Bob Sjogren is the president of UnveilinGLORY and has a burning passion to see the body of Christ reveal the glory of God in every area of their lives and to see that glory go to all the nations on the face of the earth. He is a speaker and author and has developed several seminars which he and other trained staff give, not only in the United States, but around the globe. At the heart of their teaching is a desire to see the body of Christ switch from a people-centered theology to a God-centered theology. He and Debby live in Richmond, Virginia, and they have four grown children.

Product Description
Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While the dog thinks "You must be God!" the cat thinks "I must be God!"
When we first become believers, our natural tendency is still to be self-absorbed, especially in how we pray. As a result, our prayers are more of a laundry list that revolves around "me" and my needs and comfort.
Because God rarely answers these kinds of prayer, many of us quickly give up on praying, believing that God doesn't answer prayer. As a result, we end up checking in from time to time making sure he knows we're there and reminding him of our needs—hoping he'll do something about them.
Cat and Dog Prayer will help move you from self-centered prayers to God-focused prayers. You'll learn how to pray, as the authors show:
- How to pray prayers that God wants to answer,
- How you've been given a "Blank Check" by God,
- The six reasons why God says "Wait,"
- The four reasons why God says "No,"
- How to pray "Cause Me Prayer" releasing the Holy Spirit completely in your life, and
- How you need to be careful about what you pray about—because it can be the very thing that takes you away from God himself!
This book will change the way you pray. It is a natural outflow of Cat and Dog Theology also written by Bob and Gerald.
