Prayer was the vital component of George Mueller's 19th-century
ministry. In Answers to Prayer, Mueller reveals how powerful and
spiritually rewarding prayer can be. Mueller lived a life of total
dependence on God. One of Mueller's chief rules was to never tell
others needs, but only to ask God for help. Answers to Prayer is a
collection of excerpts, like a journal, describing the ways God did
indeed answer Mueller's prayers. The powerful ways that God
provided are touching, with power to encourage and challenge. There
isn't a more powerful account of God's faithfulness to His children
than Answers to Prayer, an amazing testimony to the power of prayer
in one man's life, that shows how every believer can appropriate
the promises of God for themselves. "I seek at the beginning to get
my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard
to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the trouble with people generally
is just here. Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our
hearts are ready to do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When
one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the
knowledge of what His will is."

Prayer, our conversation with God, needs no set formulas or flowery
phrases. It often needs no words at all. But for most believers,
the words of others can be a wonderful aid to devotion, especially
when these words come from faithful fellow pilgrims.
"An African Prayer Book" is just such an aid, for in this
collection all the spiritual riches of the vast and varied
continent of Africa are bravely set forth. Here we overhear the
simple prayer of the penniless Bushman, the words of some of the
greatest Church fathers (Augustine and Athanasius), petitioning and
jubilant voices from South Africa's struggle for freedom, and even
prayers from the Africa diasporas of North America and the
Caribbean. Here are Jesus's own encounters with Africa, which
provided him refuge at the beginning of his life (from the
murderous King Herod) and aid at its end (in the person of Simon of
Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry his cross). From thunderous
multi-invocation litanies to quiet meditations, here are prayers
every heart can speak with strength and confidence.
A Bundle of Joy for Every Woman Whose Heart Longs to be a Mommy Ten
million people each year suffer--often in private shame and
pain--because they've been told that they can never conceive
children of their own as a couple (literally billions of dollars
are spent each year on fertility cures); or because they've been
conditioned to believe that it's normal to struggle through a
painful and difficult pregnancy; or because they fear whether they
have what it takes to be affirming, joyful parents. Jackie
Mize--who was told it was impossible for her to have a baby and who
is now the mother of four beautiful children--provides readers with
a supernatural answer. Filled with powerful and intimate scriptural
prayers, this little book gives readers a way to come before Father
God in faith with issues from having a difficult time getting
pregnant to joyfully cradling that precious gift from God in their
arms. By taking an expectant mother--or a women who desperately
wants to be expecting--through God's promises for her and her
baby's future, Prayers and Promises for Supernatural Childbirth is
a bundle of joy that delivers hope and encouragement, while chasing
away doubts and fears. Specific issues covered in the scriptural
prayers include: fulfillment over barrenness; the threat of
miscarriage; a joyful delivery day; and dedicating one's baby to
God.
Are you curious about biblical Christian meditation? Through
stories, practical advice, and helpful prompts, Rick Hamlin guides
Christians to center their minds and hearts on God as they seek to
hear the still small voice above all the noise and chaos in the
world. Rick Hamlin has been unpacking the power of prayer in
Finding God on the A Train and Ten Prayers You Can't Live Without
and the special Guideposts book, Prayer Works. In this new book,
you will discover how meditation has deep Christian roots that go
back for millennia, how it can be used to live more authentically
and let go of anxiety, how to love more generously and find God's
will in your life, and how to grow in compassion, forgiveness, and
acceptance. The steps are simple, and at the end of each chapter
Hamlin offers specific exercises to enhance your practice. "If
anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take his
cross daily and follow me," Jesus said to his followers. Meditative
prayer offers a rich resource to do just that. Silence speaks
volumes and becomes a tool for all Jesus followers.
