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.
God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules;
he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says
top-selling author D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that
spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. By
following Paul's example, we can do the same. This book calls
believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by
embracing a God-guided approach to prayer. Previously published as
A Call to Spiritual Reformation, this book has now been updated to
connect more effectively with contemporary readers. A study guide,
DVD, and leader's kit for the book are available through Lifeway
and The Gospel Coalition.
Talk about Prayer is an experiment in writing ethnography, a
commentary on a conversation with Mama Regine Tshitanda, the leader
of a Charismatic prayer group (groupe de priere) in Lubumbashi
(Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo) and members of her
family in 1986.
"Biblical Principles of Prayer" challenges you to experience new
levels of prayer that will affect every area of your life. Living a
life conducive to receiving--means laying aside personal desires
and egotistical values that are in direct contrast with His will.
The church that prays--There are about 25,000 denominations--every
one of them believing that they have the right answer and the most
accurate hermeneutics. Prayer and the "Bible"--the pioneers of
modern science--modern science is thousands of years behind when it
comes to the issue of health. The issue of prayer in
school--Christians are quick to jump on the "prayer in school"
bandwagon, but do you really want it back as it was? "Biblical
Principles of Prayer" will compel you to revisit the way you pray.
It will show you how to have dunamis (dynamite) power in your
prayers. Have you ever wanted to be a pray-er who really sees
results? Dr. Church, who in 1998 was healed from a very rare type
of cancer, understands what it means to appreciate authoritative
prayer. Buzz words and powerless mechanical discourses are of
little value when you are facing death.
This book helps to explain why God sometimes bears long with His
elect, it articulates God's purpose in the wait, expounds on how
justice involves both restoration and restitution, and ignites
faith to believe God to avenge us of our adversary. Not only is
this message fresh from Bob's heart, we believe it is a message
that is especially relevant to the body of Christ in this final
hour.
In the Lord I Take Refuge invites readers to experience the Psalms
in a new and refreshing way, featuring devotional content written
by Dane Ortlund.
Prayer changes things. It is a stress-reliever. It's a
chain-breaker. It's a peace-bringer, and it's necessary for every
child of God no matter their age or experience. Throughout history,
women have been especially powerful in taking up the mantle of
prayer. It is largely the prayers of women that establish the
spiritual sanctuary of their family. Praying women warriors fight
against oppression and injustice. Their prayers defend the innocent
and the untrained. And through their prayers they are seen as
shining examples in the darkness of the world. This journal gives
you the space to write out your prayers and note how they are
answered. It will give you a place to continue your progressive
march of empowerment by dreaming like your daughters and praying
like your grandmothers.
Each and every prayer in the Bible is now available, together
and categorized. God's Book of Prayers and The Lord's Prayers both
contain all the prayers of the Bible. God's Book of Prayers
separates each into nine categories for convenient reading, while
The Lord's Prayers lists them in biblical sequence, with an
exhaustive concordance of major words or phrases. Both versions
have some elementary analysis of all the prayers for better
understanding of the whole of the prayers in God's Book, including
the most common words in biblical praying. These volumes will help
you to easily be able to pray God's own words
Down through the centuries, people of faith have known that prayer
has many languages, and not all of them have words. Here in Prayer
of the HeART, readers will learn to use art as a way to open up a
deep conversation with God. This book is not about "art" in the
sense of making pretty pictures, or even about expressing an
experience of God. Rather it opens readers to new possibilities.
The art they create here is the visual result of an experience with
God through visual imaging. Those who use this technique invite God
to be the director, writer, and artist of their hearts as they are
introduced to the concept of "heart spirituality." Prayer of the
HeART is a wonderful exploration- for both the experienced artist
and the novice- of the role of creativity in the life of prayer.
Readers will find a variety of drawing techniques and media, and
ways of dialoguing with the images they create. Each chapter,
developed around a theme, features a visual exercise and a way to
journey deeper into the heart of God.
