Most books explain how important prayer is and what it does for us as Christians, but they don't tell us how to do it, show what good a prayer looks like, or what to avoid. This is a guide—a manual—that will take you step-by-step through the most simple yet crucial aspects of talking with God. Isaac Watts uses practical examples and covers logical, obvious points to help us pray correctly and biblically.

Christians have proclaimed the good news about Jesus for centuries. But the good news isn't sounding so good these days, at least to some. More and more surveys show that people view Christians as bearers of bad news, judgment, and intolerance. In Vanishing Grace, best-selling author Philip Yancey acknowledges the problem and then explores how we can respond with both grace and truth. He offers a discerning look at what contributes to a hostility toward Christians, and identifies three groups - pilgrims, artists, and activists - who can show us a different way.

Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: When you come to a point where you understand his ways, your life takes on new meaning. Most people know a little something about God, but their knowledge of who he is and how he works stops just past the point of an initial introduction. In Step with God, pastor and author Charles F. Stanley offers simple, clear teaching that answers questions such as: What is God like?

Jesus never taught his disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray. With Christ in the School of Prayer offers a structured series of 31 short and concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the reader’s heart with a hunger for God’s presence.

Prayer is the beating heart of our relationship with God. But why must it be in secret? Why does Jesus insist we close the door when we pray?

Read it, be edified, and have hope: you have access to the Maker of heaven and earth who can do all things.

"Our Father, who art in heaven...." The opening words of the Lord's Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord's Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God's reign over all things in heaven and on earth.

Sandra Richter’s pedagogy offers every modern listener the scaffolding they cannot bring to the table themselves and introduces the people of God today to their ancestors in the faith in a cross-cultural-experience kind of way.

Are your prayers effective? "In Ephesians 6:18, we read words that show the incredible importance of prayer very clearly and forcefully: "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints". When we really stop to understand the meaning of these words and their context, we will say, "I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray".

As a student of the well respected teachings of Neville Goddard, I found that the essential shift to success on my journey came ONLY when I learned that you must first accept that everything is internal. Consciousness is the only reality. You can test these simple Approved Guidelines in your own research to find out that the truth is real. The Law of Assumption shows you that the world is truly within. Law of Attraction was wrong because it held to the belief that the world is outside of you. Until you accept this, you will not be successful.

Prayer is communication. It is not a formula that we have memorized, or an empty repetition of words and phrases, but our conversation with God—with us first speaking and then listening to what God has to say to us in return. Yet as Dr. Charles Stanley reveals, our prayers go beyond mere human interaction in that they give us access into the very throne room of God. Our heavenly Father grants us the privilege to come before him with authority because of our position in Christ. When we do, we can be bold in believing that God will accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives.

Do you yearn for a consistent prayer life? Do you struggle with distraction when praying alone, timidity when praying with others, or knowing where to start in either setting? Best-selling writer and beloved speaker Chrystal Evans Hurst knows both the freedom and blessing of establishing and growing a lively prayer life and how difficult it can be when prayer itself feels foreign to our daily lives. The Bible tells us that prayer is essential for an intimate and thriving relationship with God, and it's well worth the time and effort it deserves.

Find solace and strength through prayer. No matter how far our culture has come, we will never be able to shed the idea that women are primarily responsible for parenting their children.
