Download or read book Together We Pray written by J Bradley (Brad) Wigger and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together We Pray is a book of prayers written especially for families with children. It brings together grandparents, parents, older children, and even the youngest child to give thanks and to ask for God's help and mercy for the family and for the world. The prayers offered in Together We Pray are inspired by the Psalms of the Bible, scripture shared by Jews and Christians. They include prayers for the table, devotional prayers, and memory prayers that young children can easily understand. The prayers for table and devotion begin with a line or two from the Psalm in which the prayer is rooted and celebrate the good things of life just as the Psalms do--food, joy, home, love, and more. They also express a concern for other people and places around the world. For so many families, life today seems fast-paced and chaotic. Stopping for a moment to breathe, pausing and expressing thanks and gratitude to God, can be very powerful, even if the pause is relatively brief. Together We Pray helps families to take that pause, to share in God's love and grace, and to do so in the most profound and lasting way--together as a family.

Download or read book Talking about Race written by Isaac Adams and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations about racism are as important as they are hard for American Christians. Yet the conversation often gets so ugly, even among the faithful who claim unity in Jesus. Why is that the case? Why does it matter? Can things get better, or are we permanently divided? In this honest and hopeful book, pastor Isaac Adams doesn't just show you how to have the race conversation, he begins it for you. By offering a fictional, racially charged tragedy in order to understand varying perspectives and responses, he examines what is at stake if we ignore this conversation, and why there's just as much at stake in how we have that discussion, especially across color lines--that is, with people of another ethnicity. This unique approach offers insight into how to listen to one another well and seek unity in Christ. Looking to God's Word, Christians can find wisdom to speak gracefully and truthfully about racism for the glory of God, the good of their neighbors, and the building up of the church. Some feel that the time for talking is over, and that we've heard all this before. But given how polarized American society is becoming--its churches not exempt--fresh attention on the dysfunctional communication between ethnicities is more than warranted. Adams offers an invitation to faithfully combat the racism so many of us say we hate and maintain the unity so many of us say we want. Together we can learn to speak in such a way that we show a divided world a different world. Talking About Race points to the starting line, not the finish line, when it comes to following Jesus amid race relations. It’s high time to begin running.

Download or read book Warring For My Girls written by Mya Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and girls across the world are struggling in the area of friendships like never before. After a certain age, the idea of maintaining fruitful, equally balanced friendships seems far-fetched. Through her own personal growth and struggles, Mya Kay shares prayers and stories from her heart, that are meant to encourage you to war for the girls in your life. Never one to present a challenge without having first walked through it, Mya Kay shares insight after each devotional on the times she herself wasn't a good friend; times she felt misunderstood as a friend; and essentially, what her friendship with Christ taught her about the value of sacrifice in friendships, all to help get you to one place - becoming the friend you desire to have. This 30-Day Devotional will teach you how to: -Pray word-inspired prayers to cover your friends in different areas of their lives-Encourage yourself when you aren't sure where you stand as a friend-Press into God's presence on behalf of a friend-Denounce the spirit of jealousy before you lose your friend-Discern the difference between valuing and supporting your friend...And much more! Truth: You can have valuable, God-driven, fruitful and equally beneficial friendships. You just have to learn how to war against the real enemy. Review: "Warring for My Girls has definitely impacted me spiritually. Throughout my time reading the book, it was clear that God was reminding me of three major things - one, intentionality is key; two, friendships are to be stewarded; and three, love is yielding to what a person needs in various seasons (including myself) - and not simply what I think should be occurring or what I desire. I could feel my faith being both ignited and challenged as I thought to myself, 'do I war for all of my friends in these strategic, specific, and powerful ways?' I know these prayers and the wisdom from Mya's stories will heal, deliver, and help to flourish the friendships of many girls and women who read this book."Adreeonah Mundy, LPC, NCC (Licensed Professional)

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

"If men like us don't pray, where will emerging generations get a window into the soul of a good man, an image of the kind of man they can aspire to be--or be with--when they grow up? If men don't pray, who will model for them the practices of soul care--of gratitude, confession, compassion, humility, petition, repentance, grief, faith, hope and love? If men don't pray, what will men become, and what will become of our world and our future?" --from the Introduction by Brian D. McLaren This collection celebrates the profound variety of ways men around the world have called out to the Divine--with words of joy, praise, gratitude, wonder, petition and even anger--from the ancient world up to our own day.

The great "I Am" is always ready to help us when we call on him in humility forsaking all pride and boastfulness. In the book are scriptures of the Bible that were chosen to go along with the prayer subjects. These include praying for faith, peace, praise, worship and thanksgiving, as well as asking for God's protection to help us overcome our fear; finally, we pray for love and joy to permeate throughout this nation. We need our Lord and Savior to help us overcome our differences and put down the thoughts that we are us and them and come together as one. Only he can provide the wisdom and knowledge we need to solve our problems with saving our economy and helping those who are in desperate need. Today, so many American families do not have enough income to feed themselves or pay for a place to live. Our economy is in distress with businesses, such as the airline industry and large theme parks, having layoffs of large numbers of people. God is waiting for us to call on him to help us. We will not be successful in our wonderful land until we unite in prayer asking for God's forgiveness and blessings. It is the beginning of our submitting our will to God's will. Therefore, we need to let him have his way with us and bless our nation. The beautiful photography is provided to help us to relax and open our hearts and minds to our heavenly Father in corporate prayer for our country. 20
