Book Description
Nearly all Christians would affirm the centrality of prayer for a healthy Christian life. And yet, for many, prayer is often a challenge, requiring intense personal commitment and self-discipline. However, as Megan Hill points out in Praying Together, our normal approach to prayer leaves out a crucial component: other people. While personal prayer is important, God designed the church to be a community of believers who regularly pray together. Exploring the Bible's rich teaching on what it means to gather at God's throne with one voice, Hill lays a theological foundation for corporate prayer and offers practical guidance for making it a reality—in our families, churches, and communities.

Together We Pray
Author: J Bradley (Brad) Wigger
Publisher: Chalice Press
ISBN: 9780827236462
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
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.

Pages : 122
Book Description
What is the role of corporate prayer in the church? Prayer is as necessary to the Christian as breathing is to the human body— but it often doesn't come quite as naturally. In fact, prayer in the church often gets subtly pushed to the side in favor of pragmatic practices that promise tangible results. This book focuses on the necessity of regular prayer as a central practice in the local church—awakening us to the need and blessing of corporate prayer by examining what Jesus taught about prayer, how the first Christians approached prayer, and how to prioritize prayer in our congregations.

Praying Together
Author: Martha Graybeal Rowlett
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780835809795
Category : Prayer
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The most popular image of prayer is an individual with eyes closed, head bowed, hands folded, and kneeling, silently communing with God. Prayer is an experience of open communion between one human being and God. But prayer experiences can and should be shared with community. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, and the Bible tells us that when two or more are gathered, God is there. Praying Together looks at the most popular and effective ways in which people are praying together in local churches today. Twenty-one prayer models are described with each model containing a plan and practical tips to consider. Some offer a personal reflection from one who has experienced transformation through the model. Several traditional models are described including prayer chains, prayer vigils, and prayer retreats as well as fresh, new ideas such as hosting Taize services, labyrinth walking, Prayer Walks, and Internet sacred spaces. No model is perfect, and the author asks church leaders to consider them all to determine which ones best meet the needs of varying congregational members. Praying Together is a much needed resource for church leaders who wish to broaden their congregational prayer efforts, to cultivate an active prayer community, and most importantly, to deepen the spiritual lives of their church members.

Not Yet Married
Author: Marshall Segal
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433555484
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.
