How Do You Make Each Day of Your Brief Life Count? Tim Keesee spent
years crisscrossing the globe, documenting the gospel's advance in
regions of war and persecution through his writing and films. But
double blows from terminal cancer diagnoses in 2019 and 2021
brought his travels to a halt. In A Day's Journey, Tim takes up his
pen to write dispatches from a smaller, more intimate world. He
writes of Christian brothers and sisters who have taught him so
much about a day well spent: the way they work and worship, the way
they pray and sing, the way they love their neighbors and their
enemies, even when beaten black and blue for the sake of Christ. In
this book you'll have the privilege to walk with Tim through days
of pain and hard questions, but also days of grace, wonder, and
death-defying joy. Poignant, inspiring, and beautifully written,
these stories model the courage we need, the joy we have, the
gospel we love, the cross we bear, and the hope we embrace until
faith becomes sight.
The Hour That Changes the World, first published by Baker in 1978,
is a classic book on prayer that offers practical suggestions on
how readers can revitalize their prayer lives. Dick Eastman
challenges Christians to spend one hour each day in prayer, and he
outlines a twelve-step prayer program to help them accomplish the
task.
By dividing one hour into twelve five-minute "points of focus,"
such as praise, waiting, confession, and Scripture praying,
believers will develop a more consistent habit of daily prayer. The
Hour That Changes the World draws heavily on Scripture and classic
devotional writers and includes an appendix titled "Scriptural
Intercession."
This 25th anniversary edition features a new introduction by
Eastman and a new foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada, in which she
writes: "The Hour That Changes the World may appear small and
modest, but don't let its size fool you. Full of biblical insights
about prayer, packed with testimonies of prayer warriors from years
past, brimming with practical suggestions that will help you carve
out a purposeful time of praise and intercession, Dick Eastman's
book is arguably the most significant book on prayer written in
modern times."
Bad things can (and do) happen to good people. Sometimes difficult
circumstances are the natural result of our own choices, but other
times they stem from someone else's bad behavior. Either way, God
is calling Christians to move beyond adversity and live a
victorious life that brings glory to His name. Can we overcome our
debilitating emotions? Can we rise above our overwhelming
circumstances? Steve Mays insists that we can and must, with the
power of the Holy Spirit. Mays helps readers deal with
discouragement, fear, depression, hostility, and worry and invites
them to build character by overcoming distraction, selfishness, and
weakness. Finally, he shows readers how to grow by teaching them
how to deal with criticism, jealousy, irresponsibility, and
suffering.
