I was born into a Royal family in Ibadan, Nigeria, but the Lord
opened my spiritual eyes of understanding by accepting Jesus Christ
as my Lord and savior at a tender age of 19 years. I attended the
Elementary Methodist Primary School, Akeetan, Oyo, Nigeria from
1961 till 1966 and Oranyan Grammar School, Oyo, from 1967 till 1971
and graduated with many distinctions and gained several awards. I
gained an admission to the famous and prestigious Medical School,
University of Ibadan in 1974 and graduated in 1980. I had my
internship at the Baptist Hospital, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. I joined the
University College Hospital, Ibadan, for my residency training in
Obstetrics and Gynecology. I was at the University College
Hospital, Ibadan for residency training in Obstetrics and
Gynaecology from September of 1983 till August of 1985. I left for
the United Kingdom and trained in various centers under the
Universities of Manchester, Sheffield and London. While I was in
England for my residency training, I sat and passed the membership
examination of the Royal College Examination with distinction and
had a gold medal viva at first attempt which was an uncommon feat
in those days. I was employed as the Consultant and Head of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Burin Peninsular Health Center in
1993 before I left the hospital for the Royal University Hospital,
University of Saskatchewan from 1994 to 1996 for the Canadian
Fellowship Training as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist. I was
later employed in Regina, University of Saskatchewan, Canada after
I had completed my residency training and I have been practising
there up till today. I pray for all my patients prior to any
surgical procedure in Canada.

How often do we view the Our Father only as a series of petitions
rather than as a way to the heart of our heavenly Father? Popular
Catholic author Mark Hart says that the prayer Jesus gave us is a
reactionary prayerone that calls for a response from us. As he
reflects on each of the words and phrases of the Our Father, he
emphasizes the intimate relationship that God desires to have with
us. Each of the fourteen ways Hart suggests for responding to the
Lords Prayer begins with the letter Rfrom remembrance to repentance
to reliance to resolve. This book will give readers a new
appreciation for this profound yet simple prayer as well as a
deeper understanding of the love that our Father pours out on us,
his children. Informal and engaging style will appeal to both
younger and older Catholics. Makes a thoughtful Confirmation gift.

'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'
Where are the fiery prophets of today - the piercing Revivalists of
old? Why do we have "gold dust," feathers, "holy laughter" and
Charismatic chaos, instead of weeping and deep repentance? In this
book, Revival preacher Andrew Strom tells of what he saw and why he
left the modern Prophetic movement after eleven years' involvement.
And how the announcement of his leaving shook the movement. What is
real Revival? And how does it differ from what we are seeing? What
are real prophets of God supposed to be like? And how do you
discern true signs and wonders from the false? All these questions
and more are answered in this provocative book. Andrew Strom is
founder of "RevivalSchool-com" and editor of the Revival List. For
many years he was known as a "publisher of the prophets" - until
his shock announcement in 2004 that he was publicly quitting the
movement. This is his story why. FROM THE REVIEWS: "This book left
me in tears, weeping for a restoration of the true gospel and with
such a yearning to see real revival in our nation..."
Guided prayer is one of the main tools of spiritual direction and a
popular focus for many retreats. Based on the Spiritual Exercises
of Ignatius of Loyola, its aim is to help people make good choices
that enable them to live in freedom before God. Prayerful reading
of the scriptures and helping to interpret readers' reactions
(which can be revealing) are its basic methods. This book explains
the 'nuts and bolts' of this key aspect of spiritual direction.
HOW TO BECOME THE CHRISTIAN YOU REALLY WANT TO BE Evelyn
Christenson writes, "I have discovered through the years that
surprising things happen when I pray, 'Lord, change me--don't
change my husband, don't change my children, don't change my
pastor, change me!, . . . More and more the fact comes into focus
that they, and not I, are responsible before God for their actions.
But I am responsible for the changes that need to be made in me."
Eveyn's fourteen-month spiritual adventure in learning how God
changes people became the exciting story of this book. First
published in 1977, "Lord, Change Me!" has surpassed one million
copies in print and continues to help a new generation of Christian
women--and men--experience the spiritual transformation God
commands in Romans 12: 2. "Lord, Change Me!" outlines seven methods
of real, inside-out change as well as ways to check to be sure it
is God who is doing the changing. And woven throughout are Evelyn's
wonderfully transparent accounts of how God aught her and her loved
ones these nuggets of truth.
