'There's a spiritual instinct in us all, and very few people do not at some stage in their lives find themselves praying, in one form or another. Often, it's a crisis that brings us to our knees. But sometimes it's the sheer joy of being alive that makes us want to find someone to thank for our good fortune.'Bishop James JonesAll religions agree on one thing: that to be human is to pray. This new collection of 365 meditations from BBC Radio 4's Prayer for the Day offers insights from across the faiths into happiness, integrity and spiritual wellbeing. The contributors give new perspectives on the challenges of our era, providing welcome opportunities, day by day, for gratitude, hope and joy.

Using everyday "newspaper" English, Dr. Demaray brings a fresh new aproach to the deeply meaningful message of Thomas Kempis' "The Imitation of Christ" which, next to the Bible, is perhaps the most widely-read book in the world.

Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme, which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners, comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date (i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the 21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.

From the very beginning of the church, Christians have found it helpful to pause for prayer during various times of the day. Whether for morning or evening devotions or other fixed-time prayers, such spiritual respites were deemed essential to worshiping God. Over the years, Christians developed a structure for such moments of worship, keyed to the time of day and season of the year. Part of its genius was the seamless integration of Scripture and prayer. This ancient practice, called the "Daily Office," has experienced a resurgence of use in our time.
"Seeking God's Face" is a user-friendly approach to this form of prayer and devotion. Each office includes a psalm of praise, a passage of Scripture, and a brief set of prayers. An introduction to prayer-book use from Eugene Peterson is included to acclimate readers to this form.

Your faith will be strengthened and your soul encouraged.

Most people have lost a sense of destiny, God's will for their lives. Many even believe you just can't know God's will - that in His sovereignty, He will make it happen regardless of what you do. Too long this viewpoint has kept Christians from knowing the full potential He planned for them. But no more. God created you with a specific purpose, and the good new is, He wants you to find it.

Just knowing God's will, however, isn't enough. You need to understand the part you play if you're going to follow it. You might be surprised to learn it involves following the desires of your heart. But before you set off, make sure you're able to distinguish His will from your own selfish desires.

One of the most important lessons of all is that you can't fulfill God's will any way you want. His strength and timing, and your obedience and patience are just a few of the things it takes. This book explains all this and much more.

An unabridged edition, to include: Law of Reversibility - Dual Nature of Consciousness - Imagination & Faith - Controlled Reverie - Good Tidings - Law of Thought Transmission - The Greatest Prayer

J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.

Dr. Billy Graham says in the "Words of Wisdom" foreword, "The Psalms tell us how to get along with God, and the Proverbs tell us how to get along with our fellow man." As has long been Dr. Graham's personal practice, "Words of Wisdom" makes it easy for anyone to read five Psalms and a chapter from Proverbs each day for 31 days. This beautiful LeatherLike gift edition offers a convenient, easy-to-understand, and enjoyable way to discover how these ancient words deliver valuable life principles. King David wrote many of the Psalms, often with the passion of a worshiper and the anxiety of a 21st-century person, while dealing with everyday tensions. His son Solomon, largely known for his wisdom, wrote the wisdom literature of the Proverbs. In these nearly 3,000-year-old sacred writings, we hear the voices and counsel of those who knew God intimately. Let "Words of Wisdom" encourage you with divine hope and affirmation for living the life God has planned for you.
