Byron Fike has worked in church ministry for the past forty years. Since 1999 he has been the preaching minister for the Clear Lake Church of Christ in Houston, Texas. He and his wife Liz (Ward) have three adult children and seven grandchildren. Byron wrote Psalm Prayers as an aid in his personal quest to be transformed into the image of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Finding the guides to be personally beneficial he began to use them in a variety of prayer groups and finally lead an internet group of over one hundred people who prayed one psalm a day for 150 days using the Psalm Prayer format.
