When Rick Hamlin was rushed to the ER he was immediately admitted
to the ICU. No quick diagnosis was made, and for two weeks the
doctors struggled to keep his body alive as Rick struggled to keep
his faith alive. PRAY FOR ME is the story of one man's spiritual
odyssey to learn how to pray in a new way as healing slowly came
and a medical crisis became a spiritual opportunity--a chance for
Rick to learn he was being called to something new, and to be born
anew. In the end the doctors were never able to diagnose the cause
of his illness, but Rick is convinced that the healing came through
prayer.
Introduction by William Barker. Bunyan wrote extensively on topical
theological and practical matters, issues that faced the church in
his time and which face us still. The Intercession of Christ is one
of these works. In it Bunyan traces the nature of Jesus
intercession, who it should affect, the benefits it gives us and
how effective that intercession is. Bunyan is also keen to show the
inferences of the doctrine on such subjects as backsliding for
example, how Christ?'s intervention is affected when we continue to
sin and are the sins of God?'s people worse than the sins of
others? As relevant today as when first penned and will be of great
pastoral assistance to the believer.
A new cover and additional questions for study and discussion
grace this bestselling 28-day study (more than 525,000 copies sold)
by respected teacher and author Kay Arthur. Readers of little or
great prayer experience will discover practical insights to help
them know how to pray, what to pray, and what to expect when they
pray.
Arthur sheds light on the instructions Jesus gave to His
disciples for the perfect pattern of meaningful prayer and
demonstrates how the Lord's Prayer covers worship, praise,
intercession, and petition and ushers an individual into the
presence of God.
This look at biblical prayer is refreshingly simple and
exceedingly powerful--and it can transform the way anyone lives and
prays. Ideal for individual or group study, and a classic resource
for any home or church library.
In her What's in a Phrase? - winner of the 2015 Christianity Today
award in Spirituality - Marilyn McEntyre showed readers how brief
scriptural phrases can evoke and invite. In Word by Word McEntyre
invites readers to dwell with single words - remembering their
biblical contexts, considering the personal associations they bring
up, and allowing them to become a focus for prayer and meditation.
With seven phrases, questions, or prompts for each of the fifteen
words she considers (see CONTENTS section), McEntyre guides readers
in examining the word from a different angle each day of the week.
She draws on the spiritual practices of lectio divina and centering
prayer as she encourages readers to allow these single words to
help us pause and hear the voice of the Spirit. "I invite you to
discover," says McEntyre in her introduction, "how words may become
little fountains of grace. How a single word may, if you hold it
for a while, become a prayer."
