With over one million copies sold, New York Times bestseller The
Circle Maker is a must-read for revolutionizing your prayer life.
Get ready to experience new breakthroughs, knowing that bold
prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers. Do you ever sense
that there's far more to prayer than what you're experiencing? Are
you praying over your impossible dreams and greatest fears? Do you
feel like something is holding you back in your prayer life? It's
time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker. When his
land was drought-stricken in ancient times, Honi ha-M'agel drew a
circle in the sand, stepped inside it, and wouldn't budge until God
answered his petition for rain. Honi's story transformed author
Mark Batterson's own experience with prayer and inspired him to
document his journey to praying more powerful prayers in The Circle
Maker. Sharing inspiring stories from modern-day circle makers as
well as his own experiences, Mark imparts the timeless wisdom and
encouragement you need to: Discern God's will for your life Uncover
your heart's hidden desires Pursue God-sized dreams Connect with
God in fresh ways Deepen your faith and your relationship with
prayer Draw prayer circles around your family, your community, your
challenges, and your dreams This updated and expanded edition of
The Circle Maker also includes new insights about the ways that God
answers prayer along with stories that add convincing proof to the
reality that God is able to do exceedingly far greater than all we
could ask or imagine. Learn for yourself that drawing prayer
circles around our dreams isn't just a way that we accomplish great
things for God--it's a way that God accomplishes great things in
us.
Satan prowls around, ready to pounce on our every weakness, fill us
with fear, and destroy our intimate relationship with Christ. But we
are not defenseless. We have weapons of warfare enabling us to be
spiritually aggressive and face the devil head on. Rather than lose
ground in our faith, we can live armed and dangerous!
In this handbook of militant prayers, evangelist and ex-satanist John
Ramirez helps you prepare for and move into advanced combat. He covers
topics such as
- strengthening your position as a warrior
- opening your spiritual eyes
- releasing the thunder of God against the devil
- loosing God's blessings
- and more!
We have the authority and the mandate to destroy the works of the
devil. Let's do it!
The Rule of St. Benedict offers a rich opportunity to explore a
grounded devotional practice, and this book's fresh perspective
will bring the Rule into your daily life. Praying with Saint
Benedict was written for the thousands of lay Christians who are
drawn to the Rule of St. Benedict and desire to incorporate it into
their daily devotional practice. Those who study the Rule aspire to
apply the Benedictine values of community, hospitality, humility,
simplicity, and prayer in their daily lives. This unique book
incorporates the passage of scripture that Benedict cites, three
contemplation questions that facilitate lectio divina, and a
concluding prayer. Unlike other commentaries on the Rule, the
reflections here tend not to be historical or theological, but
rather present personal, relatable thoughts and applications.

More than a decade ago, Jerry Sittser prayed for the protection of
his family, yet three of his loved ones--his daughter, his wife,
and his mother--died in an automobile accident. What went wrong?
"Why wasn't my prayer answered?" he asks. "It is no longer an
abstract question to me. What should we do and how should we
respond when our prayers--prayers that seem right and true and
good--go unanswered?" In When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer,
Sittser continues exploring the issues he addressed in A Grace
Disguised. He asks, "Why doesn't God answer our prayers? What, if
anything, can we do about it?" Sittser is intensely committed to
exploring the Christian faith, especially when it doesn't seem to
"work." In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, he moves
beyond easy answers and religious formulas to explore the goodness
and greatness of a God who cannot be controlled but can be trusted.
When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer takes an honest and probing
look at the problem of unanswered prayer. In doing so, it draws us
ever deeper into a relationship with the God who is the end of all
our prayers, the object of our faith, the one who fulfills our
deepest longings.

listening to God for years will explore biblical principles about
prayer, starting from square one. Real-life illustrations inspire

God cannot fill what's already filled with itself.
Are you struggling to hear God? Is it hard to find time in your busy
day for more than
a few minutes of prayer? Maybe it's time for a different approach.
Maybe it's time to set aside real blocks of time to be quiet before the
Lord.
In Quiet Prayer, Marie Chapian-a lifelong student of reflective
prayer-examines the
benefits of meaningful meditation, both ancient and modern.
Did you know the passionate, early followers of Jesus regularly
practiced meditation?
It was the building block and very basis of their faith. Many of them
chose to live
apart from society, in cloistered cells and caves as hermits and
recluses of the desert.
These men and women of God were called Abbas and Ammas-mothers and
fathers of
the faith-and were looked up to as spiritual guides, mentors, healers,
and deliverers
in their time. So, what can we learn from them?
You may not have the time or desire to live in the desert, but you can
learn how to
cultivate a quiet place in your soul. A place where your faith will be
grounded and
your mind can finally rest.
"Blumhardt's conviction that God is present and powerful and able
to still work his will in the world today breathes through every
prayer. These are as striking, moving, and provocative now as they
surely were when Blumhardt prayed them." John E. Phelan, Jr., The
Covenant Companion End each day of the year peacefully by turning
to God with a prayer and a Bible passage. We want to turn to God at
the end of each day, but often don't find the words to express our
deepest feelings and longing. This collection of prayers is one of
the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the
evening. Blumhardt's words bespeak a certainty in God's nearness.
The peace that flows from them comes from an unshakeable conviction
that God's kingdom is indeed on the way. In stormy and challenging
times like our own, most of us need this reassurance frequently, if
not daily.
Bestselling author Stormie Omartian provides you with simple but
effective areas of prayer focus intended to ignite your prayer life.
Each can take only a minute, or it can be the subject of a longer, more
in-depth time of communication with God.
Your life, and the people and situations around you, need as much
prayer as you can give. In Keys to Powerful Prayer, Stormie will help
you pray more effectively. She answers the question “How can I maximize
the time I have in prayer in order to see greater results?”
Start small and let these powerful insights on prayer have a
life-changing impact on all of your prayer times.
