A Better Way to Pray

Pages : 193
Book Description
After nearly four decades of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered some important truths about prayer. His prayer life is much different than it was thirty years ago and the results have dramatically improved! You may be asking many of the same questions Andrew once did. Is prayer my Christian duty? Is prayer primarily about asking God to meet my needs and the needs of others? Is God's answer to my prayer based on the degree of my humility and sincerity? Is answered prayer a sovereign decision of God or do I have the ability to influence Him? Clear, scriptural answers to these questions and more could significantly change the way you pray. These principles may not be the only way to pray, but if you're not getting the results you desire, consider changing directions; maybe there is A Better Way to Pray.

Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope?

Pages : 185
Book Description
"Amy is a gifted teacher and her words are just the right mix of clever, funny, and profound." --Peggy Bodde, founder of Sacred Work When the pain and problems of life barge in, hopes and dreams run out. In these uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, and global catastrophe, it's easy to wonder if life will ever be anything but sorrow and despair. The apostle Peter knows exactly what it's like when hope is gone. He watched as the Messiah was arrested, crucified, and buried. And Peter himself failed almost every test of his faith, even with Christ right in front of him. But he also knows that God is faithful and true, carrying us through our harshest suffering and redeeming our heaviest regrets. Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively dives into Peter's first epistle, a short letter with a lot of power, to light the way for today's struggling Christian. In this daily Bible study, she guides readers through the beautiful story of Peter and shows how he embodies the way to set our hope fully in Christ alone. With gentle honesty and a touch of helpful humor, Amy helps readers understand that when it feels like the end of the world to them, it's just the beginning of the power of Jesus. "A beautiful, honest, and in-depth journey into 1 Peter. . . . You'll come away a little more humble, a little more thoughtful and introspective, and best of all, a whole lot more able to set your hope fully on Christ." --Jennifer Hayes Yates, author of Just Like Us and Seeking Truth

Made for His Pleasure
Author: Alistair Begg
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802496717
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Are you living for God's pleasure or for your own? Pleasing God is not a matter of personal choice, but an imperative that must be taken seriously. In a world of self, we must give way to the priority of God if we want to experience His joy. In this popular book, Alistair identifies ten benchmarks from Scripture that will prove invaluable as you seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. His clear, personal message will challenge and revitalize your faith. Spiritual fitness is not a series of straight, 100-yard sprints. Rather, it’s a lifelong cross-country run of endurance and perseverance. The life that is truly fulfilling gives back to God the talents and abilities He has given us to be used for His glory. "Delightful, insightful teaching on God's Word" — Max Lucado "Alistair compels us clearly and biblically to know the joy of pleasing God in our relationships, successes and failures, and other strategic aspects of our lives." — Joseph M. Stowell

Walking Each Other Home
Author: Peter C. Wilcox
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498243282
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
The English writer G. K. Chesterton once wrote: "Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace." These reflections are the author's effort, as an older father, to pass on to his daughter, with grace, what he believes is truly important in life. When his daughter was young, he used to tell her that his constant prayer was to live long enough so that "I can get you raised!" Thankfully, that prayer has been answered. But parenting is a life-long process that evolves as we and our children grow older. Through the years, Dr. Wilcox has discovered that being an older father has advantages and disadvantages. If age gives one more life experience and wisdom, then hopefully these reflections will be a way that he can share his life and wisdom with her and others. Throughout thirty years as a psychotherapist and spiritual director, Dr. Wilcox counseled many fathers who were genuinely trying to be good parents. This book is intended to help fathers influence, in a positive way, the life choices their daughters will make. It is an invitation to explore how we can continue to help our daughters grow spiritually and psychologically into the person God is calling them to become.

Contemplation Letter From LeRoy We have exited volume four and it is my hope that you as the reader can see that you have to step out in front of your life. As you look back on your life as I have, you must see that you have been the one holding yourself back for your dreams and goals. It is you, just like it was and is me holding onto an invisible chain of defeat. When I lost my mom, I could not get on with what I wanted to do, but when the writings started, I could feel the release of pain. She did all she could for her children to make sure we had the basics. I wanted so much to repay her for that but success for me was hard, but I hope you don?t make the mistakes I made to get your dreams or goals off the ground. With the cover of volume, I began to see that I was remaking me?making myself into the man I wanted my mom to see. I needed to know that it is ok to cry when you lose someone. It is ok to say you are lost and need GOD to assist you to get you back on the journey you set out to do, but most of all it is ok to forgive yourself if you don?t get there. I now look at my journey as a spiritual quest with the same goals and dreams. I had to step beyond my pain and take the ?first step? to completing those things I told her I would do. As you review the covers and the back of the books, I want you to see that this is a journey we all take and along the way people come to meet you and want to assist in your travels. To Leo for giving the pictures to jump start the back of the book and the one on the back of this book to assist me in showing you life will always be filled with things you can not explain. To Connie for sharing what is and will always be apart of her SOUL and showing the world that our journey is the same?love is the merging of the SOUL with the life you live. I hope you all enjoyed this volume and I will bring the final installment to the world in 2015. Thank you in advance for going this far in with me.
