What people are saying...
“I’ve known Michael for the last 10 years. He has impressed me as a man who is truly seeking after Father God to know Him. Michael’s journey hasn’t been easy but he has persevered, and has entered levels of experiencing God’s presence that few of us get to. Because of Michael’s pursuit of Father God he has grown into a spiritual father in our own church family. He is a mentor to men and an inspiration to those who know him. I love the simplicity of this book, Rise Up. Michael’s insights are profound and life changing. His journaling questions will help take you on the same journey that he has gone. You will rise up above where you have been, and begin to live in the realm of where you are supposed to be!”

“I wish I had received a copy of “Rise Up” when I first became a Christian. I was so hungry to experience everything I was reading in the Bible. This book would have allowed me to take steps into experiencing spiritual intimacy and kingdom power. It would of speeded up my spiritual growth by 10 years.
I encourage pastors and churches to get this book into the hands of all new believers, and take them through a beginners class where they can actually be lead into the experiences taught in this book.
Older Christians will also benefit greatly by working through these 40 devotionals. ”
