Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Take the time to sit at His feet.The Bible contains numerous models of prayers offered to God by His people. Even Jesus prayed to His Father and spent significant time in solitude listening to Him. Yet it seems that today very few Christians actually spend time with the Lord. For many, prayer has been reduced to squeezing in a few seconds to give thanks before meals and listing requests at bedtime. Still, many Christians long to develop a disciplined and meaningful prayer life but find it difficult to know where or how to begin.In Simply Praying, Patsy Lewis leads readers on a transforming 52-week prayer adventure. With gentle guidance and insight, she provides practical prayer techniques that will transform their view of prayer and strengthen their relationship with the Lord. She addresses topics such as staying focused during prayer, letting go of emotional baggage, using Scripture to pray intentionally, and how to start or enhance a prayer journal that fits each individual's needs and style. Simply Praying encourages readers to run into Jesus' arms and sit at His feet&#151the place where the pursuit of truth and an authentic relationship with God begins.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Recommended by the Nazarene Organic Church NetworkChange is rapidly occurring in almost every area of our society. However, the one notable exception to this is often found in the church, especially in smaller churches. Instead of responding to the changes around them, these churches have adopted a maintenance mentality, which is primarily interested in survival and risk-free ministries that are inwardly focused and fail to meet the needs of those outside their church community. If our churches are going to have an impact on today's culture, we have to move from a maintenance mindset to a missional one.Intentional Ministry in a Not-So-Mega Church is designed to help leaders of smaller churches guide their people in making their primary focus ministering to and meeting the needs of those outside their church. Drawing from more than twenty years of experience as a small-church pastor, Dennis Bickers explores the qualities of transformational leadership and explains what it takes for leaders to create a climate in their churches that promotes and facilitates necessary change. From willingness and vision to risk-taking and commitment, Bickers challenges leaders to become the agents of change their churches need as they seek to answer and act on the question: Who are we here for. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Give us this day our daily bread.'These words from the Lord's Prayer are beautiful and inspiring, but truly following them can lead to a terrifying place in our spiritual journey--the place of absolute dependence on God.Just ask the Israelites. Living on manna in the desert had to be scary. They couldn't gather more than they needed or save any of it for later. Their bread was supplied one day at a time. Every morning they had to trust that God had provided what He promised--the exact amount of manna needed for that day's survival. Can you imagine? Every day their lives depended on a miracle from God. It is this kind of daily dependence that transforms wandering believers into great people of God.This inspiring book calls you to follow in the footsteps of the Israelites and allow God to take you to the terrifying, yet transformational, place of absolute dependence on Him. Instead of simply observing and being entertained by God's miracles, you will be challenged to let go of your fears and doubts of living on manna and, like the Israelites, develop a level of trust with God that allows Him to use you in ways He was never able to before.Click here to download the Leader's Guide and PowerPoint.…
