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

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.

Whether you've been a couple who has prayed together for many years 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. He adores you, and he's listening to every word you say. Some days your prayers may be filled with gratitude, some days with repentance, and some with need. Just lay your heart and your prayers at the Father's feet and wait for his powerful response. Be blessed as you connect daily with God and each other.

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.

The Christmas story we all know doesn't begin in the barn. It's the culmination of centuries of waiting, and the various journeys of some very ordinary but remarkable people towards the most significant moment in human history.This December, our own journey to Christmas isn't so much a physical journey as a travelling of the heart, mind and soul closer to hope, closer to gratitude, and closer to Jesus. Join the 24-7 Prayer team as they lead you through a special month of Scripture-led meditation, reflecting on this ancient but timeless story of wonder, redemption and hope. Beginning on Advent Sunday, journey with Elizabeth and Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and then the shepherds and the Madi as you P.R.A.Y. your way through December: Pause - remove all distractions, be still and make room to connect with God Rejoice and Reflect - give thanks, before engaging with a short passage of Scripture Ask - bring your questions to God Yield - surrender to God's will for your life As a contemporary take on an ancient practice, the prayers written have been inspired by Christian heroes and traditions throughout the centuries and designed to be returned to daily, making space for Selah (opportunities to pause, wait and respond) to encounter Jesus every step of the journey. Group discussion notes are also included, should you want to go on this Advent journey with others. Written by Pete Greig, Carla Harding, Phil Togwell and Jill Weber

Sometimes our walk with God seems so difficult. We struggle to find the time to pray, the words to say, and the way to pray them. Are we making prayer more complicated than it needs to be? Charlie Dawes is a pastor and professor who understands both the desires and the challenges of deepening our prayer lives. He has identified simple, biblical prayers that will help you unlock the mystery of conversing with God by paring our words down to their most elemental level. By focusing our prayers, we can open up a new way of relating with God that we have never before experienced. Simple prayer is far from simplistic. Instead, it will help you connect with God at a heart level that cannot be mastered with words alone.

This is a collection of prayers by Martin Luther King, Jr. Arranged thematically in six parts - with prayers for spiritual guidance, special occassions, times of adversity, times of trial, uncertain times, and social justice - Baptist minister and King scholar Lewis Baldwin introduces the book and each section with short essays.
