Prayer


Book Description

Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God's mind or ours or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer. Polls reveal that 90 percent of people pray. Yet prayer, which should be the most nourishing and uplifting time of the believer's day, can also be frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, bestselling author of What's So Amazing About Grace? Philip Yancey probes such questions as: Is God listening? What should I pray for? If God knows everything, what's the point of prayer? If my prayers go unanswered, is there something wrong with my faith? Why does God sometimes seem close and sometimes seem far away? How can I make prayer more satisfying? In this powerful classic of spiritual insight and investigation, Yancey tackles the tough questions about the mystery of prayer and, in the process, comes up with a fresh new approach to this timeless topic. "I have learned to pray as a privilege, not a duty," writes Yancey, and he invites you to join him on this all-important journey.

Culture, Crisis and America's War on Terror


Book Description

Since the infamous events of 9/11, the fear of terrorism and the determination to strike back against it has become a topic of enormous public debate. The 'war on terror' discourse has developed not only through American politics but via other channels including the media, the church, music, novels, films and television, and therefore permeates many aspects of American life. Stuart Croft suggests that the process of this production of knowledge has created a very particular form of common sense which shapes relationships, jokes and even forms of tattoos. Understanding how a social process of crisis can be mapped out and how that process creates assumptions allows policy-making in America's war on terror to be examined from new perspectives. Using IR approaches together with insights from cultural studies, this book develops a dynamic model of crisis which seeks to understand the war on terror as a cultural phenomenon.




Mission Nannys


Book Description

Discover Your Part in the Ministry of Mission Nannys! Mission Nannys was started by Betty Sullins in 1991, after she personally traveled to help international missionaries with domestic duties of the home. Her eyes were opened to just how much her "at home" help meant to the families, allowing them more time to serve Christ on the field. Mission Nannys serves individuals and families in a variety of ways. Specific assignments provide the opportunity to join active field missionaries with a particular gift and calling in order to fill a need. What this book aims to do is to show you how God used the vision of one woman, Betty Sullins, to bring about the domestic needs of missionary families with the excitement of travel and seeing the world. Hopefully, by the end of it, you will look at your future with optimism, and possibly be more prepared for what God has in store for you too!
