'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.

800 promises from the Word of God with biblical answers to almost
every spiritual and personal problem encountered today. The
promises are categorized to speak to specific situations for quick
reference. Find hope and the knowledge of God's abundant grace
through reading God's promises, one after another. Your faith will

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

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.
