Book Description
Thank you Lord for the life you have given me; Let it be pleasing to you. These are words that I teach my grandchildren to live by. I believe that we can teach the little ones who God is and what he wants for our lives, for the Bible says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).

Book Description
When God's people pray, they want answers. Yet many Christians don't know how to pray both effectively - in a way that gets results - and humbly - in a way that aligns with God's will. Prayer is a powerful weapon against the true adversaries of God's people: principalities, powers, dark rulers and spiritual wickedness in high places. These forces are the perpetrators of all kinds of evil: Addiction, abuse, poverty and spiritual bondage run rampant through families, churches, cities and nations. What can believers do to battle these forces? They can pray. Not just any prayer: the prayer of petition, known throughout Christian history as the prayer that gets results. Prayer of Petition explores this powerful prayer in detail, from the many examples found in God's Word to more recent instances of incredible miracles ushered in by this prayer. Readers will learn the biblical definitions of petition and supplication, and examine the key components of preparation, thanksgiving and humility. As readers learn to petition the Ruler of All, their confidence that God will prevail - no matter what - will grow, and as they learn to rest in His promises, peace will reign over their hearts through the coming revival.

Book Description
The question guiding the research was as follows: What impact does a disciplined, thoughtful practice of thanksgiving and intercessory prayer, done over time, have on the group practicing the discipline, and how does it change the participants' view of life or view of the ones for whom they pray? What I attempted to measure in this project was the impact on the ones who were praying intentionally and systematically the liturgical prayer of thanksgiving and intercession. The project focused on observing and participating in the practice of shaping the believer through a consistent, structured, ritual practice of the prayers of the people that takes its shape from the ordo of the ancient church, which is still used today. My hope for the project was to discover that praying deeply and broadly might open a small group of participants to the possibilities of difference and the opportunities to bridge the deep chasms existing between so many groups in the world. The project was designed to employ the methodology Gordon Lathrop outlines in Holy Things: A Liturgical Theology: "discern the pattern, practice the pattern, and renew the pattern," which carries with it the hope for renewal of the ancient for a new day. Hoping that the project would move people beyond just talking about prayer, I designed it so that the group would participate in prayer, reflect on the prayers, and reflect on their experience of the juxtaposition of participating in the classic liturgical prayer in the assembly and its use in daily prayer, producing critique and new meaning out of the old. In this project, the participants had the opportunity to explore prayers of thanksgiving and lament, with Christ at the seam. The first ministry action taken was a six-week class offered during the season of Lent (March 6-April 24, 2019). This class was designed to provide instruction and practice for the participants on the classic liturgical prayer of thanksgiving and intercession used in the Christian tradition and grounded in the biblical text as witness to it. The second ministry action also took place during Lent. Participants were asked to pray daily intercessory prayers, using the classic liturgical prayer of thanksgiving and intercession from Sunday's assembly. The third ministry action was administering short questionnaires to gather the data needed to address research question fully. All group members were then invited to participate in a final interview with me following the six-week class. Finally, the recap meeting provided the opportunity to share with the co-researchers the tallied responses from each of the questionnaires and the interviews. The summary of the questionnaires, interviews, and final recap meeting pointed to the same result--an intentional practice of praying thanksgiving and intercessory prayer using the classic liturgical model changed the participants' view of life and their view of the ones for whom they prayed. -

Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith
