Dr. Billy Graham says in the "Words of Wisdom" foreword, "The
Psalms tell us how to get along with God, and the Proverbs tell us
how to get along with our fellow man." As has long been Dr.
Graham's personal practice, "Words of Wisdom" makes it easy for
anyone to read five Psalms and a chapter from Proverbs each day for
31 days. This beautiful LeatherLike gift edition offers a
convenient, easy-to-understand, and enjoyable way to discover how
these ancient words deliver valuable life principles. King David
wrote many of the Psalms, often with the passion of a worshiper and
the anxiety of a 21st-century person, while dealing with everyday
tensions. His son Solomon, largely known for his wisdom, wrote the
wisdom literature of the Proverbs. In these nearly 3,000-year-old
sacred writings, we hear the voices and counsel of those who knew
God intimately. Let "Words of Wisdom" encourage you with divine
hope and affirmation for living the life God has planned for you.

What do you do when your whole spiritual life falls apart? It is in
these heart-hungry moments--when we feel overwhelmed or alone,
struggle with unanswered prayers, aren't sure what to do, or are
crying out for God's help--that we are surprisingly poised to pray
the most effective kinds of prayers possible. "Extreme Prayer" taps
into that longing for connection with God when we need it most by
teaching us to pray the kinds of prayers Jesus promised to answer
with unlimited power. It's not about how to pray "more" . . . it's
about praying "differently," and intentionally tapping into all of
Jesus's open-ended promises in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom
impact. In "Extreme Prayer," Greg Pruett searches the Scriptures to
discover the kinds of prayers that God has promised to answer,
challenging you to access their power and see His immeasurable
glory unleashed in your prayer life.
From small beginnings as a self-published writer producing booklets
in response to demand from people who attended her retreats or
quiet days, Ann Lewin has gone on to be on of the most successful
writers of prayers and reflective poetry. With the "Inspire"
imprint closing in 2009, Canterbury Press welcomes this fine writer
and is pleased to announce a new edition of Ann's bestselling book,
"Watching for the Kingfisher", named after her most well known poem
about prayer. Ann draws many insights into the nature of prayer
from her love of birdwatching, and images from the natural world
and from scripture permeate her writing. Wit, warmth and economy of
expression characterise her style.
