It's a timeless prayer that produces timely results Bruce Wilkinson

genealogies in an audacious, fourpart prayer that brings him an
extraordinary measure of divine favor, anointing, and protection.

will find themselves extravagantly blessed by God, and agents of
His miraculous power, in everyday life.

Story Behind the Book
When "The Prayer of Jabez" first released in 2000 and sold nine
million copies in two years, Bruce Wilkinson's mailbox was flooded
with countless personal stories of answered prayer. God's mighty
hand was using the prayer to change lives in both small and
dramatic ways. Such undeniable testimonies make it impossible to
ignore God's presence, active and alive today This repack meets the

Thomas Keating was a Cistercian monk who founded the worldwide
'Contemplative Outreach', teaching people the art of meditation.
Invitation to Love provides a road map for the journey that begins
when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken. Pointing to some of
the recognizable landmarks on this journey, as well as to its
ultimate destination, Father Keating addresses common questions
regarding contemplative practice: How will it affect my life? Where
does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will I encounter along
the way? How does it work? Following on from Open Mind, Open Heart,
this book establishes a dialogue between the insights of
contemporary psychology and the classic Christian spiritual
masters, providing a solid conceptual background for the practice
of Centering Prayer. This is a practical book, articulating the
stages of the process of spiritual growth, and outlining how we
might develop a deeper relationship with God and move from
contemplation to action.

God does not want you to be sick. Health and healing continue to be
areas of great need for people everywhere. People across the globe
have been healed through modern medicine, doctors, and surgery, yet
thousands still suffer with incurable diseases to the point of
death.
God's Word has specific promises for believers regarding
healing. In this life-transforming message, How to Live and Not
Die, Norvel Hayes reveals just how important it is to the heavenly
Father that His children walk in divine health.
Finding Your Hidden Treasure by Benignus O'Rourke is a
contemplative path inwards, to the depths of your own being.
Through silent prayer and meditation, and by discovering this
ancient way of finding God, O'Rourke provides insight and guidance
for your spiritual journey. He then outlines a practical approach,
moving from silence to action, and explains how to take God's love
to others in everyday life.
When sickness strikes, people around the world pray for healing.
Many of the faithful claim that prayer has cured them of blindness,
deafness, and metastasized cancers, and some believe they have been
resurrected from the dead. Can, and should, science test such
claims? A number of scientists say no, concerned that empirical
studies of prayer will be misused to advance religious agendas. And
some religious practitioners agree with this restraint, worrying
that scientific testing could undermine faith. In Candy Gunther
Brown's view, science cannot prove prayer's healing power, but what
scientists can and should do is study prayer's measurable effects
on health. If prayer produces benefits, even indirectly (and
findings suggest that it does), then more careful attention to
prayer practices could impact global health, particularly in places
without access to conventional medicine. Drawing on data from
Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians, Brown reverses a number of
stereotypes about believers in faith-healing. Among them is the
idea that poorer, less educated people are more likely to believe
in the healing power of prayer and therefore less likely to see
doctors. Brown finds instead that people across socioeconomic
backgrounds use prayer alongside conventional medicine rather than
as a substitute. Dissecting medical records from before and after
prayer, surveys of prayer recipients, prospective clinical trials,
and multiyear follow-up observations and interviews, she shows that
the widespread perception of prayer's healing power has
demonstrable social effects, and that in some cases those effects
produce improvements in health that can be scientifically verified.
