Pastoral Prayers In Public Places
$15.99Part of pastor’s role in the community is to pray publicly. The pastor is often the offical “pray-er” at all kinds of community events – the high school football game, the opening of the new grocery store, the county shcool board meeting, kindergarten graduation – to name a few. But the pastor must also pray knowing that there are believers (of many persuasions) and nonbelievers present. In addition to the prayers in this book, there are brief setting descriptions and Scripture references. These prayers can be used with little or no adaptation.

Longing To Pray
$17.99The Psalms are much more than ancient poetry. They represent, in a moving, kaleidoscopic way, a vast catalog of very real humans with an unquenchable need to relate to their Creator. In spite of experiencing a wide array of troubles, inconsistencies, and questions, these writers were indeed sants who left behind the greatest collection of prayers in the possession of our human race. Best-selling author J. Ellsworth Kalas invites readers to study with ancient experts in prayer – the people who wrote the Book of Psalms. Kalas contends that is was the quality of their friendship with God that fueled them to begin the prayerful conversations that today’s readers across the globe admire and hold dear. The psalmists do not, however, offer any secret precept or a hard set of rules for effective praying. Still, if their prayers are read carefully, their secret of “the Ultimate Friendship” can truly be discovered. Kalas helps readers start down the path of an incredible journey of stimulating, challenging conversation with God. Also includes a study guide by John D. Schroeder.

Prayer : The Cry For The Kingdom (Revised)
$19.99Bringing our needs and desires to God has always stood at the heart of Christian prayer. But why is petitioning God so important? In Prayer: The Cry for the Kingdom noted theologian Stanley Grenz points to petitionary prayer as a crucial way for us to be involved with God’s work in history. At the center of such prayer, Grenz argues, is the cry to God that his kingdom might come into the world.
Grenz explores key questions that many Christians ask: What does it mean to pray “according to God’s will”? Should we persist in petitioning God for our needs? Does prayer really influence God? In the process of addressing these questions, Grenz offers practical guidance on praying effectively and challenges the contemporary church to recapture what it means to be a church that prays.
Revised and completely rewritten, with the inclusion of additional material, and now featuring an insightful foreword by Eugene Peterson, Grenz’s Prayer: The Cry for the Kingdom will help readers from every Christian tradition to foster a richer personal and communal life of prayer.

He has filled Prayer for People Who Can’t Sit Still with ideas, easy-to-follow instructions, and ways to adapt kinesthetic prayer to most any situation and “personal limitation.” Kinesthetic prayer can also have profound effects on the prayer life of children and youth. Prayer for People Who Can’t Sit Still is a valuable resource in children’s and youth ministries, helping these action-oriented age groups to find ways to build relationships with God.

Confessions Of A Prayer Wimp
$10.99For a woman who confesses to being a shallow thinker and says she prefers to take life one sunrise at a time, Pierce offers some rich life wisdom as she discusses the disciplines of faith and practical prayer. Pierce (humor columnist for Focus on the Family’s LifeWise magazine and author of When Did I Stop Being Barbie and Become Mrs. Potato Head?) tenders comical asides to everyday hassles, irritations and frustrations while simultaneously nudging readers to give thanks for these annoying episodes as they frequently become the purveyors of peace, hope and joy. With a chuckle on every page, readers will discover fresh twists to old struggles on body image, money issues, child-rearing and marriage. Pierce brings humor to the forefront as she details her failures in the prayer department, calling herself a prayer worrier whose only recourse to total meltdown is to recognize her utter dependence upon God. Throughout this three-part comedy act, spiritual lessons can be gleaned from such nondescript objects as hula hoops, Pine-Sol and metal bras. Pierce’s zany take on pairing prayer with life has the potential to do what few Christian books ever manage: to appeal to Christians and those outside the faith in equal measure.

