Book excerpt: After their 8 year old son was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease in 2015, Stephen and Jenny Wollwerth decided to battle the diagnosis with an unusual weapon. It's the same weapon they used in so many other impossible situations in their life. Stephen wants to share with you how they have had victory in so many battles, and he wants to help you find true victory in every situation you face. The power of God to break down the impossible walls and to see miracles is very real, but sometimes we have to fight for it with God at our side. You might think that answers to prayer are merely coincidences, but the number of times impossible things have happened for this family in direct correlation to their prayers are too numerous to be called a coincidence. From phone calls that come with the answer the very minute a prayer is prayed, to people across the world hearing God's voice instructing them to send help, the stories in this book will leave you in awe of the very real, very present power of God in the lives of those who pray. Stephen teaches you how to have an overcoming spirit and a heart that never gives up in the face of the impossible.

Download or read book Prayer written by John Onwuchekwa and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of corporate prayer in the church? Prayer is as necessary to the Christian as breathing is to the human body— but it often doesn't come quite as naturally. In fact, prayer in the church often gets subtly pushed to the side in favor of pragmatic practices that promise tangible results. This book focuses on the necessity of regular prayer as a central practice in the local church—awakening us to the need and blessing of corporate prayer by examining what Jesus taught about prayer, how the first Christians approached prayer, and how to prioritize prayer in our congregations.
Download or read book The Dawn Prayer written by Matthew Schrier and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is your name?" asked General Mohammad. "Matthew," I said. I had stopped saying Matt a while ago because it means ‘dead' in Arabic. On New Year's Eve in 2012, Matthew Schrier was headed home from Syria, where he'd been photographing the intense combat of the country's civil war. Just 45 minutes from the safety of the Turkish border, he was taken prisoner by the al Nusra Front—an organization the world would come to know as the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda. Over the next seven months he would endure torture and near starvation in six brutal terrorist prisons. He'd face a daily struggle just to survive. And, eventually, he'd escape. In this gripping, raw, and surprisingly funny memoir, Schrier details the horrifying and frequently surreal experience of being a slight, wisecracking Jewish guy held captive by the world's most violent Islamic extremists. Managing to keep his heritage a secret, Schrier used humor to develop relationships with his captors—and to keep himself sane during the long months of captivity. The Dawn Prayer (Or How to Survive in a Secret Syrian Terrorist Prison): A Memoir is a tale of patriotism and unimaginable bleakness shot through with light . . . of despair and friendship, sacrifice and betrayal, in a setting of bombed-out buildings and shifting alliances. It's the story of the first Westerner to escape al Qaeda—not a battle-hardened soldier, but an ordinary New Yorker who figured out how to set his escape plan in motion from a scene in Jurassic Park. From the prisoners' fiercely competitive hacky sack games and volleyball tournaments (played using a ball made of shredded orange peels and a shoelace) to his own truly nail-biting outbreak, Matthew Schrier's story is unforgettable—and one you won't want to miss.

Download or read book Prayers for People under Pressure written by Jonathan Aitken and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-02-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Aitken's conversion occurred at a time when he was experiencing the pressures of political life, a public trial, pleading guilty to perjury, being divorced by his wife, going to prison, and returning to "normal" life. Amid all the pressure of those years, he was discipled in such a way that he learned the discipline of daily prayer and kept extensive prayer journals. It is from these that he mined the material for this book. Essentially following the ACTS approach to prayer-Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication-Aitken also adds an element of contemplation: Our Relationship with God. His acronym, then, is ACTORS, and his collection of prayers and reflections is accordingly divided into five parts, all preceded by a narrative of his introduction to a life of prayer. "Since direct communication with God in prayer is surely the truest path for a spiritual journey," writes Aitken, "my prayer is that this small book may help others along that path."
