Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A smart, wise, often side-splittingly funny master class in seeking God. Any spiritual seeker—from atheist to professional religious—will cherish this bravura tome from one of our great spiritual guides, in the lineage of C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa. Hallelujah & amen!”—Mary Karr, author of Lit and The Liar’s Club One of America’s most beloved spiritual leaders and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage teaches anyone to converse with God in this comprehensive guide to prayer. In The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, Father James Martin included a chapter on communicating with God. Now, he expands those thoughts in this profound and practical handbook. Learning to Pray explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives. A trusted guide walking beside us as we navigate our unique spiritual paths, Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Father Martin makes clear there is not one secret formula for praying. But like any relationship, each person can discover the best style for building an intimate relationship with God, regardless of religion or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us, is open and accessible to anyone willing to open their heart.

Download or read book THE PRAYER MINISTRY written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-22 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prayer ministry has to do with ministering to people - Believers and unbelievers - through prayer, intercession, and supplication. Every Believer in Christ Jesus has a level of ministry in prayer towards people - both to the Saints and the sinners. You pray for the people you preach to; and you pray to God to help this or that person in one area or the other. However, there are people who have greater responsibility, in ministry and assignment, to pray for different kinds of people and for the Plan and Purpose of God to come to pass on this earth. Of course, this does not mean that prayer is (or must be) the only ministry that the person has; because an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor, a teacher, a deacon, a musician, an usher, and others can have a strong call in praying and interceding for people, communities, churches, ministries, regions, and nations.

You will want to read them slowly and pray them quietly, one day at a time. "In Daily Companion, Peter Haas offers intimate prayers that rest on the deep rooted tradition of his faith. His vulnerability and longing lead you to your own journey. His fearless asking: Strengthen me in love. Draw me into your life, draw you to deeper places. He acknowledges, You are the shadow that crosses near in the silence of prayer. Praying these prayers with Haas becomes a daily chant reminiscent of those in monasteries the world over, kneeling in prayer in the silent hours before dawn."

Download or read book Pursuing Peace written by Fernando Garzon and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of Christians all over the world are reporting transformational experiences through Theophostic Prayer Ministry. Their testimonies are powerful, yet controversy remains for some. Skeptics say testimonials are limited and empirical proof is needed. This gives rise for quality research. The case studies in this book provide a good start and help to determine if more costly and rigorous studies are merited. This book is written without a lot of scientific jargon to appeal to both professional and lay-person alike. The researchers tell the stories of some of the clients in the study, along with providing charts, graphs and detailed reports from their test findings. Finally a summary of all the results from the sixteen clients that completed this study is closely examined. The positive outcomes represent a first small step in evaluating Theophostic Prayer. Even though more research studies need to be completed, the findings from this study are very encouraging. They provide a clear idea of the type of studies that need to follow this case study work in order to more fully assess this approach. In the final chapter, Ed Smith (the founder of Theophostic Prayer) answers many frequently asked questions about Theophostic Prayer. Dr. Fernando Garzon is an Associate Professor in the Center for Counseling and Family Studies at Liberty University. He has a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a B.A. in Biology from Wake Forest University. His interest areas include spiritual interventions in psychotherapy and Christian counselor education. Liberty University does not officially endorse Theophostic Prayer Ministry but rather supports the theological andscientific examination of this and other Christian intervention strategies.

Download or read book Praying Together written by Megan Hill and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all Christians would affirm the centrality of prayer for a healthy Christian life. And yet, for many, prayer is often a challenge, requiring intense personal commitment and self-discipline. However, as Megan Hill points out in Praying Together, our normal approach to prayer leaves out a crucial component: other people. While personal prayer is important, God designed the church to be a community of believers who regularly pray together. Exploring the Bible's rich teaching on what it means to gather at God's throne with one voice, Hill lays a theological foundation for corporate prayer and offers practical guidance for making it a reality—in our families, churches, and communities.
