God, God Almighty, God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, God
the Beginning and the End, God the Source of all that is, God the
Creator of man—the same God, in all His power and all His majesty,
stops and listens when you pray. God has given humanity the ability to
bring heaven to earth.
Whether you know it or not, you have the authority to change the world
through prayer. When God said, “Let mankind rule over all the earth,”
He was arranging the dominion of the world so that the partnership of
mankind was essential for the accomplishment of His purposes. Through
his unique perspective on this often-misunderstood subject,
best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe takes the mystery out of prayer,
providing practical answers for difficult questions about communicating
with God.
All that God is—and all that God has—may be received through prayer.
Everything you need to fulfill your purpose on earth is available to
you through prayer. The biblically based, time-tested principles in
this book will ignite and transform the way you pray. Be prepared to
enter into a new dimension of faith, a deeper revelation of God’s love,
and a renewed understanding that your prayers can truly move the hand
of God.
This expanded edition includes study questions for individual or small
group use.
Links film history with church history over the past century,
illuminating America's broader relationship with religious currents
over time Moments of prayer have been represented in Hollywood
movies since the silent era, appearing unexpectedly in films as
diverse as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Frankenstein, Amistad, Easy
Rider, Talladega Nights, and Alien 3, as well as in religiously
inspired classics such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. Here,
Terry Lindvall examines how films have reflected, and sometimes
sought to prescribe, ideas about how one ought to pray. He surveys
the landscape of those films that employ prayer in their
narratives, beginning with the silent era and moving through the
uplifting and inspirational movies of the Great Depression and
World War II, the cynical, anti-establishment films of the 60s and
70s, and the sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters of today. Lindvall
considers how the presentation of cinematic prayer varies across
race, age, and gender, and places the use of prayer in film in
historical context, shedding light on the religious currents at
play during those time periods. God on the Big Screen demonstrates
that the way prayer is presented in film during each historical
period tells us a great deal about America's broader relationship
with religion.
If prayer has ever felt frustrating, complicated, laborious or
even useless to you, this book has the potential to give you a
fresh perspective on the heart of prayer. The author shares her
experience of crying out, "Lord, teach me to pray " and the Holy
Spirit's response to her cries. Included are six lessons about the
principles of prayer and the author's gained insight into why
prayer is a necessity; the very heartbeat of a believer. These
insights can move you into a place of simplicity and rest in prayer
and reveal that prayer is not something you do, but rather someone
you become; a pray-er.
