THE ARMORY: Equipping Warriors of the Faith is a collection of more
than 80 daily devotions with the theme of spiritual warfare. Author
Andrew Boll explores how Christians are called on a daily basis to
guard their own hearts against the darkness of temptation and doubt
while striking out with the Sword of the Spirit - the Word of God -
to free those who have been imprisoned by sin and unbelief.
In this book, popular author James W. Moore talks about the power
of a story, such as those told by Jesus in the Bible. The author
recalls, "I would be sitting there in the sanctuary of our church,
doing what young boys do in church, drawing pictures on the back of
the bulletin, working puzzles, looking constantly at Granny's
watch, wishing the seconds hand would move faster, daydreaming
about sports, kicking my feet in the air impatiently, counting the
organ pipes . . . And then, the preacher would start telling a
story, and I was hooked. He had my full attention. I couldn't wait
to hear the story!" Jesus knew the importance of telling stories to
convey a message or a Biblical truth and used this technique often
when speaking or ministering to others throughout the Bible in the
form of parables. Stories are a natural way to give detail and
perspective while teaching an important point.
Prayers for opening and closing the work meetings of faith groups.
The author defines prayer as reverent attention to the mysteries of
life. Hence these prayers are for thoughtful people of all
traditions--from Humanist to Hindu, Buddhist to Christian, and
more--who work together in a faith community or faith setting. Tips
and suggestions are offered for successfully tailoring these to
your setting. Prayers are grouped in four categories: 1) Prayers
for Sharing Hearts--Opening and closing reflections with spaces for
participants to share what's on their hearts; 2) Longer
Reflections--Services designed for deeper sharing; 3) Benedictions
& Prayers--Short texts for special occasions and times when
heart-sharing won't be done; 4) Readings & Poems--supplemental
texts.
