In this Thirty Days of Focus Prayer, Apostle R. Joshua Mitchell carefully unfolds key passages from the Bible, demonstrating how to be a prayer asking Christ Jesus to teach us to pray, understanding that men must always pray and not faint. The apostolic prayer strategies found in this book will draw the reader more into becoming a prayer and not just praying when things happen or when you want something from the Lord. You will be a prayer meeting. The time has come when all Christians must realize the power of prayer, knowing the way Jesus prayed which was authoritative, powerful prayers that Heaven heard and always responded to, and these prayers removed the power of darkness wherever it existed.

From 25 September through 17 November 2016, I was fortunate to serve as the Rabbi aboard the Holland America flagship, Amsterdam. The ship embarked from Seattle, Washington, and at the journey's end, arrived in San Diego, California. Each port of call, from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Hawaiian Islands, then to the deep Pacific, were all spectacular. Fiji, the French Polynesian islands of Tahiti, Mo'orea, Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, made the voyage a fantastic experience. I briefly review each location's 'history', and if applicable, Jewish history and presence, and then describe my visit. Each of these elements encapsulates another facet of this voyage. Of special meaning was my visit to the only Synagogue in the deep Pacific, Ahava v’Achvah, House of Love and Unity, in Papeete, Tahiti. Jewish passengers who accompanied me for the Friday evening Shabbat Service were enthralled by the beauty, warmth, consideration, and invitation of this small, but vibrant, Jewish community. The moments we spent with them were the high point for those who came for this time of worship and celebration. This voyage was a special time and I share these moments in this descriptive book.
