Book Description
God wants us to share our lives and our hearts with him. In this updated and expanded edition of a spiritual classic, Christian Brother Joseph Schmidt gently leads us to recognize that honest reflection before God on the ordinary experiences of our lives is the very means of our spiritual growth. As we speak to God about our personal story, we can explore the significance of our unrest, our joys, our fears, and our hopes. Then the Holy Spirit will lead us to self-knowledge and the freedom to accept and appreciate ourselves and our lives as they are. This book goes beyond any specific way of praying to the very heart of prayer: intimacy with God. - Valuable for any Christian, no matter where they are in their faith journey. - Helps readers view distractions in prayer as opportunities to draw closer to God. - Makes a thoughtful gift.

Book Description
Life’s inevitable difficulties and disappointments can discourage us from praying, but our response should be to pray anyway and keep praying. Whatever we seek, God invites us to come to Him with confidence, believing that He is able to answer—and He will answer. We can pray for: Forgiveness like David Wisdom like Solomon Healing like Hezekiah A child like Hannah Deliverance like Jonah Mercy like the 10 lepers Salvation like the thief on the cross But are you convinced that prayer works, even when you don’t get the answers you want? In It Happens After Prayer, Pastor HB Charles, Jr. motivates and encourages us to respond to the challenges of life with prayer, to pray without ceasing, and to pray with great expectations. Are you ready for a new level of earnest, passionate, God-size prayers? Don’t let another day go by without praying and seeking the face of God, because it happens after prayer.

Book Description
This book covers the whole man and how to align the body, soul and spirit as one. Your purpose and calling are tied together. As you discover your purpose, you will then discover your calling. Your purpose is inside, and your calling is outward. This book will assist you in the process of preparing first the foundation which begins in the soul. The reason people are so unhappy in what they do is that they have not discovered their God-given purpose inwardly, which is revealed by the Holy Spirit. Our purpose is internal and eternal; our souls are also internal and eternal. God-given purpose has to do solely with man's soul. It first begins with the soul, then outward to one's calling. It is important to first develop the soul's purpose as the soul houses the character of the man. Man's character will affect positively or negatively man's calling. This is the process that the Holy Spirit takes God's people through as He did with Jesus in the wilderness to test His character; that is, His soul.
