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.
Leading the Congregation is a complete and definitive guide to the
practice of church leadership. The book describes essential
paradigms for the leader that integrate spiritual integrity and
service within a "systems" view of the congregation and its
ministry. This revised and updated version focuses on the
challenges of congregational leadership in a culture that has fewer
ties to Christian faith. The authors lay out the dual contexts in
which church leaders must function within the congregation, and as
the congregation s representative to the community and they explain
the very different skill sets required to flourish in each.
Underlying the revised edition is an insistence on the
congregational leader s call from God, and cultivation of her or
his relationship with God. Leadership is not the same thing as
charisma, they explain; it is rather a set of attitudes and
practices that each of us can and must master if we are to be
worthy servants of Christ. "