Prayz In The Garden
$16.86Prayz in the Garden is not just a book. It is a call. This book was possible because my ex-wife was given a vision of me when I was dying from a drug overdose. I was literally prayed back to life-truly an Elijah story. Prayz in the Garden is a place: where we give back that hour in the garden where we can water the Lord where dreams come true where the cost has been counted where we belong as holy priests where there are divine prayers and agony in worship where deep spiritual healing and cleansing are found where there is unified freedom in diversity Best of all, it is a place in which we had always believed as children and as adults we have hoped. It is He who placed eternity in our hearts and gave light to all who came into the world. In the garden we shall find the heart and call of God. In deep union at the master’s table we shall find purpose, for it is only at His table that it can be found. It is a lamentation in which the Father is bestowing upon us.

Surrendering To God
$17.99Do you ever feel that prayer has become rote repetition, or that the simple prayers of childhood have lost their meaning?
In this life-changing little book, Rev. Keith Beasley-Topliffe shares his experience of praying the Covenant Prayer-a classic prayer that calls us to surrender completely to God. Line by line, Rev. Beasley-Topliffe uses the wisdom of the prayer of surrender as a guide for those who want to learn to trust God more. With honesty and gentle humor, Rev. Beasley-Topliffe shows us how simple prayers not only express our heart’s desires to God, but also open the doorway to deeper prayer and transformation.
“Abandonment to God is at the heart of Christian formation. Prayer is the means by which we surrender to God. Keith combines these two elements in a way that enables us to grow in grace through the regular use of this classic prayer.”
Dr. Steve Harper, Vice President
Asbury Theological SeminaryThe Covenant Prayer
I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt;
put me to doing, put me to suffering;
let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee;
let me be full, let me be empty;
let me have all things, let me have nothing;
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine.
So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen.Keith Beasley-Topliffe is the editor of The Upper Room Spiritual Classics and a major contributor to The Spiritual Formation Bible. He is the pastor of Fifth Street United Methodist Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Keith and his wife, Carola, who is also a United Methodist pastor, reside in Marysville, Pennsylvania.
“Surrendering to God is a rich spiritual resource. . . . These strikingly honest meditations offer both fresh challenge and encouragement in helping us examine our daily actions and attitudes toward work and possessions and how we deepen our trust in God’s guidance for all of life.”

Is God Listening
$29.98Prayer is in a state of confusion in Lutheranism.
*Does prayer bring God to me?
*Is prayer a means of grace?
*Is it a pipeline of communication between a believer and God?
*Is that pipeline a two way street?
*The more prayers that are prayed the better Christian I am?
*The more people that are praying the more likely someone will be taken care of by God?
Dr. Steinmann engagingly upholds the unique biblical Lutheran view of prayer in this book. Many books on prayer fall into the trap of making God so personal that prayer becomes a psychological tool, a sacrament, or an act in which the believer trusts more than the work of Christ. Dr. Steinmann, in a pastoral, yet scholarly manner brings to the reader God’s word and the simplicity of prayer.
He summarizes it this way:
1.Prayer does not begin with human effort to pester God until he listens. Prayer begins with God’s promise of mercy toward us;
2.Prayer is not a way to manipulate God into answering all our questions or solving our problems in the ways we want them solved. Prayer is designed to help us transcend our problems and troubles by hearing God Himself through His word and Sacraments.It is a book about prayer through the eyes of a pastoral scholar who uses the prayers in the bible to teach the reader about prayer and its place in the daily piety of the believer.

Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a complete guidebook for all who wish to know the practice of Centering Prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault goes further than offering an introduction, however.

Prayer Book For The 21st Century
$21.95For thousands of years men and women found meaning and a deep sense of belonging though faith in God. But today, traditional images of God (as an all-powerful father figure) and much standard prayer and worship language are no longer plausible for many believers. Yet the hunger to know – and communicate with – the Sacred in some form remains strong.
In this unique prayer book John McQuiston, bestselling author of Always We Begin Again, provides morning and evening devotions for two weeks, plus complete Morning and Evening Prayer services, along with a Service of Commemoration for Our Union. All use a language for and about God that reflects contemporary understandings of God and God’s actions in the universe. This pocket-sized devotional is an excellent resource for individuals and congregations who are seeking to worship in a language that acknowledges today’s realities and theology.

