2011 Leadership Journal Top Book of the Year "At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with you. . . . From the human side of this equation it is meditative prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship." Richard Foster, bestselling author and founder of Renovar?, writes these words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God. Weaving together quotes and stories from the lives of mothers and fathers of the faith as well as powerful encounters with God from his own life, Foster describes the riches of quieting your mind and heart in order to listen to and obey God more closely. Along the way, at perhaps his clearest, most practical best, he also provides the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this prayer practice for yourself. The journey into meditative prayer is not easy, but it is essential. And, as Foster shows, it's possible, even in the midst of the noisy, often chaotic world we live in. Your soul can become a sanctuary where you fellowship with the very God of the universe, who knows you and loves you deeply. These pages point the way.

Wiersbe explains and applies the elements of the Lord's Prayer to everyday prayer so readers get excited about maturing in their personal prayer ministries. Any reader wanting to experience a more satisfying and effective prayer life will cherish this thoughtful book.

Beloved and bestselling author Bob Goff provides you with a year's worth of inspiring, unexpected, thought-provoking teaching that will prepare you for the day ahead.

A revived faith starts with a revived prayer life.

This book will help you develop the faith and prayer life that God desires for you.
What if your communication with God became as vibrant as the interaction between
you and your best friend? What if God literally responded to your praise, your
worship, and your requests? This is absolutely God’s will for your prayer life!

For many, prayer is only a matter of blessing their food, asking for help during a
crisis, or whispering a need when they feel they are at the end of their rope.

Unfortunately, this barely scratches the surface of the prayer life God wants to share
with us.

In Prayer That Changes Everything, Mary Colbert unpacks five principles to
revolutionize readers’ faith and help them experience the full dimension of the
relationship they can have with God through prayer. She challenges readers to:

• Recognize that faith is alive and must be in action
• Live with a faith that excites God
• Realize that faith is the substance of all things
• See the thing they want God to do as done and begin to praise Him for it; and
• know that love is the fuel
  

It takes courage to hope; to stand in our confusion and grief and still to believe that `God is not helpless among the ruins'. Guided by Habakkuk and his prophetic landmarks, this book is a reflective journey through the tangled landscape of bewildered faith, through places of wrestling and waiting, and on into the growth space of deepened trust and transformation. Read it and learn the value and practice of honest prayer, of surrender, of silence and listening, and of irresistible hoping.

Let's Get Down to the Truth

You know the "prosperity gospel." The "name it and claim it gospel." The "political gospel." The messages being preached on at least 90 percent of religious television. But what about the Gospel? What was it the apostle Paul was "unashamed" of?

Most Christians don't understand what the true Gospel of Jesus is. In our church sanctuaries pastors neglect to preach the fear of God and eternal punishment. Church communities have grown to believe that all are saved and none will be lost. Meanwhile many other Christians lack assurance of their own salvation and focus on sanctification as their only ticket to Heaven.

They ignore what was historically introduced by Jesus, filled out by the apostle Paul, and articulated by the sixteenth-century Reformers. The Gospel has been brushed to one side, and evidence of this is seen in how churches are misleading and even mistreating people.

IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE SAVED.

Respected author and theologian R. T. Kendall sounds a wake-up call for churches across the globe. Whatever Happened to the Gospel? seeks to reacquaint you with the Gospel and reignite a passion in your heart to know more of God.

Having trouble talking to God? You're not alone.

We know we can talk to God, but it just sounds so important, so intimidating, so "religious." We assume that only the very spiritual talk to him or hear from him directly. But author Sheila Walsh says, "Every sound we utter, every thank you we say, every tear we cry in God's presence is prayer."

"Get Off Your Knees and Pray" is a real woman's guide to real prayer―from understanding the biblical basis for prayer to cultivating a vital personal relationship with God. It is the perfect blend of practical advice, personal stories, and biblical truth to encourage and help you achieve greater intimacy with God through prayer. Prayer is not just a few sentences we say while on our knees. It is living out our ongoing, every-moment commitment to God.

"Sheila steers us away from prayer as formula (say the right things the right way and God responds) and toward prayer as picture― a picture of God's desired relationship. Talking. Listening. Trusting. Living. This volume, warm and witty like its author, deserves a spot on every reading calendar." ―Max Lucado, best-selling author and minister

"No matter what kind of difficulty you have about prayer, this book will help. Sheila has experienced all of them, and she will take you through them to where God has taken her: straight into His very real and accepting Presence." ―Dr. Henry Cloud, speaker and coauthor of "Boundaries"

'Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' Rudolf Steiner once called the Lord's Prayer the 'greatest initiation prayer', and he spoke about it many times, also referring to it as the central prayer of Christian experience. This book is, however, the first time that all of Steiner's comments, accounts and perspectives have been brought together in one place, presenting the full scope and depth of his ideas. Along the way, Peter Selg reveals some surprising insights into the spiritual history and mission of Christianity.
