When Life Gets Too Hard to Stand, Kneel You are called to be a
prayer warrior. But which name should you call upon? God has more
than one name-each represents a different aspect of His character.
When you know which name to call, you will pray more effectively,
and more specifically to your need. In this book, Dr. Tony Evans
provides tools to transform your prayer life as you get to know God
in new ways. You will... experience God as Jehovah Jireh, "the Lord
will provide." allow God to be El Simchatch Gili, "God my exceeding
joy." make God Your Jehovah Ori, "the Lord my light." know peace
through Jehovah Shalon, "the Lord our peace." take God as your
power source as Jehovah Uzzi, "the Lord my strength." make wiser
decisions by sitting at the feet of Peleh Yo'etz, "Wonderful
Counselor." Revitalize your prayer life by connecting your needs
with the characteristics of God's names!
We experience Orthodox Joy most prayerfully and powerfully during
the Divine Liturgy. Focusing on seven virtues, this book offers
practical advice for our daily journey by calling us to strive
towards living a different virtue every day. After receiving the
Eucharist with a deep and abiding joy during Mass, our most joyful
union and communion with God, we dedicate each day of the week to
these virtues: Monday, Humility; Tuesday, Purity; Wednesday,
Holiness; Thursday, Love; Friday, Longsuffering; Saturday, Prayer;
and Sunday, our return to Joy: The Joy of Orthodoxy. Deacon David
Lochbihler, J.D., celebrated The Joy of Orthodoxy on the day of his
Diaconate Ordination during the Feast of Saint Patrick in 2019 at
Saint Patrick Orthodox Church in Virginia. He also teaches fourth
grade at The Fairfax Christian School in Northern Virginia. After
graduating summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and
cum laude from the University of Texas School of Law, Deacon David
worked as a Chicago attorney for three years before becoming a
teacher and coach for three decades. He earned Master's degrees in
Elementary Education, Biblical Studies, and Orthodox Theology. His
varsity high school basketball and soccer teams captured four
N.V.I.A.C. conference championships. Deacon David authored Prayers
to Our Lady East and West in 2021.

A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation to be followed.
Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to say this, but God's not enough for me either"? Whether or not we attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live. We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious.
In Searching for Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas: history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal struggles.
But what if there's a better story than shame? What if there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide? What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole?
From a place of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only promises that never disappoint.
