long to walk in the light.

For more about walking in the light, check this out.

A few weeks ago, I was reading World Magazine, the Christian alternative to Newsweek. It is a great magazine and when I saw the book review page my heart jumped. I immediately thought, “This is where No Mercy needs to be reviewed.” When Father gives you an idea, he has a way to carry it out. He reminded me that a students I had ministered to used to work for World Magazine. I wrote her. To make a long story short, I ended up with an email from the editor letting me know that they would accept a copy of the book to review. They did not guarantee a review but they asked for the book nonetheless. I have been on the look out for a review of No Mercy since, but haven’t seen it yet. This puzzled me. Father opened a huge door after all. And than I remembered that I never shared with you and or included you in the process. It is awesome enough to get an email from the editor asking for the book. It built my faith up. It encouraged me. But Father reminded me that that we are in this journey together. It’s not just about me being encouraged and seeing God at work. It is about all of us, as a body, united around the heart of God, trusting Him, seeking His thoughts and ideas, carrying them out and being on adventure with Him. So, let’s go together before Father and ask that the editor of World Magazine picks up the book and writes an excellent commentary.

But let’s not stop there. Think of the ministries that have influenced you. Ask Father to open doors there, to use you to share No Mercy. And please, include the rest of us on the journey. It is not fun going alone on this.

Be blessed as you dream big,

Father is shaping a sequel to No Mercy in Preston’s heart and Preston is gearing to put it on paper. Please spend time with Father and fellowship about this. Writing a book is akin to carrying a child and giving birth. There is pain, there is fatigue, there is a continual discomfort, there is a long list of tasks. There is need for space, strength and diligence.

In addition, Preston began posting weekly blogs. These are designed to mentor, encourage, teach those who have read the book and want to continue walking in what they have learned. Please continue to pray for the readers that they may read the book, appropriate the truths and share the book with their networks.

On the marketing front, the team is battling increased life and work responsibilities. Some days I wonder if satan’s strategy is to avalanche us with “good” things so that we miss the “excellent” ones. Please pray against this.

Our Tribe of about 90 people is strong and a force to be reckoned with. We are trusting not in our wisdom, strength or ingenuity but we are looking to Father. We have joined Him and I am excited to see where He would take us this Fall.

Be blessed in the new season,

On another note, Preston and Di are reentering their routines after summer travels. Di is back to the classroom and Preston is arranging coaching jobs and business travel. They covet your prayers for the next season. Preston is thinking about the sequel of No Mercy and is seeking the best time and place to get away and write. We are praying that Father will grow the sales of No Mercy so that Preston will be able to write the sequel and will not need to take on a full time job. This is where the work of the marketing team is so important; please continue to lift us up.

An important blessing and result of your intersession is that Preston’s parents are currently in stable health and back into their own home. Rejoicing!

These are some thoughts for you to fellowship with Father about. As you talk to him about what is in His heart regarding No Mercy, please share either in the comments section of the blog, or via email or on the No Mercy Facebook page. We have quite handsome Facebook Tribe as well.

Be blessed as you share,

The team recognizes the importance you have in the endeavor that we are all in. We agree that the force of the Prayer Tribe was the final push in the birth of the book. We also agree that the spreading of the word about No Mercy and the impact on people’s lives will be propelled by the behind-the-scenes sacrifice of the Tribe.

If it was just a matter of book marketing, there are millions of books out there and well established promotional paths to follow. We are not following a well established marketing plan. In fact, the only plan is to trust the Lord daily and rely on His instructions of how and where to talk about the book. He is the One writing the plan, but He is giving it to us in small chunks. Knowing myself, if I had the whole layout, I would take it, run with it, and it will be many miles and many days before I remember to check in with Father. The Lord is not interested in our self-reliance or our contribution to His cause. Father can take care of His causes, promote His ideas, carry out His plans and accomplish everything He’s set out to do. He does not need my help, Preston’s help or any marketing guru for that matter. Just like the King told Hank, He wanted to walk with his son, be with him, share His journey with him.

Father wants to popularize No Mercy His way. He intends to use people with open minds, hearths, ears, relying on a daily infusion of fresh ideas straight from Heaven. To be able to receive these ideas, the extraneous things of life have to be put aside, focus has to be in place, time and fellowship with the Lord is imperative. Would you pray along those lines? Would you pray God’s creativity downloaded and infused into all of us and discernment and obedience to carry out all He shows us regarding No Mercy’s promotion?

Be blessed as you pray creativity from Heaven to earth,

Preston promised to take pictures and share them with the Tribe. Stay tuned and continue to pray, believing Father for great things in the lives of people who will read No Mercy, draw closer to Him, overthrow the yoke of the enemy and walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

On another note, Preston and Di were able to take much needed R&R this week. They could use another month to fully recover but please ask Father to multiply their time and accelerate the restoration of their bodies, souls and minds. Our Lead Super Fan, Victor, is also on vacation with his family. Please remember him and the important publicity work he does for the No Mercy team.

Thank you for your prayers for my IRS audit. God’s grace came against what could have been a huge time drain. A number of good opportunities are coming my way, but recognizing the importance of Father’s work with No Mercy, I must stay focused and distinguish between that which is good and that which is excellent. It is not self-evident but it is imperative.

As another week comes more complimentary copies of No Mercy are going out to key individuals. We need people on Facebook and the in the blogosphere to share about their transformation as they read No Mercy. If you have been impacted already, share your thoughts.

Be blessed as you pray and live a transformed life,
