This little book is a treasure trove of reflections and contemplations on images from nature, each one connected to a gospel reading. Based on thirty years of sermons, Skaller explores the essence of sensory images such as flowers, shells, clouds and landscapes, going deeper to help us understand them as divine manifestations in our everyday world. They in turn enable us to come to insights, feelings and intuitions about the purpose of the world, and of ourselves. Presented in a beautiful gift hardback edition, this is a book of reverence and wonder, in which we can glimpse the reality of the divine.

No prayer is better known--or more misunderstood--than the prayer Jesus provided in his Sermon on the Mount. Turning a keen eye
to this much-loved topic, Dr. R. T. Kendall unlocks the transforming truths of what we now call the Lord's Prayer. With wisdom and
depth, he offers thoughtful exposition on the life-changing revelations contained in each line of this amazing prayer, including:
interpreting and praying in the will of God
the purpose of the Lord's Prayer
when to pray the Lord's Prayer
how unanswered prayer can be a sign of God's favor
misusing the Lord's Prayer
why pray at all?
and more
Readers will come away not only with a model for prayer, but with a revolutionary way to pray effectively while drawing closer to the Father.

Scripture, and especially the Book of Psalms, has always formed the substance of the daily prayer of Christian monks and nuns. Monastic men and women spend more time among the scriptures each day than in most other activities. How do such regular interactions with the texts of the Old and New Testaments help us renew our Christian imaginations; how might these reflective encounters enable all of us to discover the wind of the Spirit, the fountain of living water and the fire from which God speaks, within the printed pages of our Bibles?

In The Wind, the Fountain and the Fire, Mark Barrett, a Benedictine monk of Worth Abbey, offers a Lenten pathway through scripture, opening the gateway of sacred imagery as a mode of prayerful reflection. For each week of Lent he has selected a different image: the Dust; the Mountain; the Well; the Light and the Tomb. In these richly imagined biblical symbols we are invited to find keys which can unlock both our experience of scripture and our understanding of our own hearts.

Stormie Omartian inspires readers to open their lives to the prayer that changes everything?the prayer of praise to God. This bestselling look at prayer and worship has a fresh cover for a new audience.

Intimate conversations with God often focus on immediate needs, concern for others, and direction regarding His will, but praise requires believers to look beyond themselves and their circumstances and place their attention solely on God. Stormie shares personal stories, biblical truths, and practical guiding principles to reveal the wonders that take place when Christians offer praise in the middle of difficulties, sorrow, fear, and, yes, abundance and joy.

Study questions are incorporated into each chapter so that readers receive the opportunity to put what they learn into practice. The Prayer That Changes Everything helps them uncover the amazing power, benefit, and freedom that can be found in praising God.

In his classic Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, Jack Deere looked at the reason why many Christians (including himself at the time) struggle to believe in miraculous gifts, and he provided a groundbreaking biblical defense of the Holy Spirit's speaking and healing activities today. In Why I Am Still Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, the former Dallas Seminary professor revisits his earlier subject matter with fresh insight and even stronger conviction: the Scriptures teach that God is healing and speaking today just as he did 2,000 years ago. Having almost entirely rewritten Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, this new edition comes at a time when the theological landscape has dramatically changed, and most evangelicals do believe in all the gifts of the Spirit. But many of us are still unsure how to understand those gifts, and there is much confusion today on what it means to be filled with the Spirit. This book is for those familiar with Deere's work and for newcomers alike. In it, he: Explains the nature of spiritual gifts, defining each of them. Offers sound advice on discovering and using spiritual gifts in church. Tells documented stories of modern miracles and encounters with demonic powers. Examines the New Testament use of the phrase "filled with the Spirit" to show why and how God still fills his servants with the Holy Spirit. Introduces the newest literature defending and explaining the gifts of the Spirit. With the care of a scholar and the passion of personal experience, this new edition builds upon the legacy of Surprised by the Power of the Spirit and the profound impact it's had among Christians of many traditions.

Todos oramos... algo.

Oramos por mantenernos sobrios, centrados o solventes. Cuando el tumor parece maligno. Cuando el dinero se acaba antes de que termine el mes. Cuando el matrimonio se desmorona. Oramos.

Pero acaso no nos gustaria orar mas? Mejor? Con mas intensidad? Con mas fuego, fe o fervor?

Sin embargo, tenemos hijos que alimentar, facturas que pagar, plazos de entrega por cumplir. El calendario se abalanza sobre nuestras buenas intenciones como un tigre sobre un conejo. Y que me dices de los altibajos en nuestra historia de oracion? Palabras inciertas. Expectativas sin alcanzar. Peticiones sin respuesta.

No somos los primeros en tener problemas con la oracion. Los primeros seguidores de Jesus tambien necesitaron orientacion sobre la oracion. De hecho, el unico manual de instruccion que pidieron fue sobre la oracion.

Y Jesus les dio una oracion. No un sermon sobre la oracion. No la doctrina de la oracion. El les dio una oracion citable, repetible, portatil. Acaso no podemos usar la misma?

En "Antes del amen" el reconocido autor Max Lucado se une a los lectores en un recorrido al corazon mismo de la oracion biblica, ofreciendo esperanza ante las dudas y confianza hasta para los mas debiles en la oracion. Destilando distintas oraciones de la Biblia en una oracion de bolsillo sencilla, Max recuerda a los lectores que la oracion no es un privilegio para el piadoso, ni tampoco el arte de unos pocos escogidos. La oracion es simplemente una conversacion sincera entre Dios y su hijo. Dejemos que comience la conversacion.

For All Christians Eager to Break Through to a Deeper, More Effective Prayer Life
Here, for the first time in trade paper, Cindy Jacobs, bestselling author and recognized leader in the worldwide prayer movement, brings her passionate message to all Christians who struggle with prayer or desire to be more effective prayer warriors. This powerful guide includes questions like "Why does it take so long to receive answers to my prayers?" and "How can I take my prayer life to the next level?" Jacobs addresses these and many more concerns and provides solid biblical answers.
Written out of the crucible of her own deep prayer life, Jacobs starts with basic teaching and builds up to in-depth topics, including fasting and spiritual warfare.

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.

Prayer is hard. We'd rather be doing something else. Anything really. But God commands us to pray. And to do so continually. We see examples of people praying for a wide range of things in the Bible. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, and that model prayer can become the basis of our prayers too. We need to pray deeper, more fervent prayers. Or, as the Puritans used to say, we need to 'pray until we pray'. We should see prayer as a privilege, not a duty, and certainly not a burden. This 30-day undated devotional offers timeless wisdom and encouragement from Michael Baughen, Alistair Begg, Raymond Brown, David Coffey, Jonathan Lamb, Paul Mallard, Bruce Milne, Calisto Odede and Rico Tice. They focus on sections of Nehemiah, Habakkuk, the Psalms, Daniel, Like, John, Ephesians, Philippians, Thessalonians and James. You will be enthused as you receive fresh insights each day and allow your prayer life to be transformed.

We want to live and love well; we want to be a source of joy and life. The good news is that you can--and the secret is found in the simple act of prayer. Prayer was never meant to be a recitation of requests, but rather a drawing close to the heart of God. When you learn to exchange the obstacles of life for the promises of God, you will pray with passion and confidence rather than fear or insecurity. From this place of surrender and intimacy, you will discover what it means to become a powerful, effective woman of prayer--a woman whose life overflows with springs of living water that transform not only her own life, but the world around her. With study questions and journaling exercises included, this is the perfect book to go deeper either on your own or with a group.
