Why prayer? Prayer is an expression of needs and faith, but also a
way to build a long-lasting relationship with God. In this third
volume of Faithful in Prayer, David Williamson shares a series of
articles that encourage prayer that, with God's answers, can
transform the seemingly impossible into something very possible.
Williamson is a regular speaker on prayer and Christian living
and through personal anecdotes and applicable scripture leads
others through the foundation of faith, ways to build faith for
effective prayer, and how to make a stand through prayer. Intended
to motivate others to think and dream big, Williamson's articles
teach specifically how to:
Believe God over the evidence Deal with unforgiveness Protect
the heart to keep out doubt Be bold in prayer and allow God to work
Live how He says we should live
God is calling for men and women to join with Him in the work
through prayer and action. Prayer: A Force That Causes Change
provides the encouragement, empowerment, and grace so that others
can be successful in prayer.
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
(NKJV)
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.
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.

understanding of the whole of the prayers in God's Book, including
the most common words in biblical praying. These volumes will help

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.

His closest disciple, Reb Noson, began to do so. One by one he
penned his prayers, which became the Likutey Tefilot (?Collected
Prayers?), a unique work of deeply inspiring prayers and examples
of how you can fulfill Rebbe Nachman's suggestion to turn Torah
into prayer. For many, however, the lengthy and mystical prayers of
Likutey Tefilot seem inaccessible. The Flame of the Heart opens
this profound spiritual text to anyone who seeks to enrich their
own prayer practice. In this inspiring devotional, selected
excerpts of Likutey Tefilot have been arranged thematically,
allowing the reader to incorporate the words of Reb Noson into
every aspect of daily life.
