Most Christians have experienced the "laundry list" phase of
spiritual life, in which praying means giving God an agenda of
needs to handle. But how do you move to having real conversation
with God? How do you hear what God is saying back to you? How can
you make your experience of God's presence part of everyday life?
In this six-session LifeGuide(R) Bible Study, Jan Johnson covers

deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God in
everything you do. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies

Learn to listen for the voice of the One who loves you most.
God is not silent. We know that He speaks to His people. Throughout the
pages of Scripture, He guides, instructs, corrects, and encourages. But
what does He say to you? How does He say it? How can you know when
you’ve heard Him?
Hearing His Voice is a beautiful 90-day devotional to help you discover
patterns and practices you can adopt to hear God better, illustrated
with beautiful color art. If we listen, He will speak—and His words are
powerful and life-changing.

When you can't find the right words to pray... In hard times, many
of us shy away from God, not sure how to talk to him about what
we're feeling. Through her own battles, Suzie Eller has experienced
the peace of knowing that prayer is not about the number of words
that come out of your mouth or how eloquent you sound. It's about
being in God's presence. When you can't figure out what to say to
him, these 90 prayer starters will begin the conversation you've
been longing for. Each one is birthed from a specific Scripture,
and on each page, journaling space is provided so you can complete
the prayer in your own words or simply write what you're feeling.
Don't let your hurts, fears, or doubts keep you from freely talking
to God. He loves you and wants to hear what's on your heart.
"Connect with God in ways you've always hoped for but haven't been
sure how to make happen."--HOLLEY GERTH, bestselling author
A step-by-step guide to calling on the Fourteen Holy Helpers for
healing, success, guidance, and love * Shares modern updated
versions of the medieval prayers of the Holy Helpers, one prayer
for each of the 14 saints and one prayer to call on all of them
together * Explains how, even though these 14 saints are connected
to Catholic belief, they are universal in their powers of
assistance and will come to the aid of anyone who calls on them *
Recommends a healing stone to enhance the effect of each prayer and
explains how to use the prayers to create protective amulets for
you and your home and write a letter of invocation for love and
success The art of invocation--calling on spirits and higher forces
for assistance--has been practiced in folk magic traditions for
centuries, with roots going back to early pagan and shamanic times.
Called on for more than 1,000 years, the Fourteen Holy Helpers are
a group of Catholic saints venerated together because their
intercession has been shown to be particularly effective in
difficult times. Although they are part of the Christian tradition,
these spiritual helpers are universal in their powers of assistance
and will come to the aid of anyone who calls on them. In this guide
to invoking the Fourteen Holy Helpers, Christiane Stamm presents
modern updated versions of the medieval prayers of the Holy
Helpers, which were transmitted to her directly from the spirit
world. She explains how, even though these 14 saints are connected
to Catholic belief, their invoked powers connect to the original
energies dwelling within humans and the Earth and calling on them
works as a form of natural magic. She shares short biographies of
each saint and details how to access their powers of healing and
protection through writing out and reciting their specific prayers
during the full moon. The author shares 15 prayers--one for each
Holy Helper, used to support healing for specific ailments or
issues, and one prayer that is especially powerful because it calls
on all 14 Helpers together. For each prayer she recommends a
healing stone that can be added to further enhance the effect. The
author also explains how to use the prayers to create protective
amulets for you and your home and write a letter of invocation for
love and success. Offering a step-by-step method to call for
spiritual assistance, this book helps us realize the profound power
of prayer and belief and reveals how magic still exists in our
modern world.
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.

So what is the point of intercession, anyway? Author Tricia
Rhodes defines intercession in vivid terms-"to stand in the gap
between God and needy people, our hearts bonded to theirs as we
plead their case in prayer, regardless of what they have done or
haven't done to deserve God's intervention." Moses did it and saved
the Israelites from God's wrath. Stephen interceded for those who
stoned him. Paul prayed for countless Christians and non-believers
alike. And we see intercession most extravagantly displayed through
Jesus Christ, who walked the earth a friend of sinners.
Tricia declares, "We are never more like Christ than when we
connect with others in their pain or their sin and choose to bear
their burdens in prayer. Intercession is simple, yet profound."
Offering easy-to-grasp tools and truths, Intimate Intercession will
show the reader how to know and to pray God's heart. Each chapter
is divided into segments that provide a biblical basis,
inspirational thoughts, and personal devotional exercises that will

intimacy with Him.

Prayer is a central aspect of religion. Even amongst those who have
abandoned organized religion levels of prayer remain high. Yet the
most basic questions remain unaddressed: What exactly is prayer?
How does it vary? Why do people pray and in what situations and
settings? Does prayer imply a god, and if so, what sort? A
Sociology of Prayer addresses these fundamental questions and opens
up important new debates. Drawing from religion, sociology of
religion, anthropology, and historical perspectives, the
contributors focus on prayer as a social as well as a personal
matter and situate prayer in the conditions of complex late modern
societies worldwide. Presenting fresh empirical data in relation to
original theorising, the volume also examines the material aspects
of prayer, including the objects, bodies, symbols, and spaces with
which it may be integrally connected.
