Bestselling author Stormie Omartian raised teenagers to adulthood,
and her mother's heart for this age group (14- to 18-year-olds)
gives her the perfect foundation for a book on prayer specifically
targeting this exciting and challenging time of life. Along with
Scripture verses and true stories of teens in action, The Power of
a Praying (R) Teen addresses key issues young people face,
including purity peer pressure insecurity body/self-image
friendships Each segment of the book concludes with a prayer that
teens can follow or use as a model for their own prayers.
Easy-to-access chapters focus on what it means to be maturing in
all areas of life, including talking to God in prayer. Young men
and women just on the cusp of growing up will find the compassion,
help, direction, strength, and stability that comes with knowing
and hearing from God in The Power of a Praying (R) Teen.
Would you like to make a difference? These ten boys grew up to do
just that - but first they had to change the church. How did God
change them? Augustine discovered the love of God and changed the
way we think; Knox focused on God's word and told his country the
truth; Luther rediscovered God's truth and gave it to ordinary
people; Calvin realized that salvation was a gift from God and not
a reward for what he did; Tyndale longed to print the Bible in a
language that everyone would understand; Latimer urged people to
read the Bible for themselves and made enemies as a result; Hus
taught that God is in charge of the church and the world; Zwingli
challenged people to obey God's word in every area of their lives;
Chalmers called the church to show Christ's compassion to the poor
and Shaftesbury pushed the church into making Christ's love a
living reality for everyone.
