Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On April 13, 2013, two teams separated by less than eight miles in southern Connecticut played before a packed house in Pittsburgh and a national TV audience for college hockey's national championship. Quinnipiac and Yale, different in so many ways, had one thing in common other than geography: both proved doubters wrong, topping traditional heavyweights on their way to the title game. The game's result was perhaps as surprising as the season itself: Yale, a heavy underdog and one of the last teams to get into the NCAA tournament, routed top-seeded Quinnipiac 4-0. This book tells the story of how skill, hard work and smart planning brought the two teams to that night in Pittsburgh. -- Publisher description.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If you want to have a conversation with God, then you need to do two things: pray and fast. In this primer focusing on these fundamental activities of faith, Rev. Dr. Lionel Stokes shares her transforming life experiences, exploring ¿ what the Bible says about prayer; ¿ why there are so many misconceptions about fasting; and ¿ how fasting and praying interact with each other. True prayer is a conversation with God, but many think of it as a monologue because of the way it occurs in church. It's often like a one-way telephone conversation, in which one person goes on endlessly without the slightest pause for even an 'aha' from the other party-and then the caller hangs up before a response can be made. Whatever our circumstances or situations, there are times when we want or need to communicate with God or to hear from Him. The means by which we do this, therefore, must be simple and clear. If you want to have a real conversation with God and develop a stronger relationship, with Him, then praying and fasting are the answers-but you need to do it right. Take a balanced approach that's safe and effective, and move closer to the Lord with Prayer and Fasting. …

Also included are scriptural references and prayers that you can use when faced with either challenges or joy.
