The result is a fresh understanding of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer. This deeply devotional book will refresh and stimulate the heart and mind of any listener.

Tell It Slant explores how Jesus used language—he was earthy, not abstract; metaphorical, not dogmatic. His was not a direct language of information or instruction but an indirect, oblique language requiring a participating imagination—"slant" language. In order to witness and teach accurately in Jesus' name, then, it is important for us to use language the way he did.

"Our Father, who art in heaven...." The opening words of the Lord's Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord's Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God's reign over all things in heaven and on earth.

"SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION? Well I have a few minutes I suppose. A conversation with whom? With God? Listen, I’m not sure… . Oh, I don’t have to start the conversations. He is really good at that. Well, yes, I suppose He is. All right, here goes… ." This is the invitation the author accepted, and readers of this book are invited to join in these conversations and grow in their own daily conversations with the Lord. This book of conversations is based on three passages chosen by the author from each chapter of the New Testament. The idea of having conversations with the Lord ...

This preliminary study explores the concept and practice of prayer found in the writings of six major Stoic philosophers from the ancient world: Zeno, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. Placing these writers in their context within the evolution of Stoic philosophy, and in their socio-religious and historical context, McDowell then characterizes the nature, purpose, and practices of Stoic prayer. A brief comparison with prayer from the New Testament closes the study.

I wrote this book for myself as a personalized prayer guide. I also offer it to pastors, missionaries, board members of Christian organizations and anyone who feels the desire to cultivate a more effective prayer life with a little coaching from the Holy Spirit who inspired the writers of the New Testament to pass on the lessons they learned in the field of ministry during the greatest ...

Is gospel Christianity dead? Pundits are writing the obituary of historic, orthodox Christianity, but pastor and author J. D. Greear (Gospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The church is not going away. Along with this promise, Jesus gave clear instructions for how the church would prevail. He promised to build it on the rock of the gospel.

The reason for this audiobook is to help us pray through the transformed life required by the New Testament. Many of the prayers in this book are those that I have benefited from immensely and others can testify to the power that is released when we pray these prayers!

Mankind lives in an analog universe, the Physical World, where there is time, gravity, speed, distance, and location. Comparisons and communication of physical properties are the only world we know. Everything is on a continuum, from small to large, from minor to serious, from near to far. Time is our ruler. But God lives in a digital world of right and wrong, good and bad, sinful or sinless. There is no in between. The Spiritual Realm has no time, location, weight, or distance. God, and Christ with Him, can be everywhere at once, God was not created and will not die, there are no ...

THE great fact of the Old Testament is the fact of God. Amid all life's uncertainties He was to the devout Hebrew the supreme certainty, the great Person with whom one had always to reckon. His presence might be radiantly manifested in the material blessings of this life — in the grain, the wine, and the oil, in peace and prosperity, and other such things dear to the ancient Hebrew heart; or He might seem to stand afar off and hide His face. But always He was felt to be somewhere; happiness lay in being near Him, and His friendship was the most precious thing in the world. Thus nothing ...

One of the world’s leading theologians and biblical scholars introduces the prayer that Jesus gave us. ‘Our Father, who art in heaven …’ When he saw Jesus praying, one of his followers asked him to teach them how to pray. Jesus instructed them in the right words to use. When we say the words of the ‘Our Father’ we pray not only as Jesus taught us but also (in part) we pray in the same way Jesus himself prayed. We are bonded to him in prayer.
