Ruth Haley Barton's award-winning, practical introduction to the
spiritual practice of silence and solitude is an invitation to you
to journey into the real presence of God and hear and his voice.
Much of the Christian faith is about words - preaching, teaching,
talking with others. But the hectic demands and noise of daily
modern life can drown out God's words, and keep us from fully
meeting him. Taking the story of Elijah the prophet as inspiration
and example, Invitation to Solitude and Silence explores the power
of quietness and stillness in connecting with God. Filled with
practical exercises that draw on Ruth's own experience, it
encourages and challenges us to rethink how we see silence and
solitude and to use them to invite God deeper into our lives.
Invitation to Solitude and Silence is ideal for anyone looking for
spiritual disciplines to help them connect more fully with God and
practices to aid their spiritual formation. Ruth's gentle wisdom
will expand your idea of what prayer can be, and help you find time
to rest and renew your faith so that your relationship with God is
strengthened. Helpful and hopeful, this book is a reminder that God
does not push himself where he is not wanted but waits for us to
respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes?

Pastor of Angelus Temple and the Dream Center, founder Matthew
Barnett leads participants on a six-week learning experience to
understand how simple it is to make a lasting impact on their
world. It is not as daunting as we might think. World-changers
start with a heart open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and a
willingness to do as he asks. Ideal for small groups, Bible
studies, and church classes, this kit includes a copy of the book
One Small Step, a DVD with an in-depth video for each session, and
a participant's guide to help members hear the Holy Spirit's voice
and obey his nudges. Also included are small step activities to
participate in, throughout the study and beyond. Boldly embrace the
life-changing adventure of becoming the hands and feet of Jesus to
the people right outside your front door. You will soon discover
that "random acts of kindness" are not so random after all.
Exodus is the Rosetta stone for unlocking the Old Testament and the
thread of redemption throughout Scripture. The exodus served as the
primary model of God’s idea of redemption, not just in the Old
Testament but even in the New, where it is used as one of the keys to
understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ. Over six sessions,
participants in this Bible study will walk through the first 15
chapters of Exodus. You’ll relive the experience as God hears the cries
of His people and responds by sending a deliverer, ultimately giving us
a pattern for recognizing His work in the world. (6 sessions)
Session Topics:
• Problem
• Deliverer
• Discouragement
• Deliverance
• Redemption
• Worship

Gebeur daar vandag nog wonderwerke? Groot wonderwerke, soos genesing
van terminale siekte en kreupelheid?
Isak Burger vertel in God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag 11
verstommende ware verhale van gewone mense vir wie daar opreg gebid is
en wat bonatuurlik genees is. Saam met die ware verhale van mense wat
persoonlik wonderbaarlike wonderwerke beleef het, praat Isak oor die
aard van wonderwerke, wonderwerke in die Bybel en die mite dat God en
die wetenskap altyd teenoor mekaar gestel moet word.
Dié ware verhale van bonatuurlike genesings sal elkeen wat dit lees,
verseker dat jý as gelowige Hom ook kan vra om die onmoontlike te doen.
Soms sê Hy ja ...
God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag getuig van die genade, liefde en
genesingskrag van God – Hy wat gister, vandag en tot in ewigheid
dieselfde is.
Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.
