Book Description
The author writes: The so-called 'Lord's Prayer' is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their 'many words'. Above all, it is comprehensive, covering all the basic concerns of a Christian, while clearly indicating that these should cover God's needs (honour and loyalty) before his or her own (food and forgiveness). Even though it begins with God, whom Jesus called 'my' Father, but we must say 'our' Father, it ends with the devil: deliver us from the evil (one). It is for weekdays rather than Sundays. Try using it for a month.

Book Description
The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.

Book Description
The master key to answered prayer has nothing to do with the prayer itselfPrayer is not mysterious.It was not meant to be.Prayer is not man disturbing God. It is rather God disturbing man.Prayer is actually God calling man to come to Him.Prayer is abundance calling lack.Prayer is supply calling demand.Prayer is plenty calling few.Prayer is divinity calling humanity.It is strength calling weakness.Look at the verse below carefully: Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3The verse is clear with no ambiguity.God says we should call unto him. Who is asking who to call?Yes, you are right. God is asking us to call unto Him.That is God disturbing us to pray.He wants us to pray. He wants us to commune with Him.He wants to do things for us and with us.He is only limited because we are not praying.I understand His frustration.When you have 500 million cars and no one is asking you for just one, it becomes a thing of frustration to you.You want to bless people because it is too much for one person.It is the same with God. He is too loaded.His promise when we call unto Him is simple.He says He will answer us.God is more willing to give to us than we are willing to receive from Him.That is what makes Him a generous God.Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.James 1:5He gives liberally, he gives generously.If He is your God, you have all the confidence to approach Him.This book will make you a master in receiving 100% answers to prayer.

Book Description
The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.
