Prayer: Christian and Muslim Perspectives is a rich collection of essays, scriptural texts, and personal reflections featuring leading scholars analyzing the meaning and function of prayer within their traditions. Drawn from the 2011 Building Bridges seminar in Doha, Qatar, the essays in this volume explore the devotional practices of each tradition and how these practices are taught and learned. Relevant texts are included, with commentary, as are personal reflections on prayer by each of the seminar participants. The volume also contains a Christian reflection on Islamic prayer and a Muslim reflection on Christian prayer. An extensive account of the informal conversations at the seminar conveys a vivid sense of the lively, penetrating, but respectful dialogue that took place.

DYNAMIC PRAYER A time comes in every believer's life when the journey to spiritual maturity must take place. At the centre of this process is the ongoing act of not just prayer in our daily lives, but intercessory prayer. The world is sick, both spiritually and morally; false idols abound. There is a desperate need for Christians to learn, through holiness and repentance, how to align their prayers with the will of God to bring spiritual wholeness into our broken communities and nations. There is no short cut. David Noakes provides a depth of understanding on the differences between prayer and intercession that has given him a strong reputation as a teacher on the subject. He explains the spiritual tools we have access to in our prayer life and how to use them. Written with conciseness and brilliant illumination of Scripture, this book will become a precious reference as our lives are impacted with a fresh vision of what it means to truly walk in the Spirit of God. Part of the NEW "Issachar Series", Issachar Ministries is named after the tribe of Issachar who in the time of King David was renowned for having men of prayer who "understood the times and knew what Israel should do" (1 Chronicles 12.32). The objective of the Ministry is to seek understanding, from a Biblical perspective, of current events both in Britain and on the international scene and equip believers to meet the challenges. www.issacharministries.co.uk

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.
