Pixie Dust and a Prayer


Book Description




Lead with Prayer


Book Description

Discover the prayer habits of world-changing ministry leaders that will transform your life and your leadership. Experienced leaders will tell you that you can’t lead on your own. The pressure, the impossible decisions, the high risks, the temptations, the people, the overwhelming schedule—it’s too much. Some leaders seek outside help. They pray. Looking for help in their own leadership, entrepreneur Ryan Skoog, CEO Peter Greer, and executive advisor Cameron Doolittle set out to investigate how leaders pray. What do they say to God? How often do they pray, and for how long? Where do they pray? And how on earth do they make time for prayer? Skoog, Greer, and Doolittle spent three years researching. They logged over one hundred hours of interviews with leaders in six continents who collectively serve in over one hundred countries. They researched or spoke with global entrepreneurs and business executives of Fortune 500 companies, as well as some of the most influential pastors and ministry leaders in the world—leaders such as Joni Eareckson Tada Francis Chan John Mark Comer Christine Caine David Green Mark Batterson Among countless others. Here in this book, the authors share the spiritual habits, techniques, and practices of these world-changing leaders, revealing specific details of their prayer lives. In addition, the book includes prayers for leaders to use in their own prayer time as well as tools for how to cultivate a personal and organizational commitment to prayer. By allowing these men and women to lead us in prayer, we learn not only how to pray but also how to build a culture of prayer wherever we lead. It is only when our businesses, ministries, and churches pray that they will be transformed.




Wonderstruck


Book Description

We Were Created for WonderYou were created and designed to experience wonder. Woven into the fabric of our humanity is an innate ability and desire for the wonder of God. It's felt in the moments when you watch the sun melt behind the horizon, when you reach out to cradle a baby and smell the sweet scent of new life, when you can't help but smile as you witness two wrinkled souls renew their vows to each other. Such moments remind us we were made for something more than deadlines and debt, carpools and coffee breaks. Yet despite such wondrous moments, we can still find ourselves going through the motions of faith. Whether you're: A long time follower of Jesus or still figuring Him out. Unemployed, overly-employed, or an entrepreneur. A creator, innovator, or conformist. Grumpy, ebullient, grey-haired or bed-head. An average Joe or have-a-gym-membership-but-never-go. A superhero (of any era), supermom, superdad, super grand, super great grand, or don't feel particularly super at all No matter who you are or where you've been-if you've lived a life where you've seen it all, done it all, or feel like you're past it all-God still longs to take your breath away. Isaiah 29:4 records God's desire for you: "Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder." Do you see it? God is busting at the seams to display His glory, power, and might in your life. And He wants to give you the greatest gift of all-Himself. Yet why do we pass by the wonder of God unaware?




Prayer That Changes Everything

For many, prayer is only a matter of blessing their food, asking for help during a crisis, or whispering a need when they feel they are at the end of their rope. Unfortunately, this barely scratches the surface of the prayer life God wants to share with us. In Prayer That Changes Everything, Mary Colbert unpacks five principles to revolutionize readers’ faith and help them experience the full dimension of the relationship they can have with God through prayer. She challenges readers to: Recognize that faith is alive and must be in action Live with a faith that excites God Realize that faith is the substance of all things See the thing they want God to do as done and begin to praise Him for it; and know that love is the fuel Whether a new believer or a longtime Christian, each reader will find accessible, fresh insights into prayer and practical wisdom that will revitalize his or her prayer life and transform his or her relationship with God.

PIXIE DUST AND THE MEANING OF LIFE


Book Description

What if you could make your wishes come true, but what you really want is to find true, lasting happiness, a meaning and purpose to life, what would your wish actually be? Mira sets out on a chain of journeys to discover the meaning of life and what makes her happy. This book combines heartfelt reality and questions and problems and struggles we all face with philosophical, spiritual guidance and meaning. Mira wakes up one morning to find she has a new friend, a wish-fulfilling angel, Pixie. Pixie can grant Mira any wish she likes, however at first Mira is not sure how to best use this gift. Through a bit of soul searching she realises that her most heart-felt wish, both as a child and as an adult, is to figure out what she should make of her life and how she should live it, so that she can be happy and fulfilled all the time. And so starts a string of journeys, made possible by Pixie. Mira gets to experience a multitude of different worlds and lives, during which she learns and understands what drives her, human beings and life, why people feel and act the way they do, and how they can find a sense of peace and joy, no matter what their outer circumstances. She is supported by Pixie through her numerous adventures and her quest takes her to unexpected places, some beautiful, some disturbing. The worlds vary from places of heavenly beauty, to those holding sterile and emotionless lives, from spiritual schools to ones that blast harsh reality. Mira discovers the Song of the Spirit, the Bhagavad Gita, which shines an illuminating light on the world, human nature, the meaning of life, death and suffering, on her soul, mind, and her very being. She experiences joy and sadness, confusion and understanding, support and disappointment. Her adventures never cease to surprise and entertain. And journey by journey, she understands more and realises that the answers to her questions are within herself and that she houses a heart that can shine through any darkness, if she lets it.




A House of Prayer


Book Description

A House of Prayer begins with a personal story: a moment of a deep sense of isolation and spiritual distress that gives way to a deep sense of abiding connectedness and community. That movement from isolation to serenity by means of praying together, spiritually or physically, is the emphasis of this book. Steagald believes that praying together allows the church to become "one," as Jesus intended, and the "Body" St. Paul described. The author incorporates memoir, travelogue, reflection on scripture, church history, and psychology as he builds a compelling case for congregations to put more focus on praying as a community.
