Franklin David Wells is not a pastor, theologian, or seminary graduate. He is a believer who loves God, prays for his family, and writes from the heart.

His prayer books grow out of a simple conviction: that the most powerful prayers are not composed by experts behind pulpits, but by ordinary men and women who have stood at the foot of the cross and asked God to show up. The Defender series was born not from study but from need — the need every parent and spouse feels when they sense their family is under pressure from forces they cannot see.

Franklin writes to give voice to the prayers that believers already feel in their hearts but struggle to find the words for. If you love God and want to pray boldly for the people you love most, these books were written for you.
