In Say it to God Luigi Gioia provides a welcome encouragement to all those who feel the need to freshen their practice of prayer. For Gioia, prayer is not about methods or techniques, but trusting that God is truly interested in everything that happens to us and wants to hear about it. The book leads the reader into the theological aspects of prayer and how it relates to Christ, to the Holy Spirit and to the Church. This is done without using complex theological concepts but simply through scriptural quotations. Chapters are kept brief intentionally to make the book suitable for daily reading over the Lenten period. With a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Say it to God demonstrates that the everyday, even the most mundane of tasks and situations, can be applied in deepening our practice of prayer.

Whether you have made prayer a habit already or this is your first prayer devotional, inspiration is waiting for you in the daily prayers written here. Ultimately, prayer is a conversation with God. You don't need to use fancy words or recite long passages of Scripture. Just talk to God. Open your heart to him. 365 Days of Prayer for Teens is a prayer book that will help you connect daily with God.

As the worldwide prayer movement continues to flourish, never before have so many Christians from so many faith traditions joined together to intercede for so long--in their homes, in their churches, in their communities. As the prayer movement continues to explode, leaders emerge to give guidance to the growing number of intercessors . . . and Alice Smith is at their forefront, leading the leaders who have lifted the banner of passionate, effective intercessory prayer for this generation and the next. In Beyond the Veil, Smith proclaims God's call for His people to pray and shares what she has learned on her own journey toward deeper intimacy with God through prayer. Whether readers are new to intercession or are veteran prayer warriors, they will discover sound, biblical methods for binding the enemy and loosing the Holy Spirit in their families, churches, and nations. Each chapter includes questions and prayer exercises, with a corresponding devotional to bring the principles of intercession to life, making Beyond the Veil the essential guidebook for the prayer revival that is sweeping the globe.

Scripture, and especially the Book of Psalms, has always formed the substance of the daily prayer of Christian monks and nuns. Monastic men and women spend more time among the scriptures each day than in most other activities. How do such regular interactions with the texts of the Old and New Testaments help us renew our Christian imaginations; how might these reflective encounters enable all of us to discover the wind of the Spirit, the fountain of living water and the fire from which God speaks, within the printed pages of our Bibles?

In The Wind, the Fountain and the Fire, Mark Barrett, a Benedictine monk of Worth Abbey, offers a Lenten pathway through scripture, opening the gateway of sacred imagery as a mode of prayerful reflection. For each week of Lent he has selected a different image: the Dust; the Mountain; the Well; the Light and the Tomb. In these richly imagined biblical symbols we are invited to find keys which can unlock both our experience of scripture and our understanding of our own hearts.

With a major resurgence of the liturgical movement, consumers are more interested in historic Christianity than ever before. Dangerous Prayers pairs inspirational content with modern art in a way that inspires readers. There will be a strong emphasis on diversity with the gender, race, and historical context of the individuals, including people such as St. Francis of Assisi, Harriet Tubman, Corrie ten Boom, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many more.

Each prayer will include an artist rendering of the individual, a short background on the context of the individual and the cultural moment, and the text of the prayer itself. Covering a wide range of people from different historical contexts, the entries in Dangerous Prayers will vary in length and nature but will be entirely inspiring. Each entry will also invite readers to apply elements of each character's faith in their own lives.

Excerpts from some of these dangerous prayers could include:

"Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me." Jim Elliot, martyred missionary to the Auca Indians.

"Lord, I'm going to hold steady onto you and you've got to see me through." Harriet Tubman, famous escaped slave and conductor on the Underground Railroad

This little book is a treasure trove of reflections and contemplations on images from nature, each one connected to a gospel reading. Based on thirty years of sermons, Skaller explores the essence of sensory images such as flowers, shells, clouds and landscapes, going deeper to help us understand them as divine manifestations in our everyday world. They in turn enable us to come to insights, feelings and intuitions about the purpose of the world, and of ourselves. Presented in a beautiful gift hardback edition, this is a book of reverence and wonder, in which we can glimpse the reality of the divine.

Todos oramos... algo.

Oramos por mantenernos sobrios, centrados o solventes. Cuando el tumor parece maligno. Cuando el dinero se acaba antes de que termine el mes. Cuando el matrimonio se desmorona. Oramos.

Pero acaso no nos gustaria orar mas? Mejor? Con mas intensidad? Con mas fuego, fe o fervor?

Sin embargo, tenemos hijos que alimentar, facturas que pagar, plazos de entrega por cumplir. El calendario se abalanza sobre nuestras buenas intenciones como un tigre sobre un conejo. Y que me dices de los altibajos en nuestra historia de oracion? Palabras inciertas. Expectativas sin alcanzar. Peticiones sin respuesta.

No somos los primeros en tener problemas con la oracion. Los primeros seguidores de Jesus tambien necesitaron orientacion sobre la oracion. De hecho, el unico manual de instruccion que pidieron fue sobre la oracion.

Y Jesus les dio una oracion. No un sermon sobre la oracion. No la doctrina de la oracion. El les dio una oracion citable, repetible, portatil. Acaso no podemos usar la misma?

En "Antes del amen" el reconocido autor Max Lucado se une a los lectores en un recorrido al corazon mismo de la oracion biblica, ofreciendo esperanza ante las dudas y confianza hasta para los mas debiles en la oracion. Destilando distintas oraciones de la Biblia en una oracion de bolsillo sencilla, Max recuerda a los lectores que la oracion no es un privilegio para el piadoso, ni tampoco el arte de unos pocos escogidos. La oracion es simplemente una conversacion sincera entre Dios y su hijo. Dejemos que comience la conversacion.

Prayer, the greatest fringe benefit of being a Christian, is God's enticement to get our attention. He likes our company. Access to God means access to ultimate power. We are all on level ground here. Whether you are middle class, aristocratic, royal, rich, poor, red, yellow, black, or white, you are valued by your heavenly Father as much as anybody who has ever lived. God will take on your case as if you were the most important person who ever lived. Prayer gives you that privilege--access to ultimate power. God can make anything happen. He can heal. Solve any problem. Change your financial situation. Vindicate. Open doors. Cause everything that has happened in your past (whether it was right or wrong or whether you were right or wrong) to work together for good (Rom. 8:28). Prayer is one of the most fundamental practices of the Christian faith, yet how many of us really commit adequate time to talking to God? As R. T. Kendall points out in Did You Think to Pray? we can only benefit from spending more time with Him.
