Book Description
God presents Himself in the Bible as being open and interested in hearing whatever concerns His children (James 5:13; 1 Pet. 5:7). He wants to hear whatever interests us, even the smallest, most insignificant details of our lives. Consequently, we should feel free to unburden our hearts and tell God anything and everything. He is, after all, the friend who sticks closer than a brother. Why do we not feel at liberty to converse with Him just as casually and comfortably as we would with our most intimate acquaintance? To address this important phenomenon of talking to God, I felt the leading of the Lord to confront the matter of getting answers to our prayers. Unless you are a Pharisee standing in the marketplace, no one prays just to hear himself praying or to receive glory from man. No one prays not to receive a response. No one asks, not expecting to receive. Rather, prayers are prayed to be acknowledged and answered. Especially prayers without ceasing are made for responses, acknowledgment, and answers, without ceasing. Time and maturity have taught me that to pray without ceasing basically refers to recurring prayer, not nonstop talking. Thus, it is to be our way of life, as we should be continually in an attitude of prayer.

Book Description
Statistics have shown that nine out of ten Americans pray and 95 percent believe their prayers are answered. And in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the word "prayer" has been on everyone's lips as millions seek to deal with the enormity of the tragedy. In The Path of Prayerbeloved spiritual writer Sophy Burnham reminds us that all over the world people pray. There is no one way to perform this innately human act, which in its most ordinary form is quite simply a yearning of the heart embodied in our hopes, thoughts, and dreams. The Path of Prayerexplores the meaning of prayer and its practice-and how it can help those of all faiths, or none, to resolve doubts and anxieties and move on through troubled times. Interweaving Burnham's personal experience with true stories of people who have prayed profoundly and found answers, and with scientific studies that prove the efficacy and health benefits of prayer, it offers guidance on everything from "Building Sacred Space" to "The Mystery of Unanswered Prayer." A prayer from one of the major religious traditions ends each chapter. This is a work of faith that reaches out to all who have suffered, all who are hurting, and all who long for a clearer vision of their path through life. "Sophy Burnham is a radiant writer. Her consciousness illumines the dark corridors of the soul. She brings peace, hope, humor, and inspiration to the subject of prayer. This book, one of her very best, must rank with The Road Less Traveledin its luminous humanity." (Julia Cameron, the author of The Artists Way)

Book Description
James Dille realizes that we can never completely understand the omnipotence and omnipresence of God. Therefore, we are asked to utilize faith when understanding fails. Through logic, experience, and mostly faith, he believes that God not only exists, but also exists within us. In a compilation of spiritual writings and reflections, Dille explores the Bibles many truths and demonstrates how its timeless words can be applied to contemporary life. By sharing real-life examples of strong characters alongside relevant scriptures, personal opinions, and thought-provoking questions, Dille inspires others to seek God in all they do, to reflect on their actions and choices, and ultimately make their faith stronger and more productive. Through spiritual advice intended to stimulate deep reflection, Dilles prayer is that others will benefit in their spiritual walk by connecting to and learning to live a life of love for and through Christ. Answers: To Prayers and Questions Asked Along the Way to the Grave shares a compilation of spiritual writings and introspective questions that encourage thoughtful discussion, a faithful look inward, and a happy Christian life.

Book Description
"Psalm 128:3-4 beautifully relates a wonderful truth and a precious promise that has truly been confirmed to my wife Marian and me: "Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD." Yes! The LORD has blessed us with eight incredible children. The Psalmist wrote, "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate." [1][1] For several years I have been adding to my memoirs, "A Chronicle of Blessings" devoting a large amount of that writing to my amazing family. Since that document probably will never finalize until I am called home to be with my LORD, I thought it would be a good thing to make the family part into a separate document to possibly, hopefully be published to bless families with children or are planning, hoping for children - a precious treasure indeed.

Book Description
Turning Points in Ministry: Thinking Aloud is a compilation of Dr. Hudson’s sermons written between 1995-2015, focusing on the different seasons of ministry from the early years to the challenges of interim ministry to the barren seasons of ministry. These sermons represent both the challenges and the victories of the minister’s different seasons of waiting for change and listening for God. Through the barren seasons, she learns that there is a purpose for barrenness. She also learns during the barren seasons (waiting and listening for God) that He develops our spiritual gifts and prepares us for far greater opportunities for service in ministry at the next turning points.
