Secure, content, competent, reasonably happy and fulfilled, such
persons of strength go their own way without any apparent
discomfort at having missed the benefits of the Christian faith. .
. . What do you say to the person who says, through his or her
neglect of the faith, "Thanks, but I don't need it"? -from the book
Bishop William Willimon brings the Gospel of Jesus Christ to life
for the person who has everything - happy, fulfilled human beings,
who don't feel the same level of need expressed by the downcast,
the outcast, the brokenhearted, and the miserable. Willimon says
that the church's message to the wretched and sad must not exclude
the strong and the joyous. In nine concise, inspired chapters, he
discusses these ideas: * Must one be sad, depressed, wallowing in
sin and degradation, immature, and childishly dependent in order
truly to hear the Good News? (See chapters 1 and 2.) * "What do we
say to the strong?" (See chapters 3 and 4.) * Speaking to the
strong and to the people who are weak and want to be stronger: a
particular kind of evangelistic message. They have their sins, but
these sins are not the sins of the weak (chapter 5). * Worship
which takes God's strong love seriously (chapter 6) * Ethics which
arise out of our response to that love (chapter 7) * Church as a
place of continual growth and widening responsibility (chapters 8
and 9)

An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using
historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical
instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living
God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most
astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious
promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing
Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing,
confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt
this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation
to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for
prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection
with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever
imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and
national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common
roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God
just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling,
and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . .
. Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and
practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence,
persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder
and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a
powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a
fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of
communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine
power on earth

Battered and abused as a child, my life for fifty two years was
sex, drugs and violence. Motorcycles were my life and the clubs my
family. So what changed and why? On a mountain in America in 2003
God did the impossible just to show me that for Him there is no
such thing as the impossible. I am alive today because of what He
did, because He saved my life and my soul that day. This year my
wife and I are moving to India, in faith following His word. This
is my story, some of my life so far. I hope you enjoy reading this
account and I pray that it may help someone avoid some of the
mistakes I made, and perhaps come to our Saviour sooner than I did.
A heart-tugging tale of shattered trust, growing faith, and love
that endures . . . all in a romantic seaside setting. Samantha
Owens' estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in
Nantucket-a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As

like ocean-front property. So she travels home to fix up the house
and sell it . . . never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two
doors down. As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again,
Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her
childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the
first place-a secret that could tear them apart. Is Landon's love
really as unconditional as he claims? And will Samantha finally
realize that the God she found all those years ago never abandoned
her? Full-length, standalone Clean romance Happily ever after
