As Christians, we know that we should become more like Jesus - so
we try to act differently. But changing our outward behaviour
doesn't change our hearts. Only God's grace can do that. Renovation
of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for spiritual
transformation, exploring the disciplines and practices that are
crucial if we are to be changed from the inside out. Immensely
profound but also practical and encouraging, Dallas Willard's
insightful wisdom challenges us to rethink what it really means to
become more Christlike and how we do so. This special 20th
anniversary edition - featuring a new introduction by John Mark
Comer, revised discussion questions and a never before published
interview with Dallas Willard - shows that this dynamic and
practical approach to spiritual growth is just as needed today as
it was 20 years ago. It will both challenge and inspire you on the
path of becoming more like Jesus and equip you to engage actively
and intentionally in your spiritual formation. Renovation of the
Heart has helped countless Christians begin the process of
spiritual transformation. It is ideal both for anyone new to the
Christian faith looking for guidance in discipleship, and those who
are already Christians and want a new approach to help their
spiritual growth and reaffirm their faith. Don't settle for
complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers
and discover what Dallas Willard describes as a divine process that
"brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into
harmony with the will of God." Become an intentional apprentice of
Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using
historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical
instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living
God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most
astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious
promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing
Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing,
confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt
this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation
to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for
prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection
with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever
imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and
national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common
roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God
just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling,
and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . .
. Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and
practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence,
persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder
and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a
powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a
fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of
communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine
power on earth
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.
Moving on is not a one-time decision. It's a way of living.
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. What's more, looking back doesn't enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.
In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: "Remember Lot's wife." We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember.
With a rallying cry to "Remember Lot's wife," Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for our lives.
We may not know all God's plans for us. We may not know where we are going, how long it will take us, or what we will encounter along the way, but with the strategies Christine Caine gives, we can move on from where we are to where God wants us to be.
