Book Description
The Complete Edition Prayer is essential to the life of faith. In this superb book, based on Pope Benedict's weekly teaching, he examines the foundational principles of the life of prayer. Believers of various backgrounds and experience in prayer-from beginners to spiritually advanced-will be enriched by this spiritual masterpiece. Benedict begins considering what we can learn from the examples of prayer found in a wide range of cultures and eras. Next, he turns to the Bible's teaching about prayer, beginning with Abraham and moving though Moses, the prophets, the Psalms to the example of Jesus. With Jesus Christ, Pope Benedict considers not only the Lord's teaching about prayer, but also his example of how to pray, including the Our Father, his prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, and prayers on the Cross. The prayers of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the early Church are also explored. Benedict also draws on insights from spiritual masters, the saints, and the Church's liturgy. He challenges readers to live their relationships with God "even more intensely, as it were, at a ಘschool of prayer'." Although Benedict provides a sweeping survey of great figures of prayer, his discussion centers on Jesus Christ and even invokes him in the study of prayer. "It is in fact in Jesus," writes Benedict, "that man becomes able to approach God in the depth and intimacy of the relationship of fatherhood and sonship. Together with the first disciples, let us now turn with humble trust to the Teacher and ask him: ಘLord, teach us to pray' (Lk 11:1)."

Book Description
Once our children begin school, time with them is greatly decreased and other people begin to influence their lives. It is one of the most crucial times for us to be intentional in discipling our children. But how do we do it? And when can we do it with our busy schedules?We disciple our children by reading the Bible, discussing how to apply it to our lives and then praying together for God to continue to make us more like Him. Praying with Your Kids Before School will guide you to do just that each day of the school year. You don't have to start in August, you just have to start. Remember, prayer changes us. Prayer brings us closer to God and each other by growing in our understanding of scripture and asking Him to help us to apply it to our lives. The sooner we bring this discipline into our homes, the sooner God can guide us how to disciple our children in the way they should go.Each week has a theme to explore in the Bible that can be prayerfully applied to you and your child's lives. Every verse is also paraphrased into an easier understanding for younger children, with a shorter prayer for them to recite, so that the book can be used on both older and younger children. At the end of each chapter there will be a blank page where you can write out a personal prayer related to the topic for your child. This book becomes not only a guide on how to disciple your child, but a precious keepsake of how you've prayed for them and how God answered your prayers for your child throughout the year.This one discipline, that can renew our minds, change our attitudes and impact our behaviors and decisions. If we are faithful to spend these few minutes with God in prayer, we can be transformed together to become stronger and to become more of who God wants us to be. One verse, one prayer just might change the trajectory of their lives!

Book Description
This book offers an examination of the related topics of school prayer and character education in the United States, advocating for their return to public schools. According to William Jeynes, the lack of both school prayer and consistent moral instruction in our schools has had devastating consequences both for our education system and for the nation as a whole. In A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools, Jeynes makes a compelling case for restoring moral instruction and nonspecific religious moments to the classroom as a way of restoring a much needed moral grounding in American society in general. A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools traces the history of character education in the public schools, including coverage of leading advocates of their inclusion from Thomas Jefferson to DeWitt Clinton to Horace Mann. Jeynes then offers a broad survey of the country since the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963, asserting that most of America's greatest problems are moral in nature, and could be addressed by making moral instruction and a focus on the spiritual a part of our young citizens' school lives.
