Weariness. Wonder. Joy. Longing. Anger. These are the feelings of the Psalms: honest expressions of pain and joy penned by real people in the midst of real life circumstances. Though they were written centuries ago, the Psalms still resonate deeply with us today, giving voice to our thoughts and longings: "Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD." (Psalm 130:1) "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God." (Psalm 84:2) In Learning to Pray Through the Psalms, James W. Sire teaches us to take our appreciation for this rich book of Scripture a step further. Choosing ten specific psalms, Sire offers background information that helps us read each one with deeper insight and then lays out a meditative, step-by-step approach to using the psalmists' words as a guide for our own personal conversation with God. A group study is also included in each chapter, along with a guide for praying through the psalm in community. The Lord loves when his people pray. And his Word is a powerful tool for framing honest, intimate prayers. Sire's innovative approach will enrich our minds and our souls as we read more perceptively and pray with all of our emotions.

Prayer is not easy, yet learning to pray can be learned. The Beautiful Work of Learning to Pray is a brief but probing guide into the life of prayer. James Howell examines the many barriers to prayer (such as our busyness, how uncomfortable with silence we are, our doubts and fears) and invites the reader to take a fresh approach to the devotional life. Each lesson begins with a scripture passage and the author draws comfortably and appropriately from a rich array of other sources (Annie Dillard, St. Augustine, Henri Nowen, Kathy Mattea, Madeleine L’Engle, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, St. Francis, Oscar Romero, and the movie Good Will Hunting are a sampling.) The author’s own engaging writing style, including his ability to illumine his ideas with the shared wisdom of others, is a major strength of this book. While each “lesson” is only two book pages long, the author draws from a deep well of wisdom about prayer. Howell leads the reader through the “subjects” of prayer (e.g. praise, confession, giving thanks), and digs deeply into theological issues such as whether prayer works, prayer and suffering, and forgiveness. According to the author, “In the end, prayer draws us into community with others-- out of our “curved in” lives and into the world in service.” The Beautiful Work of Learning to Pray will be helpful to the novice in spiritual life as well as long-time Christians who are striving for a more profound relationship with God. Includes Study Guide, List of Sources, and Scripture Index.

Praying like Jesus doesn't just change your prayer life; it changes your entire life. There are many books on prayer, and books on Jesus, but there is a need for a book about the prayer life of Jesus since His prayer life alone was the perfect prayer life. How did Jesus pray? Why did Jesus pray? Where did Jesus pray? These questions and more will be examined as we look at what Jesus taught about prayer, as well as what Jesus modeled in prayer. This book will be biblical, practical, and easy to read so that it is accessible to a broad audience. Many people, Christian and non-Christian alike, statistically value prayer and try to have some sort of prayer life. But most people struggle to build any momentum in their prayer lives when they fall into a rut. In Pray Like Jesus, Mark and Ashley want to help people build momentum in their prayer lives by experiencing the presence of God in an ever-deepening, life-giving, burden-relieving, and hope-lifting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Appropriately, this absolutely fascinating book carries the title of the most perfect prayer we know - the one the Lord Jesus Christ Himself taught us to pray, to impart to us the true principle of spiritual prayer. I Can Learn to Pray - The Lord's Prayer - The Prayer of the Kingdom, is for anyone who wants to know God better as "Father." This book is unique for its simplicity and direct appeal to the deepest religious yearnings of mankind. It is, within itself, the answer to the heartfelt prayer of anyone who has expressed the dominant concern to "seek" but have not found the One in tune with the diverse challenges and joys of their life. Each chapter has instructional writings and thought-provoking meditations along with inspirational quotations from the Bible, and the writing is expressed in a Father-child interactive conversation. It is the book's intent that countless numbers of people will be guided to lives made happier, richer, and nobler by the wisdom gathered in its pages. Winsome Walters had an unlikely beginning for the Christian life. Her father, hard-working and devout, sternly reminded her, "I want my children to serve God." But although she was devoted to the ideals of her father's moral teachings, Ms. Walters was not prepared to commit to his exacting spiritual ambitions, and so she decided, I'll get away from God.and find my freedom. But when God wants to find you, He knows where you are - even if you're miles away spiritually playing hide and seek. As a result of a remarkable experience in her life, Ms. Walters gave her heart to the Lord. With exceptional tenacity she continues her love for Christ at an unstoppable pace. Her commitment to loving God, combined with the empathy, care, and love she has for those whom Christ died, has inspired her to write this book.

Yet, those who have overcome their fears and tried this form of prayer are quick to express how rewarding they find it. Rosalind Rinker has refined this form of shared-prayer, having practiced, lectured, and written about it for more than twenty-five years. She explains what it is and how, with the help of the Holy Spirit, it can lead to a new and more meaningful prayer life within a group, within your family, or in your own private devotion.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Prayer is for everyone. It is a personal relationship with God, and it changes throughout your life. It is something that changes your life. #2 If you grow up in a prayerfree environment, it’s not surprising that you wouldn’t know much about prayer. You were never taught how to pray, and you consider prayer something reserved for holy people, not you. #3 Prayer can be boring, and people can grow frustrated with the results of prayer. They may give up on prayer before they have the chance to experience the natural ups and downs of prayer and the spiritual life. #4 There are many reasons why people don’t pray, but the most common is laziness. People may be afraid of change, and they may fear that if they pray, they’ll become religious fanatics or quit their job to work with the poor.
