Sinopse

For most of us, prayer is a struggle. Do our prayers even matter? What, if anything, happens when we pray? Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves? 
 
We know we should pray. It would be good for us--help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can feel like a cosmic waste of time.  
 
In this thoughtful book, bestselling author Addison Bevere takes you into and through the tension of prayer--the struggles, the doubts, the answers--to the place where God makes himself real to you. He tackles questions such as: 
 
● What do we do with unanswered prayers and how do we move through them?  
● Why does God invite us to ask through prayer if he is aware of every need?  
● Is there a right way to pray? If so, what is it? 
● How do we learn to hear the Voice of God? 
 
Tired of boring, empty, transactional prayer? This is the book for you.

    The realities of life is that it has its challenges and nobody is excluded from its vicissitude as Isaiah through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit prophesied (putting it succinctly) in Isaiah 43:2 “when (not ‘if’) you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” And King Nebuchadnezzar, it was in Daniel chapter 3 verse 24 who observed in practical terms what Isaiah prophesied. There is no accident in this life (i.e things just don’t happen), nothing happens without God knowing about it, He either directs or permits it (Matt. 10:29 & 30), hence the need to factor Him in, in whatsoever situations or circumstances you are expecting recovery from and this is what this book is about. The book is about how the Almightiness of God can be brought to bear on any given unpleasantries in your life and is, therefore, a must read, and a good resource tool for every sincere and serious minded Christian.

    You are a good work in process--God's process. 
     
    Our world demands faster speeds, quicker deliveries. We want change now, transformation in a moment. But God, who spoke galaxies into existence with a single word, took seven days to bring about His full and magnificent creation--and He takes His time with us. 
     
    Peeling back the layers of God's creative process, Rick DuBose shows how, just as God reached into that dark and chaotic mess to form space and time, He reaches into the mess of our lives, initiating a process that transforms us into masterpieces. Through practical application and biblical insight, DuBose empowers you to 
    · understand and embrace God's process modeled in the seven days of creation 
    · stop resisting the Holy Spirit's work and partner with Him 
    · prepare for and recognize the seasons of change and growth in your life 
    · cultivate patience, appreciation, and perseverance 
     
    God took His time creating this world, layering on new complexities and drawing out order from the chaos. So, too, is He forming you into something truly good.

    Death comes too soon for some and too late for others, but in the end it does come for us all. Yet we spend much of our lives ignoring it, fearing it, or attempting to postpone it. But if death is inescapable, how should Christians prepare? 
    Centuries ago, medieval Christians developed a guide to dying well known as "the art of dying" (ars moriendi, in Latin) that the Protestant Reformers developed further. In this compassionate and hopeful book, Robert Kolb recovers and adds to this rich tradition to help Christians face the shadow of death in the light of the resurrection. 
    Reflecting on Scripture, hymns, and his own personal experience, he walks with you through the valley, reminding you every step of the way that the risen Jesus shines brighter than the thickest darkness. If you have received a dire diagnosis, are walking alongside the dying, or are simply trying to come to grips with your own mortality and wisely number your days, Kolb will show you how to focus on the comfort provided by our risen Lord, who alone has the words of life.
