Parents know that their children need their prayers. But sometimes,
they aren't sure where to start. For moms and dads who long to lift
their kids up in prayer, Powerful Prayers for Your Daughter and
Powerful Prayers for Your Son offer hope, encouragement, and
practical help. Rob and Joanna Teigen assure parents that just
because they don't always understand their son or daughter, that
doesn't mean that God doesn't. Collecting specific prayers parents
can use, along with stories from other parents about how God has
answered their prayers, Rob and Joanna give readers a strong
foundation to build a lifelong habit of praying for their kids.
They also explain what boys and girls need to learn as they grow
up, including character, courage, modesty, self-control,
forgiveness, and more, so parents can pray for every part of their
kids' lives.
In History Makers, Dutch Sheets and William Ford III reveal how God
wants us to connect with the powerful and timeless things He has
done in the past so that we can become empowered for the future. We
must look to our Christian forefathers and pray for the renewal of
the covenants God made with them, building on God's past work to
move closer to His ultimate goals for us as a nation and a planet.
Now is our chance to connect with the past, shaping the outcome of
the future, and turning it back in God's direction!
Based on the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), Feasting on the Word
Worship Companion: Liturgies for Year C, Volume 2 is an invaluable
aid that provides liturgical pieces needed in preparing for worship
each week. Written and compiled by a team of eleven ecumenical and
seasoned liturgy writers under the creative leadership of Kimberly
Bracken Long, this resource offers a multitude of poetic prayers
and responsive readings for all parts of worship and is meant to
complement existing denominational resources. In addition, the
weekly entries include questions for reflection and household
prayers for morning and evening that are drawn from the lectionary,
allowing churches to include them in their bulletin for
parishioners to use throughout the week.
During times of the year when two different tracks of Old Testament
texts are offered by the RCL, this resource offers an entire set of
materials for each track. Also, a CD-ROM is included with each
volume that enables planners to easily cut and paste relevant
readings, prayers, and questions into worship bulletins.
How do we respond to God, our family, and our colleagues when our
whole world is shattered by the death of a loved one? For Spoken
Word artist Dai Woolridge, there were sometimes no words. In this
honest and personal story of grief, Dai offers a creative response
to God. Working through a timeline of grief, he shares his
experience of burn-out, anti-depressants and the question of why
doesn't God heal? Using poetry, prayers and scripture, Dai looks
back at his cries to God, and His words back to him. This is a book
that will give words to those who are going through personal loss,
and for those who have grieved, are grieving or have never yet
grieved.

God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules;
he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says
top-selling author D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that
spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. By
following Paul's example, we can do the same. This book calls
believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by
embracing a God-guided approach to prayer. Previously published as
A Call to Spiritual Reformation, this book has now been updated to
connect more effectively with contemporary readers. A study guide,
DVD, and leader's kit for the book are available through Lifeway
and The Gospel Coalition.
Rich with doctrinal exactitude and a moving beauty of expression,
the prayers and hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas have long been
considered to be among the Church's greatest treasures. Now you can
bring these treasures into your own prayer life with this first
complete English collection of these stirring prayers.
This handy and beautiful leatherette volume brings you all of
St. Thomas's known prayers and hymns in their Latin originals,
along with new English translations. These translations render the
originals with superb precision and a soul-fortifying eloquence
that rivals St. Thomas's own masterly use of Latin. A number of
these prayers have never before been translated into English.
