Pray LIke Jesus: Learn to Pray to God as Father
by Mark Driscoll Ashley ChasePraying like Jesus doesn&’t just change your prayer life; it changes your entire life. There are many books on prayer, and books on Jesus, but there is a need for a book about the prayer life of Jesus since His prayer life alone was the perfect prayer life. How did Jesus pray? Why did Jesus pray? Where did Jesus pray? These questions and more will be examined as we look at what Jesus taught about prayer, as well as what Jesus modeled in prayer. This book will be biblical, practical, and easy to read so that it is accessible to a broad audience. Many people, Christian and non-Christian alike, statistically value prayer and try to have some sort of prayer life. But most people struggle to build any momentum in their prayer lives when they fall into a rut. In Pray Like Jesus, Mark and Ashley want to help people build momentum in their prayer lives by experiencing the presence of God in an ever-deepening, life-giving, burden-relieving, and hope-lifting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pray Out Loud: Your Voice Can Change the Atmosphere
by Kimberly DanielsMore than 95 percent of the psalms express or invite audible words. This book will inform, equip, and inspire you to proclaim prayers that spread the gospel. We are living in times of great discrimination against the message of the church. Special interest groups boldly stand on platforms and speak out in ways much like Goliath did when he mocked the armies of the Lord. The generals of that time hid and were afraid to speak out, but we must learn from their mistake. God is recruiting voices from the wilderness of the America we live in today to stand and speak truth in love. The general attitude of many people is that prayer should be offered up only in the privacy of sanctuaries or the seclusion of prayer closets. This book defies that idea. As others are boldly coming out of the closet for whatever they are passionate about, so should believers! We know that there is life and death in the power of the tongue. We also know God&’s people perish for a lack of knowledge. Pray Out Loud not only informs and trains readers; it also equips them with prayers and declarations so they can intercede with power. This book encourages Christians to refuse to be silenced and instead to become violent interrupters who stand in the gap and with loud voices proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Trains and equips you to overcome intimidation and receive impartation to intercede with power Includes declarations and decrees for intercession and spiritual warfare
Pray While You're Prey: How God Turned My Loneliness and Frustration into Contentment and Commitment
by Toni WortherlyBeing single is not a prison sentence. It is not a cage that holds you captive. In fact, it is the ultimate freedom. It is freedom to discover God’s will for your life, to live a fulfilling life. It is the ability to run free in this jungle of a world, knowing that when the time is right, a good hunter will snare you and hold you captive, while God reveals a new purpose for you. If anyone had said these things to me, even while I was writing this book, I would not have believed it, but God led me on a journey. A journey from frustration to contentment. A journey from loneliness to commitment. Not the commitment with a man that I thought I longed for, but a commitment to Christ that my soul yearned for. I stopped chasing a dating dream and started serving a risen reality. God revealed things that I needed to change about me, the types of hunters that exist, the ones that are best for me, how to escape a predator called loneliness, and have a Godly relationship once I’m captured. And I know that God didn’t just lead me on the journey for me; He intended for me to share my journey with others.

Clergy and laity alike will reap the benefits of this revitalizing look at the spiritual disciplines as dynamic forces in the life of the church.
Pray. Trust. Ride: Lessons on Surrender from a Cowgirl and a King
by Lisa BoucherPray. Trust. Ride: encourages you to stay in the saddle and ride through life with a looser rein. We live more fully when we can let go— even when all looks bleak and our brains scream, Hang on and do something! Do anything! Fix this! Stop that! The truth is, those problems that strangle our hearts are the sort of problems that we can&’t fix. King Jehoshaphat understood that when he was boxed in by his enemy; at his most vulnerable moment, he leaned on God and let go of the outcome. Using this approach as her guiding principle, Lisa Boucher shares in this helpful guide how to lean on spiritual principles to help people live with less anxiety and strife, and how letting go allows us to accept that we can&’t solve all our problems; we can&’t save others from themselves; we can&’t stop the inevitable from happening. What we can do is let go and trust that God has our backs.
