Prayer practitioners Eddie Smith and Michael L. Hennen identify
twenty-seven principles that will equip you to pray more
purposefully and effectively. Using them, you will * focus on the
Lord's answers rather than your requests * understand strategies
for a successful offensive * grasp the critical importance of
timing * learn the enemy's goals and strategies * and prepare for
victory as God's glory is revealed Complete the practical survey
that follows each principle to spiritually map your prayer target.
Then use your map to effectively focus both personal and corporate
prayer. This goal-based, proactive approach to prayer will bring
results in individuals, churches, cities, and nations as you enter
into partnership with God.
This book brings together two ancient Christian traditions: daily
prayer based on the songs and psalms of the Bible, and prayer with
beads. Prayer beads are used all over the world in a staggering
variety of forms. Combining the rosary with the songs of the Bible
offers a contemplative approach to praying scripture in a tactile
way. Using psalms and canticles from Common Worship (the liturgy of
the Church of England), complete prayer outlines are provided for
Morning, Prayer During the Day, Evening and Night Prayer during
Ordinary Time. In addition, eight outlines are given for the
seasons of the Christian year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent,
Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, All Saints to Advent. Here is all you
need in one volume for cultivating a habit of daily prayer with the
scriptures throughout the day and throughout the year. For those
familiar with the rosary and for those who have never used one
before, this is an ideal devotional companion.
This is a beautiful gift edition of beloved prayers. The small size
means it will fit in a pocket or bag. This special pocket edition
of features an elegant bonded-leather binding, distinctive gilt
edging, and decorative endpapers. Durable and collectible, it puts
a range of beloved prayers in the palm of your hands.
In 1549 Thomas Cranmer published the first "Prayer Book" in
English. Based on a medieval form of worship, its language is both
sublime and majestic. "Later Prayer Books" produced by the Anglican
Communion are derived from it - and in the eyes of many are
inferior. All Christian denominations in England and America owe an
incalculable debt to Cranmer's pioneering work. This new edition
presents Cranmer's services in a form which is practical,
accessible and easy to follow. This is the first edition designed
for use in worship since the original publication over 450 years
ago. As in the original, the instructions - the "rubrics" - are
printed in red. The present publishers hope that churches and
informal Christian groups may use if for occasional - or even
regular - acts of worship.
Daily Faith Devotional and Journal Program CONGRADULATIONS You have
made the best decision of your life to draw closer to God this year
as you spend time in His Word daily. A personal relationship is
developed by spending one-on-one time with the person that you
desire to be acquainted with. I suggest that you choose a good
reference Bible for your daily reading written in one of the
following translations - King James Version New King James Version
Amplified Version Message Bible New Living Translation As you build
your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and
study don't forget to write down the requests that you make known
to Him. God loves us and He wants to make His power known to each
one of us in our personal lives. In the back of this journal I have
included several sheets for you to reflect on the process of
reading the Word and the manifestations of the covenant of God that
occur from day to day. Please take the extra time to make note of
the things that God reveals to you in your private time with Him.
God bless you as you continue to grow and mature in the faith of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the peace of God be with you
always In His Righteousness, Jerome Spriggs
This book is presented by the Old Catholic Church of the United
States. The Old Catholic Church of the United States is a Catholic
Family of Faith, based within the United States. As inheritors of
Apostolic Succession from the Western Latin (Catholic) Church, the
Ancient Oriental Churches and the Eastern Byzantine (Orthodox)
Churches, we possess a rich theological heritage. It is a
sacramental church, embracing the fullness of Christianity as
expressed within Catholic understanding. It stands, holding fast to
the teachings of the ancient faith, in a modern society that is
often hostile, towards Christians in general and Catholics in
particular, and chooses to obey the timeless message of Christ
rather than yield to the "Spirit of the Age."
