“Instead of looking for how you can be blessed, it's inspiring to hear Michael's insight on how best to bless others. It only seems fitting to consider Michael W. Smith's ‘A Simple Blessing: The Extraordinary Power of an Ordinary Prayer’ a blessing itself!”—Jesusfreakhideout.com

“Michael W. Smith’s latest book is a true tour de force. It showcases the power of an ordinary prayer and how it can help anybody in a time of great need, whether it’s during a natural disaster or a time of separation/divorce or other relevant scenarios. “-suite101.com

In honor of his new book, Smith recently took a break during the 2 Friends Tour with longtime friend Amy Grant to join Governor Mike Huckabee on his national Fox News Channel program to discuss the simple prayer that has impacted so many across the country. Fans can watch the full-length interview and special performance on Huckabee via the web. In addition, earlier this week fans were able to watch the GRAMMY ® award winning artist give an in-depth interview with The 700 Club.
