Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Weaver says that "prayer is part poetry, part free-association, and part love letter to God. When spoken, it is the most intimate, sacred speech we utter. When written down, it becomes a diary of the heart." And that's a perfect description of this compelling collection of more than 160 prayers. Some are songs of celebration and joy that "dance before the Lord," while others are desperate pleas for clarity, direction, and meaning amidst loss, divorce, suffering, injustice, fear, and anger. But all of them bring the gentle words of thoughtful introspection and a sustained conversation with the Almighty to the raging storm of daily life with its overwhelming cacophony of motion, noise, and imagery. These prayers can be used in almost any setting from the sanctuary to the stadium, as well as in study groups, prayer circles, nursing homes, or for private meditation. If you're looking for a prayer resource that speaks clearly about the Christian faith while addressing serious human questions, concerns, doubts, and distress, Gentle Words in a Raging Storm is a first-rate compilation you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Themes include: - Personal prayers - Pastoral prayers - Prayers about the seasons of life - Prayers about suffering, dying, and grief - Prayers for the journey of faith - Prayers for special occasions Gentle Words in a Raging Storm invites the worship leader to explore a rich variety of prayer topics, images, and metaphors. I would prescribe a careful reading of this book for anyone who suspects that repetition and sameness have invaded their public prayers. R. David Steele Pastor Emeritus, Christ Presbyterian Church Terra Linda, California Former columnist, The Presbyterian Outlook Gary R. Weaver is the executive presbyter of the Presbytery of Pueblo (Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.) in Pueblo, Colorado. He has pastored churches in California, Utah, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Download or read book Christian Character written by Ernest R. Larkins and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers twenty-six Christian character traits with narrower groupings for regeneration, the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, fruit of the Spirit, core traits, family and friends, romantic relationships, work ethics, struggles in life, and decision-making. Brainstorming sessions, hymn sings, intriguing insights, movie nights, nature studies, and other activities generate interest. A precise, multi-faceted definition of the trait sets the scope. Within each lesson, the first section addresses the question, “Why does character matter?” The specific answer unfolds through two key verses and two Bible characters. Section two responds to the question, “What does Christian character look like?” It examines the trait more closely and explores applications. The last section answers the question, “How can believers improve their character?” Mere self-effort does not produce godly results. Only the Holy Spirit’s power can enable anyone to keep the moral law and, thus, cultivate Christian traits. Believers must seek to understand God’s desire and then petition him for godly results. To encourage the latter, participants complete a “Heart Assessment, Reflection, and Petition” (HARP) chart to examine their lives and consider areas for change. The closing prayer acknowledges past failures and petitions the Spirit for divine strength to improve Christian character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life storms happen to all of us-no one is exempt. At one time or another, each of us will be called upon to endure some kind of storm, whether financial, physical, emotional, or mental. When suffering these personal tempests, learning to trust that God is in control is vital to survival. In I'm in the Midst of the Storm: But Jesus Is in the Boat with Me, author Barbara Middleton shares the storms she and her family have endured, including a heart transplant, breast cancer, and other health-related complications. Even though God did not make the Middleton's problems disappear, He stayed by their side every step of the way, giving them the necessary courage and strength to continue living. Through an engaging mixture of fact and fiction, Middleton discusses several aspects of dealing with the complications of life. From comparing the life storm to a light spring rain or to a full-fledged hurricane, Middleton delves into the importance of trusting in the Lord. Even though our individual storms may vary greatly, she reveals how imperative it is to stay focused on God and accept His will for our lives.
