Praying with Eyes Wide Open


Book Description

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. But Scripture encourages us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives--when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't. Praying with Eyes Wide Open shows us how to make continuous prayer a natural part of our lives rather than something on our daily spiritual checklist. It helps us encounter God in new ways as we learn to - open our eyes to see his presence and the world around us - open our ears to hear his voice - open our hearts to experience freedom and power as we pray - and open our lives as we pray for and with others Anyone desiring a richer, more transformative prayer life will welcome this fresh take on conversing with our Creator.

Joel Osteen Jokes


Book Description

Joel Osteen Jokes Every week Pastor Joel Osteen likes to get started with something funny. Having a sense of humor is an important attribute for all of us to have. We all need the capacity to laugh. After all, joy is a gift from God. We all know there's more than enough negative things in the world that we hear about each and every day, either through the news media or even in our own lives and the lives of those around us. Are You a Light Hearted Person? I personally feel that we should always be looking for things that make us laugh, chuckle or smile. I like the feeling of being a "Light Hearted" person and I hope you do too. I am arguably Joel Osteen's biggest fan but rather than argue about it, I'd prefer to just give in to anyone else who feels that they are a bigger fan than me. I currently weigh about 170 pounds so if you weigh more than I do, I guess you have a valid point. Now if you found that (my corny joke) even slightly amusing, I believe that you are going to absolutely love this collection of Joel's Jokes that I have put together all in one place that you can read in one sitting if you'd like. And if you're like me, you'll enjoy telling them just as much as reading them. Joel states upfront that the jokes are not doctrinally correct... that they're just to make us laugh so I too want to mention that here. Chapter Headings Included Are: • Ladies Joel Heard About • Men Joel Heard About • Ministers and Pastors • Miscellaneous You could use a good laugh right about now, couldn't you? You could be laughing within minutes. See you on the inside.