Eastertide : Prayers For Lent Through Easter From The Divine Hours
$22.00“A wise rabbi once told me that it is not how many prayers we don’t say that matters to God, but rather how many we do. That is important to all of us, but especially for beginners. If this is your first attempt to return to this most ancient of Christian practices, it is wise to remember that you are entering into a discipline and, like all disciplines, this one sits hard and heavy upon one at times. There are hours you will miss and/or some that you can’t even begin to figure out how to observe. That is all right, for either the joy will carry you into greater joy and transmute the discipline into privilege, or you will find yourself simply the wiser and the richer for such experience as you have had. As the rabbi said, that is what matters ultimately.”
In her acclaimed trilogy, The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle introduced modern Christians to the time-honored practice of “praying the hours.” In this exquisite new volume, she provides a vibrant program of prayer dedicated to the anticipation of Christ’s resurrection.
Beginning with Ash Wednesday and moving through Lent and on to Easter Sunday, Eastertide provides the daily prayers that bring practitioners into the full spirit of this season. Each day is filled with psalms, readings from the Bible, and hymns of praise and worship, just as they appear in the larger volume, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime. Newcomers to this beloved tradition will find that Eastertide is the perfect introduction to joining the ancients in the tradition of fixed-hour prayer.

Little Lamb Who Made Thee
$18.99The stories, essays, prayers, and poems in Little Lamb, Who Made Thee? continue the themes that the author began in Ragman and Other Cries of Faith and Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace. This volume portrays children, teenagers, adults, and parents as they grapple with the deep realities of life. At the heart of this struggle are the vital relationships we have with families, for it is from our parents_and from our children_that we most profoundly learn about ourselves as children of God. In the first section, Wangerin reminisces about his own childhood, and with the eyes of a child he helps us see the wonder and fullness of life. In the second section, he writes obout what it is like to be a pastor to parents and children alike, and as a young parent to his own children. Sage advice and joyful humor are couched in vivid stories_warm and intimate, raucous and chilling_that are Wangerin’s trademark. Finally, the book concludes with touching stories of adult children of aging parents_that sometimes sad, sometimes joyous time when children must become parents to their own parents. Far from being a how-to book or a manual, Little Lamb gets inside its subject to view parenthood and childhood as the great miracle and mystery that it is. This new, updated edition contains twelve all-new, never-before-published stories, making it the definitive edition of Little Lamb, Who Made Thee?

Gentle Words In A Raging Storm
$21.18Gary 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 Stormis 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

Pray Like This
$11.18Prayer is a powerful force — in Tennyson’s oft-quoted phrase, “more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” But the Lord’s Prayer is so familiar that we often take it for granted, reciting it by rote and missing its deeper meaning. Pray Like This… is an informative volume that helps you rediscover the simplicity and strength of the prayer that Jesus taught us. Alex Gondola carefully analyzes each of the prayer’s ten petitions, and explores how it is Christ’s template for communicating with God. Suitable for personal devotions, adult study groups, sermon preparation, or gift-giving, Pray Like This… is a versatile resource that will unclog your spiritual arteries and open new pathways in your own prayer life.

Songs Of The Isles
$25.00Many people know of the Carmina Gadelica, the collection of Gaelic songs, prayers and blessings from the Hebrides, yet few have access to its five volumes published in Scotland between 1900 and 1952.
Here, an attractive selection is made for the contemporary reader and freshly translated to reflect the particular Christian experience of the people who composed them: Celtic Christians in the 7th to 9th centuries who worshipped the Trinitarian God, had a devotion to the Virgin Mary, the Archangels and the Saints, and a love of the Bible, especially the Psalms. Some 130 poems and prayers are included, arranged in eleven sections including The Power of Heaven, Home and Family and Soul Journey. An extended introduction opens up the world that produced these extraordinary and beautiful prayers and blessings.
