Find power in your prayer like never before with this inspiring
guide from #1 New York Times bestselling author Bishop T.D.
Jakes.In a time when women carry more influence than any other
generation, the power of prayer has never been more important to
remind us that we do not have to bear our crosses alone. We need
prayer to stand guard over our hearts and minds and over the hearts
and minds of our families.Women today are shattering glass ceilings
and forging new paths in the world. What Happens When a Woman Prays
is a clarion call for women to continue their progressive march of
empowerment by dreaming like their daughters and praying like their
grandmothers.Through exploring the lives of 10 prayer-filled women
of the Bible, Bishop Jakes emphasizes the life-changing power that
women have when they find their identity, their strength, their
healing, and their voices in Christ.
IVP Readers' Choice Award The Book of Common Prayer (1662) is one
of the most beloved liturgical texts in the Christian church, and
remains a definitive expression of Anglican identity today. It is
still widely used around the world, in public worship and private
devotion, and is revered for both its linguistic and theological
virtues. But the classic text of the 1662 prayer book presents
several difficulties for contemporary users, especially those
outside the Church of England. The 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
International Edition gently updates the text for contemporary use.
State prayers of England have been replaced with prayers that can
be used regardless of nation or polity. Obscure words and phrases
have been modestly revised--but always with a view towards
preserving the prayer book's own cadence. Finally, a selection of
treasured prayers from later Anglican tradition has been appended.
The 1662 prayer book remains a vital resource today, both in the
Anglican Communion and for Christians everywhere. Here it is
presented for continued use for today's Christians throughout the
world.
