is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and
practice unconditional love. Whether your marriage is hanging by a

to take. It's time to learn the keys to finding true intimacy and
developing a dynamic marriage. Take the dare!
"The Goodly Word: Al-Kalim al-Tayyib"-written by the renowned
fourteenth century jurist, Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya-is one of the most
referred to works on prayer and the merits of prayer. Exclusively
based on what the Prophet Muhammad himself said and did, "The
Goodly Word" includes prayers for every moment of the Muslim's
life. It is presented in a bi-lingual edition so that the exact
prayers of the Prophet can be read in the original Arabic. "The
Goodly Word" has been translated into English by the late Ezzeddin
Ibrahim and Denys Johnson-Davies, two distinguished scholars who
have also translated "An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith" and "Forty Hadith
Qudsi", both published by the Islamic Texts Society.
Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in
the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Adapting his successful Steps
to Freedom in Christ, Dr. Neil Anderson has provided an alternative
model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers--a model that
has also freed hundreds of thousands struggling with other kinds of
addictions. But the devil doesn't give up easily. So to further
help recovering addicts still struggling with temptation, there is
the One Day at a Time devotional. Here are inspirational readings
that reinforce the Steps to Freedom and encourage those on the road
to recovery. This product is for those who want to break free from
a debilitating lifestyle of addiction, and for pastors and
counselors to use with their clients.
Women who are facing the reality of widowhood are often connected
by a common thread of grief and uncertainty. "Hope for an Aching
Heart" offers encouragement to help readers handle the challenges
of each day with God's grace. Sharing from a widow's heart, the
author weaves personal stories, Scripture, and prayers into 60 days
of inspirational thoughts that motivate readers to draw closer to
God. This heartfelt and engaging devotional helps to broaden
women's understanding of the depth of God's love, His tender care,
and His promise to always be with them.
Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual
master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more
accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the
remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of
life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and
differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers
which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a
most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life
within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn
'Arabi's prayers have been published in another language. This
particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been
revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen
prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not
only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion
to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union
(tawhid). As the translators show in their introduction, the very
structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn
'Arabi the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are
presented with notes and appendices.

2013 Reprint of 1952 Newman Press Second Edition. Exact facsimile
of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition
Software. This is one of the great classical medieval English works
of devotion. Little is known of the author except that she was a
recluse who lived in a cell attached to the church of St. Julian at
Norwich. In 1373 she received sixteen private revelations from the
Lord, dealing with his Passion, the truths of the Faith and the
advancement of her own spiritual life. The work reveals a mind that
has penetrated deeply to the mysteries of the Catholic religion,
both on its doctrinal and its personal sides. Julian of Norwich was
a very spiritual, devout soul, deeply sensitive to the beauty of
holiness and centered wholeheartedly on the love and service of
God. Although the work attracted little attention when it first
appeared, it has since become one of the most famous books dealing
with divine communications ever written.
People tell us it is too late to warn of dangers, too late to give
the final message to the world, too late to expect others to
respond to the pleadings of the Word of God as are presented to
them. Oh my friends, it is not too late. We must strive and urge
and plead and warn until the very day that probation ends for
mankind. We are to live the Enoch life This is our commission. And
this is a twofold work: to develop a character of righteousness by
living a life of personal purity and pleading with God and to teach
a lesson of godliness by kindly acts and warning and pleading with
men.
