Prayer: Christian and Muslim Perspectives is a rich collection of
essays, scriptural texts, and personal reflections featuring
leading scholars analyzing the meaning and function of prayer
within their traditions. Drawn from the 2011 Building Bridges
seminar in Doha, Qatar, the essays in this volume explore the
devotional practices of each tradition and how these practices are
taught and learned. Relevant texts are included, with commentary,
as are personal reflections on prayer by each of the seminar
participants. The volume also contains a Christian reflection on
Islamic prayer and a Muslim reflection on Christian prayer. An
extensive account of the informal conversations at the seminar
conveys a vivid sense of the lively, penetrating, but respectful
dialogue that took place.
DYNAMIC PRAYER A time comes in every believer's life when the
journey to spiritual maturity must take place. At the centre of
this process is the ongoing act of not just prayer in our daily
lives, but intercessory prayer. The world is sick, both spiritually
and morally; false idols abound. There is a desperate need for
Christians to learn, through holiness and repentance, how to align
their prayers with the will of God to bring spiritual wholeness
into our broken communities and nations. There is no short cut.
David Noakes provides a depth of understanding on the differences
between prayer and intercession that has given him a strong
reputation as a teacher on the subject. He explains the spiritual
tools we have access to in our prayer life and how to use them.
Written with conciseness and brilliant illumination of Scripture,
this book will become a precious reference as our lives are
impacted with a fresh vision of what it means to truly walk in the
Spirit of God. Part of the NEW "Issachar Series", Issachar
Ministries is named after the tribe of Issachar who in the time of
King David was renowned for having men of prayer who "understood
the times and knew what Israel should do" (1 Chronicles 12.32). The
objective of the Ministry is to seek understanding, from a Biblical
perspective, of current events both in Britain and on the
international scene and equip believers to meet the challenges.

We experience Orthodox Joy most prayerfully and powerfully during
the Divine Liturgy. Focusing on seven virtues, this book offers
practical advice for our daily journey by calling us to strive
towards living a different virtue every day. After receiving the
Eucharist with a deep and abiding joy during Mass, our most joyful
union and communion with God, we dedicate each day of the week to
these virtues: Monday, Humility; Tuesday, Purity; Wednesday,
Holiness; Thursday, Love; Friday, Longsuffering; Saturday, Prayer;
and Sunday, our return to Joy: The Joy of Orthodoxy. Deacon David
Lochbihler, J.D., celebrated The Joy of Orthodoxy on the day of his
Diaconate Ordination during the Feast of Saint Patrick in 2019 at
Saint Patrick Orthodox Church in Virginia. He also teaches fourth
grade at The Fairfax Christian School in Northern Virginia. After
graduating summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and
cum laude from the University of Texas School of Law, Deacon David
worked as a Chicago attorney for three years before becoming a
teacher and coach for three decades. He earned Master's degrees in
Elementary Education, Biblical Studies, and Orthodox Theology. His
varsity high school basketball and soccer teams captured four
N.V.I.A.C. conference championships. Deacon David authored Prayers
to Our Lady East and West in 2021.

Are You Making the Most of Praying Jesus' Names? In the Bible,
names are significant-an important window into who someone is. The
names of Jesus give us rich insight and a deeper understanding of
His power, His sacrifice, and His love for us. In Praying Through
the Names of Jesus, Dr. Tony Evans serves as your guide as you
learn what it means to call on all of Jesus' names. As you get to
know the significance and power of His many names in Scripture and
what they reveal about His character, you will experience an even
closer relationship with the Savior. Through devotions and prayers,
you will meet Jesus as Immanuel, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God,
Great High Priest, and Son of God. Draw nearer to Jesus and
transform your prayer life as you petition His names every day!
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
Illustrated compilation books about the achievements of individuals are increasingly
popular, and Dangerous Prayers: 50 Powerful Prayers That Changed the World is the
first of its kind in the Christian market. Offering a powerful point of connection with
historical Christianity, this book will be a natural gift for any friend or loved one
looking to rediscover the roots of the faith.
Prayers are beautifully illustrated with portraits of each person who prayed a
dangerous prayer. This four-color book is a perfect gift for any Christian and for
history lovers.
'If someone asked me, "Joyce, if you could make only one comment
about prayer, what would it be?" I would have to respond by talking
about its simplicity. It is so much easier than we think.' Somehow
we have convinced ourselves that prayer is dry and difficult; we
have invented religious 'systems' for prayer that place it out of
reach for many of us. But THE POWER OF SIMPLE PRAYER shows us that
God desires our prayer lives to be enjoyable and as natural as
breathing. Joyce Meyer's life-transforming new book: * Answers the
most basic questions we are sometimes afraid to ask: what is prayer
and how do we do it? * Offers you the key to a more powerful,
effective prayer life * Helps you decide when it is and when it is
not right to pray * Identifies 'Fourteen Hindrances to Answered
Prayer'
