Have you ever wanted to pray for your children but been unsure of what or how to pray? Whether it's for their salvation, for them to live a godly life and stand firm in what they believe, or for them to stay pure, what better way to pray than using God's Word? All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV).
For nearly twenty years, the beloved Guide to Prayer books have been sought after and used by thousands who hunger for God. Readers appreciate the simple structure of daily worship, the rich spiritual writings, the lectionary guidelines, and poignant prayers have all contributed to the long-lasting need for these rich resources. Now Rueben P. Job and Norman Shawchuck offer a third volume, A Guide to Prayer for All Who Seek God. Like its predecessors, this Guide offers a daily pattern for those seeking a rhythm of devotion and personal worship. A Guide to Prayer for All Who Seek God follows the Christian year and the lectionary readings. Each day offers guidance for an opening affirmation, a petition of prayer, and daily scripture selections. The Readings for Reflection reach back to early Christian classics and include voices from recently published works. Excerpts come from writers such as Frederick Buechner, Joyce Rupp, Henri Nouwen, Mother Teresa, Howard Thurman, C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Wesley, and many others. These excerpts are arranged in weekly themes. Job and Shawchuck also include spiritually grounded explanations of the seasons of the church year to introduce each section of the book. This deluxe edition includes Bible binding, a ribbon bookmark, round corners, gold edges, and a leather-like cover in emerald green.
You feel as if the world is closing in on you. You have trouble in your relationships. You have a nagging something in your mind, but you can't quite name it and it won't go away. You have trouble with anger. You wonder what your purpose in life is. You have faith and hope that come from your religious journey, but they seem to be waning. Some days any or all of these gang up on you. Who can help you? Where do you turn? Is there someone who can help you to make sense of it all? These questions and more are the very content of honest prayer. Your most trusted friend is the one who made you. Our creator is available to sustain and guide us on the whole journey of life. In the ups, downs, and in betweens, Spirit is present to uphold. Prayer is the connection point of our present circumstance to the One who provides hope and meaning. In Morning Glory and Evening Grace, the prayers are an expression of daily life. They come from the heart and soul and are offered to a God who desires to know and help us. Use them to inspire your own expression of authentic faith.
Prayer is effective when we observe biblical proceedings and respect the laws of God; it is warfare against the enemy of our life and destiny. Curses can be defeated and destroyed when we submit ourselves to scriptural truth. Seeking solutions to matters that are curse-oriented demands that one engage the enemy involved in warfare. Wars cannot be fought to finish instantly without major preparations, and the enemy cannot be defeated or destroyed without effective strategies. For those facing this type of conflict "Strategic Deliverance Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral Curses" contains the essentials for a rewarding prayer life. Dr. Pauline Walley-Daniels informs, trains, and equips God's army before marching us off to spiritual wars. She writes to the heart of the matter in this guide, based upon the study of the book of Esther from the Bible. She explores the meaning and the impact of curses and considers how to break and uproot curses in the realm of warfare and confrontation. "Strategic Deliverance Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral Curses" explains how to trace the root, and source of affliction. It also teaches on how to undertake a solution-oriented mission in order to conquer the problem.
THIS BOOK is based on the dialogue between the Shulamite Maiden and the Bridegroom in the Song of Solomon and is written as a devotional book with a verse-by-verse dialogue of the writer's conversations with God. The author invites you to peer into her intimate dialogues with God, and as you do so, you may find yourself opening your heart to receive what God is saying to you. Then, when you turn the Scripture into personal prayer, recording in your own journal the secret longings and prayers of your heart as well as the things that God says to you, you may find to your amazement that God is "crazy in love with you" and passionately pursuing you as a lover of God. Embracing the love of the Bridegroom for yourself, you discover the joy of embarking on your own enjoyable journey to the high places of intimacy with God, your love relationship with God ignited into passionate desire for His presence
?Divine Entreaty is a great resource for all who are called upon to offer prayer for gatherings that include people from diverse backgrounds. The prayers written by Dr. Menz provide us with sensitivity training and show that he is both a verbal artist and philosopher. Suellen Mazurowski, JD; Hilton Head, SC Teach us to pray? was the elementary request of the first disciples of Jesus. Yet their desire is a universal one; a spiritual longing at the heart of persons of all religions and cultures. In this remarkable little volume Dr. Menz captures both the complexity of cultural sensitivity and also the commonality of public prayer. This is a resource for both guiding those who are called upon to articulate a prayer in our diverse world and encouraging business and civic leaders who feel the need for the prayers of the people to be voiced.? ?James Gebhart, PhD, clinical psychologist; Columbus, Ohio ?Bob Menz and I have a friendship that goes back twenty-plus years revolving around human resource conferences and issues. Bob has shared prayers with people for decades and I would like to thank him for giving others a place to begin as we seek communication with our Creator.?Bill Henry, human resources manager; Ava, Missouri ?We live and work in a culturally, religiously, and spiritually diverse world. For those of us who are challenged by issues of diversity every day, Dr. Menz's volume, Divine Entreaty, is a welcome resource calling our attention to the necessity of inclusiveness. Both the famous prayers of the past and those for public and diverse settings will enlighten your own sense of oneness with humanity. Carl Kyle, DMin, board-certified chaplain; Jacksonville, Florida Divine Entreaty offers a collection of inclusive prayers for leadership in civic, business, education, politics, ministry, and other disciplines to adopt or modify when communities seek to clarify their purpose and capture the moment.
Many people are confused by Prayer. Does prayer bring God to me? Is Prayer a means of grace? Is it a pipeline of communication between a believer and God? Is it better to pray more? Through the eyes of this pastoral scholar, readers discover that prayer is based not on what the believer does, but on God's mercy. In the mercy, prayer is designed to help Christians transcend problems and troubles by hearing God through His Word and Sacraments. Readers learn how prayers from the Bible teach the Christian about prayer's place in the daily piety of the believer. |
