Download or read book A Praying Life written by Paul E. Miller and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 500,000 copies sold! Updated and expanded! Prayer is hard. Often, unless circumstances demand it—such as an illness or saying grace before a meal—most of us simply do not pray. This kind of prayerlessness can leave us with a distressed spirit and practical unbelief characterized by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual depression. A Praying Life is a prayer guide that has encouraged thousands of Christians to pursue a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power and has helped them learn how to pray faithfully and courageously. A life of prayer invites you to a life of connection to God. When Jesus describes the intimacy that He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). This book reminds readers that prayer is simply making conversation with God a rhythm of daily Christian life. A Praying Life includes chapters about: How to deal with unanswered prayer How to start a prayer journal Does prayer make a difference? Now with added chapters addressing prayers of lament and further guidance for using prayer cards, Paul Miller invites you to foster prayer that regularly hopes, trusts, and expects God to act. Learn to develop helpful habits and approaches to prayer that will enable you to return to a childlike faith and witness spiritual growth today! “This book will be like having the breath of God at your back. Let it lift you to new hope.” —Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Bold Love

Download or read book Inn By The Bye Stories 19 written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a preacher seeking a fresh way into the text I would be using for preaching, I began to develop an imaginary world populated primarily by wee folk. I found that they - my characters as I found them developing and evolving not only in my mind but also on the page - served me well as a consideration of how I sensed things happening in the scriptural text at hand. I now want to make these stories and the world they represent newly available, and so I bring them to book form, fifty at a time. The cover drawing is done by Eve Sullivan, the author’s granddaughter. The drawing is the artist’s conception of the entrance to the Fringe.
Download or read book The Gospel According to Luke 1 1 Through 9 50 written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible Studies I chose to do came about in answer to the request from my first congregation out of seminary. I consistently sought to present a serious, somewhat scholarly approach to the interested among my parishioners. I would taka book in the Bible to study, assume it was written or edited to be read from the beginning, and make sense to the reader in that way. I attempted to discover for myself and my group what the book sought to convey. In this volume, the study of Luke 1:19:50 followed that pattern exactly.
Download or read book Writings on the Spiritual Life written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abbot Andre Louf said that, when a person decides to get serious about the spiritual life, s/he should acquire a spiritual director. Wayne Proudfoot argued that the form of religious experience depends upon the tradition in which it is perceived. Georges Bataille searched out the meaning of his own intense inner experience in non-traditional ways. This book seeks to follow the meaning of traditional measures of the spiritual life learned through the experience of the author once his spiritual life decided to choose him.
Download or read book Without a Flock written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the free church tradition, the pastoral prayer has long assumed an important place in the worship of the congregation. It is expected that the pastor will have a more or less extended prayer pertinent to the day and/or to the run of the service in general. Under the circumstances of normal practice, these would involve awareness of a congregation, or a "flock" for a pastor to tend. After ending a normal pastorate and entering retirement and the far more occasional happenstance of entering a pulpit as a guest, the regular preparation for a worship-leading practice became desirable, personally. As a part of that preparation, most often without entering the leadership of worship, least of all as pastor, the pastoral prayer was prepared. This book collects eleven years worth of pastoral prayers, linked to the preaching text of the day by way of the sermon prepared. As there is no flock as reference point, these are, indeed, "Without A Flock".
Download or read book Miscellaneous Short Bible Studies written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-03-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are bible studies of a limited scale, developed and led by the author with two of the congregations he served. The first congregation was in Mantua OH in the late 1970s, from which the first three bible studies arose: Ruth, Lamentations, and The Infancy Narratives. The second congregation was in New Martinsville WV from 1998 through 2003, these being done is a slightly different style: Psalms of Ascent, Selected Psalms, The Speech of Stephan, Encountering God, Matthew 5 and Matthew 6 & 7. I sought to bring a serious, somewhat scholarly approach to the study of the bible among those congregation members who chose to attend. This revisiting of those studies prove once again their value to me. I hope they prove to be so for you as well.
Download or read book Playful Courtesies written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My poems sharpen my sight, so that I see better what is there to be seen. I will find some situation or image or nuance that catches my eye, intrigues me. Sometimes, that seeing lends itself as an image for me, and then a line, just one at first that, when written down, enters into a cadence, a rhythm, a sense of sound and echo that emerges into a sequence of lines that flow, usually quickly. And then, the lines stop, the images seem complete, and then they announce to me that the poem is complete. That is true whether the image is a raindrop, a face, a pose, a tree, a flower, a bird, a shadow, or the innuendo of faith or country - whatever. This book draws upon poems written some years ago, mostly in the years 2009 and 2015. There are also a few current poems that insist themselves into the collection as they are accumulated into the current year's file. As I revisit poems of years ago, quite often the occasion presents itself to memory - but not always so. Sometimes, that occasion is as if unnecessary and, indeed, almost in the way of the poem as it has come to be. Revisiting is always a pleasure; it becomes one of the spurs toward forming the collection itself. Indeed, it is the pleasure and the satisfaction in that book that brings it about. Satisfaction is such a boon to life.
Download or read book The Burl Becomes the Blossoming written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry writing has proven proficient at helping me see what is there to be seen. I will see or hear or reflect on something which then provides an image, a nuance that emerges in a word, a line. The single line and image, written, provides a cadence, a focus of sound and echo that invites a second line, and more. Usually, they come quickly and run until they tell me they are done and the poem is complete. This book draws upon such poems over a pair of sweeps of my history plus a sampling of more current poems that strike me as desirable in this collection. These pieces of my past often recollect for me the occasion but also leave that occasion obscured and allow the poem to do its work of creating an image and a flow in my own mind. The poems, in my experience, write their meaning on my mind. And, I hope, on yours as well. For then the poems do their work.

Download or read book A Second For Your Quiet Meditation written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These meditations take a verse from one of the lectionary texts not chosen for preaching for a given service and offer a devotional reflection on the verse, often using the context of the entire pericope as described in the lectionary. I try to make them worth the while of my readers, finding a fairly broad readership among the congregations I served through the years. The Cross on the cover was made by William Herbert Durst in his Florence workshop. Mr. Durst was the grandfather of Mary-Bess Halford-Staffel who calls it his “Trinity Cross”.
