Do you ever wonder, "Why doesn't God answer my prayers?" Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Are you tired of playing it safe with your faith? In Dangerous Prayers, New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel helps you unlock your greatest potential and tackle your greatest fears by praying stronger, more passionate prayers that lead you into a deeper faith.
Prayer moves the heart of God--but some prayers move Him more than others. He wants more for us than a tepid faith and half-hearted routines at the dinner table. He's called you to a life of courage, not comfort.
This book will show you how to pray the prayers that search your soul, break your habits, and send you to pursue the calling God has for you. But be warned: if you're fine with settling for what's easy, or you're OK with staying on the sidelines, this book isn't for you. You'll be challenged. You'll be tested. You'll be moved to take a long, hard look at your heart.
But you'll be inspired, too.
You'll be inspired to pray boldly. To pray powerfully. To pray with fire. You'll see how you can trade ineffective prayers and lukewarm faith for raw, daring prayers that will push you to new levels of passion and fulfillment. You'll discover the secret to overcome fears of loss, rejection, failure, and the unknown and welcome the blessings God has for you on the other side.
You'll gain the courage it takes to pray dangerous prayers.

When we grieve, we all long for light in the dark places. We need a light to warm our hearts when they are chilled by grief. For Those Who Grieve includes 22 brief devotions and prayers, drawing on the saints, Scripture, and modern reflections to encourage readers to turn to God each day and find the light of hope, healing, and wholeness
Paul E. Miller, bestselling author of A Praying Life, has written A
Praying Church to cast a vision and provide direction for a return
to the simple yet life-changing practice of praying together.
Art, Truth, and Time is a book which endeavours to show that
artistic creation depends as much upon the body, as it does the
soul, and the soul's intelligent use of the body's way of
understanding. When there occurs a complete disjunction between the
two, as occurs in much of contemporary art, art is stripped of its
inherent beauty, its wholeness. In this book the author considers
the nature of art from its earliest manifestations to the present
day, endeavouring to show that its truth transcends time and place
through the unity of soul and body and man's awareness of this
unity, not a barren unity, but a unity which is profoundly
creative.
