We hear a lot about the importance of praying, even when we feel no
one is listening, but how often do we actually stop to remember the
times prayers have been answered? In Remember, Richard Gamble, the
man behind the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, encourages us to do
just that: to recall and reflect on the things God has done for us
- in the Bible, throughout history and in our lives and the lives
of others. With uplifting warmth, he explores the Scriptural
importance of remembering answered prayers, showing how such
reflection gives us a deeper understanding of who God is and helps
us to greater maturity in prayer. Bursting with remarkable stories,
Remember is a hopeful, encouraging invitation to a tradition that
runs throughout the Bible. It will give you a fresh appreciation of
the power and importance of prayer, and how it lies at the heart of
our relationship with God.
Books on prayer can so often make us feel challenged but guilty.
Not this one! Prayer in the Making is a book for everyone wanting
to pray more confidently. Because we are all different, we need to
find the prayer life that fits with who God made us to be. Lyndall
Bywater explores twelve different types of prayer, helping us to
find the ones which best suit us and our lifestyles. She certainly
challenges us, but leaves us ready to talk confidently with God.
Most of us spend a lifetime trying to figure out who we are and how
we relate to others and God. The Enneagram is here to help. Far
more than a personality test, author Chris Heuertz teaches us that

we are keep us trapped in loops of self-defeat, but the Enneagram
uniquely reveals nine ways we get lost, as well as nine ways we
find our way home to our true self and to God. Whether you are an
enthusiast or simply Enneagram-curious, this groundbreaking guide
to the spiritual depth of the Enneagram will help you: Understand
the "why" behind your type beyond caricatures and stereotypes

to work with your type toward spiritual growth Awaken your unique

`It is strange that we can spend a lifetime sitting through church
services and actually not really pray. I had spent years doing just
that.' When Mary Kissell committed to getting up early every
morning to spend time in prayer, she began a practice that would

she grew in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and discovered how He
speaks in whispers, glimpses and nudges - simple leadings that can
have the profoundest outcomes. This rich and moving memoir tells
the incredible story of how simply following the Holy Spirit's
leading saw countless people impacted around the world and the most
heart-rending situations transformed. Allow Mary's story of walking
with the Holy Spirit inspire and encourage you to do the same,
whatever season of life you are in.

Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The
Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is
the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive
instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful.
In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many
facets of this everyday act. With his trademark insights and
energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers
for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and
forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and
powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for
each reader. Dr. Keller's previous books have sold more than one
million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a
major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to
launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight
cities around the world. His teachings have already helped
millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer,
he'll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.
