practices of Northern Ireland's longest established peace and
reconciliation organisation. For over fifty years, it has been

pattern of daily worship. This prayer book captures the essence of
the Corrymeela prayer experience to help you incorporate its
spirituality into your practice of prayer. Structured over 31 days,
it offers a daily Bible reading with accompanying prayer by Padraig
O Tuama. as well as an introduction to the spirituality that
sustains Corrymeela's remarkable work.
The act of blessing is a powerful one in Christianity with deep
biblical roots, reaching back to the early chapters of Genesis. It
expresses a very basic human instinct - the longing for protection,
peace and happiness. So it is not surprising that the world is full
of blessings for that most basic of human provisions - a place to
call home. Peter Watkins has collected together over 100 house
blessings from widely differing cultures and sources - the Bible,
Celtic spirituality, Latin prayers (translated here!), prayers of
St Francis and other saints, poems of blessing from Robert Herrick
and other literary figures, contemporary liturgies for rites of
blessing for each room of a home - and much more.
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!
Most evangelical Christians know of Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Bible, but few are as familiar with his A Method for Prayer, with Scripture Expressions Proper to Be Used under Each Head.
Almost entirely Scripture. This work consists almost entirely of Scripture, arranged under various headings, to help Christians to pray in harmony with the truth of God, revealed in his Word.
Carefully revised and updated. First published three hundred years ago, it has been revised and updated by O. Palmer Robertson to allow the language of prayer to be expressed in today’s idiom.
It is sent out in the confidence that God will continue to honour his own Word, as it is redirected back to him in the form of heartfelt prayer.
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.
Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While
the dog thinks "You must be God " the cat thinks "I must be God "
When we first become believers, we still have a natural tendency to
be self-centered, especially in how we pray. As a result, many
Christians prayers that are more of a laundry list of "all about
me" requests. Because God doesn't answer these kinds of prayer, we
tend to give up on praying believing that God doesn't answer
prayer. As a result, we end up checking in from time to time making
sure he knows we're there and reminding him of our needs--hoping
he'll do something about them. Cat and Dog Prayer will help move
you from self-centered prayers to God-focused prayers. You'll learn
how to pray, as the authors show: How to pray prayers that God
wants to answer How you've been given a Blank Check by God The six
reasons why God says Wait The four reasons why God says No How to
pray Cause Me Prayers releasing the Holy Spirit completely in your
life, and How you need to be careful about what you pray
about--because it can be the very thing that takes you away from
God himself This book will change the way you pray. It is a natural
outflow ofCat and Dog Theology also written by Bob and Gerald.
