At one time or another, every Christian goes through a period which
is referred to as a "desert experience"-a time when they feel
forsaken by God, in doubt about what God would have them do, a
period of darkness of the soul. Many, during those times, feel they
are alone in this experience, but this thought-provoking book shows
readers that they are not alone-that in fact, many well-known
Christians have been there also. Featuring personal testimonies
from each contributor, "The Desert Experience" offers readers
encouragement and valuable lessons from those who have made it
through the "desert"-lessons of hope, humility, goodwill, and the
sovereignty of God -all lessons necessary for the maturing of a
Christian.
Readers are challenged with the simple but profound question: What
would happen-how would your life be different-if you committed the
next year to learning about prayer and devoting time to prayer
every single day? A Daybook on Prayer weaves together poignant
meditations from classic and contemporary Christian writers with
powerful Bible verses, directed prayers, and personal
prayer-starters, to create a life-changing resource for those who
want to draw closer to the heart of God. The daily selections are
drawn from many of the greatest historical and modern teachers on
the subject of prayer, including Augustine, Thomas A Kempis, Martin
Luther, Brother Andrew, John Wesley, A.W. Tozer, Andrew Murray,
Oswald Chambers, Billy Graham, Charles Swindoll, Max Lucado, and
many others.
This is the ideal book for anyone who feels they need to reacquaint
themselves with their faith, to re-establish a firmer relationship
with God and to reap the rewards of praying. Split into thematic
sections, the books provides prayers of thanks and praise, prayers
for healing, for forgiveness, for peace and for guidance and
strength. Including some famous, but all invaluable, prayers - from
"The Lord's Prayer" to "Psalms 23: 1-6", this beautiful illustrated
collection is an inspiration and a comfort.
"The Work of Day and Night" (Amal al-yawm wa'l-layla) was written
by Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti as a guide to correct conduct and
worship in accordance with the example of the Prophet and the Pious
Predecessors. Translated into English by Rashad Jameer, "The Work
of Day and Night" contains some of the most beautiful prayers in
Islamic devotional literature, and Suyuti has provided guidance for
nearly every situation that one is likely to encounter day-to-day.
In it the reader will find: the prayers said upon awakening, before
eating and when dressing; the acts carried out at various times of
the day and between prayers; and much else. A special section is
dedicated to prayers that are recommended for reading at times of
need due to their widely recognised protective qualities. "The Work
of Day and Night" is invaluable for learning the Sunna of the
Prophet and integrating it into one's life, as Suyuti took great
care to explain precisely how to perform each of the daily
practices in accordance with the example of the Prophet
Muhammad.---It is hoped that this bilingual volume of "The Work of
Day and Night" will enable a wider English-speaking audience to
access one of the treasures of traditional Islamic knowledge and
practice, and that it will provide Muslim readers with a source of
inspiration in everyday life. A selection of the most beautiful and
useful prayers has been transliterated and included in an appendix
so that all worshippers may benefit by reciting them-regardless of
Arabic ability. There is also a glossary of the most important
religious terms.
The Pursuit of God is the enduring Christian classic written by
renowned pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer. More than 65 years
later, the words Tozer penned on a train from Illinois to Texas
echo across the decades to resonate with power in the heart of
anyone longing for a deeper experience with God. This devotional
masterpiece is at once thought-provoking and spirit-enlivening, an
invitation to think deeply about your faith even as you come alive
to God's presence surrounding, sustaining and--yes--pursuing you.
"This book is a modest attempt," Tozer wrote, "to aid God's
children so to find Him." If you are hungry, The Pursuit of God
will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul.
