Every Christian to know greater fulfillment in his or her prayer life. That's natural--as God's children, we should yearn to draw closer to our Father and commune more intimately with Him.

This book is filled with weekly inspiration that will greatly enrich your prayer life. You'll find your prayers becoming more focused, more powerful, more God-centered in ways that are truly life-changing.

This collection is comprised of prayers lifted up to God by John MacArthur on the Lord's Day. They speak of God's majesty and His wonderful love and care, and make transparent the deepest longings of the human heart. Through these prayers you'll find yourself lifted up...in true worship, praise, and thanksgiving."We need to pray more; we need to give more careful thought to the content of our prayers; and we need to spend more time preparing our hearts and our tongues for prayer. It is with that in mind that I offer this book."
--John MacArthur

'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'

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

Prayer is a vital part of the Christian life but people often struggle with actually getting on and doing it. This book offers 80 imaginative and creative ideas for setting up 'prayer stations', practical ways of praying that involve the senses - touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, and hearing, rather than simply reflecting, as we bring our hopes, fears, dreams and doubts to God. Developed from material tried and tested with small groups, the ideas here provide activities ranging from bubble prayers to clay pot prayers (via just about everything else in between), and have been designed to be used with grown-ups - of all ages!

Where in the world was Jesus when he prayed? Where is any one of us when we pray? Since we are embodied creatures, our prayer location can be mapped onto space-time coordinates. Since we are social creatures, our prayers are also situated within our social locations. But do these sets of coordinates exhaustively identify the place that prayer takes when truly entered into? Conversely, can either set totally prevent prayer from taking place there? The studies in When Prayer Takes Place explore dimensions of these issues traced in selected texts from both parts of the Christian Bible.
