  Praying should be as urgent and necessary to us as breathing—yet all too often we're bored by it, distracted from it, or uncertain of its purpose. We don't really know why we should pray. 
   
   
   
  We have many reasons to be excited about prayer, as Guy Richard shows us. It is the relationship glue that bonds our hearts more and more to the Lord. God commands us to pray, and he graciously answers our prayers. As we pour out our hearts to him, we and the world around us will be changed. 
   
   
   
  Informative, encouraging, and practical, this brief book will serve as a helpful primer for pastors, elders, study groups, and Christians who seek encouragement and instruction on prayer and its blessings. As do all books in the Blessings of the Faith series, this short volume concludes with answers to frequently asked and pertinent questions on the topic.

  Andrew’s toy chest is filled with wonderful things — he especially loves to put on his armor which makes him feel brave and strong. He surprises his parents with his bigger-than-life presence, goes on marvelous adventures, and embraces his role as a valiant warrior. 
  But a moment of vulnerability challenges his belief in himself, leading him to doubt his worth. He loses his confidence and questions his strength, bravery, and courage. 
  One morning, Andrew wakes up and finds a sticky note attached to the mirror that reads, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” 
  The next day a new note is stuck to his mirror — “Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage.” 
  Each morning begins with anticipation as Andrew rushes to read the new note attached to his mirror. As the years pass, his perspective changes as he is reminded of his true identity as a child of God through these scriptural affirmations. 
  But who is leaving the notes? 
  Join Andrew as he uncovers the mystery and learns the meaning behind the notes he finds on his mirror. 
  With his faith as his guide, he discovers that the greatest strength lies not in the physical armor he wears but in the unwavering love of his heavenly Father.

  Her dad said nothing could hurt their relationship. But what if he isn't her dad? 
  Summer gets off to a rocky start for twenty-year-old Rae Riley when con man Uncle Troy returns to Marlin County, Ohio. Rae's father, Sheriff Walter "Mal" Malinowski, warns her to steer clear of Troy, who conned 5 cousins from the outlaw branch of the family to jump him a few years ago. 
  But it seems like wherever Rae goes, Troy lurks on the edges. When she and her cousins find Troy beat up outside a local mall, Rae's desire to help anyone in trouble kicks in. But this only leads to trouble and the horrible conclusion that Troy might be her birth father. Even worse, Mal is angry at Rae for endangering them all. 
  Then Ashley, the ex-wife of family friend Jason Carlisle returns to the county, claiming their youngest child Sylvie isn't his, but the daughter of her new fiancé. Ashley and her boyfriend say they are staying at the state park so she can see her children. Jason fears they want to sneak a DNA sample from Sylvie and hires Rae's aunt Carrie, a PI, to protect his kids. 
  When Rae agrees to help Ashley speak to Jason secretly, Mal is furious, leading to Rae's first fight with her newly found father. Although Mal apologizes, Rae senses a gulf between. What would happen if Rae found proof Mal wasn't her dad? 
  When Ashley disappears, Jason and his brother Rick are the main suspects. Mal leads the official investigation, while Rae and Carrie work to discover what really happened, and Rae conducts her own research into Troy's claim. 
  The clues mount up and the mystery only grows murkier. As doubts grow into a storm, Rae is faced with something much worse than a puzzle--a battle to survive. And it's not just her life at stake.

  Spurgeon’s Forgotten Sabbatarianism seeks to document Charles Spurgeon’s teaching and practice on the Christian Sabbath. By looking at his biography through his Sunday activities, the reader will see how Spurgeon believed Sabbath observance required laboring for the Lord through worship, preaching, singing, evangelism, Sunday School ministry, and private devotion. Furthermore, the book shows Spurgeon’s adherence to the Second London Confession of Faith’s articles on the law of God and the Christian Sabbath. He held to the tripartite division of the law and taught all men to obey the moral law which includes the 4th commandment. Rather than seeing the Sabbath as a legalistic burden, he encouraged Christians to observe it with joy while looking with eyes of faith to the eternal Sabbath to come.
