Prayer is hard. Often, unless circumstances demand it—such as an illness or saying grace before a meal—most of us simply do not pray. This kind of prayerlessness can leave us with a distressed spirit and practical unbelief characterized by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual depression. A Praying Life is a prayer guide that has encouraged thousands of Christians to pursue a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. A life of prayer invites you to a life of connection to God.

That is not Biblical. Miracles and healings are the inheritance of every believer in Jesus—both to receive them and operate in them!

Fr. Robert Spitzer, President of Gonzaga University and a highly regarded spiritual teacher and writer, presents a practical, yet rich guide for helping busy people develop a regular and deeper prayer life.

When God speaks, darkness trembles and death shudders; his voice is the most powerful force in the universe! And he has given his children the mandate to declare what he speaks, to say what he says. It's time for believers to counter the attacks of the enemy - always the liar - with God's word of truth and bring freedom to the captives. In this biblically rich exploration of God's prophetic word, apostolic leader and prophet Jane Hamon inspires and instructs listeners to partner with God for the breakthroughs they need.

What does it mean to make your case in the “courts of Heaven?” In recent years, God has raised up Robert Henderson as a prophetic voice, calling Christians to pursue breakthrough by using the courts of Heaven prayer blueprint. God is more willing to answer our prayers than we will ever know! The problem is that we face a legalistic accuser and adversary - the devil - who wants to prevent these prayers from coming to pass. Your victory against him is not fought on a battlefield; it’s won in the courtroom. When your prayers are answered, God’s purposes are fulfilled on the Earth.

This excellent basic guide can help beginners and longtime Christians alike build their faithfulness to pray and to experience God's power as never before, then apply it in their lives, in their homes, and in the world at large.

Today, many Christians desperately cry out to God, pleading for Him to send spiritual awakening. But there is a realm of effective prayer that can tip the heavenly prayer bowls to release the historic revival we all desire. Throughout church history, the great saints and revivalists knew that true revival begins with a groan of awakening from the heart of hungry believers! Corey Russell, best-selling author and key ministry leader at Upper Room Dallas, joins with Billy Humphrey, director of GateCity Church, to offer a timely book on spiritual preparation that releases revival.

Do you long to truly know Jesus—to experience Him in a way that goes beyond theology, sermons, and historical accounts? To hear His voice, feel His presence, and connect your heart to His? The good news of the Good News is that He did more than redeem you: His life, death, resurrection, and ascension mean that you are intimately united with Him—both now and throughout eternity.

In this unique exploration of the Rosary, former protestant pastor and Catholic convert Keith Nester takes listeners on a journey through the mysteries of the Rosary that will help them truly enter into this life-changing prayer.

"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.

God Is for Real addresses the questions: What is God like? Why are things the way they are in spite of who God is? If Todd's first book, Heaven Is for Real, was about the then and there of heaven, God Is for Real is about the here and now on earth: Why are there are so many hypocritical church people? Why do Christians make such a big deal about the cross? Why doesn't God seem to answer our biggest prayers?

Do you yearn for a consistent prayer life? Do you struggle with distraction when praying alone, timidity when praying with others, or knowing where to start in either setting? Best-selling writer and beloved speaker Chrystal Evans Hurst knows both the freedom and blessing of establishing and growing a lively prayer life and how difficult it can be when prayer itself feels foreign to our daily lives. The Bible tells us that prayer is essential for an intimate and thriving relationship with God, and it's well worth the time and effort it deserves.

Father Jonathan Morris has seen firsthand how our day-to-day lives are consumed with anxiety and stress as we focus on our failures and troubles while peace feels unattainable. When he rediscovered the Serenity Prayer, he realized that this little prayer can be a powerful road map for our spiritual journey toward God. As he began to share this prayer with others, he saw that living these simple lines became a source of profound peace and happiness.

What if intimacy with God doesn't begin with us knocking at God's door but with God knocking down ours? In Learning to Be Loved, author and Spoken Gospel CEO David Bowden and Hobby Lobby's Mart Green remind us that spiritual growth starts not with our giving but with our receiving. Learning to Be Loved unites biblical rigor and personal experience to show that intimacy with God isn't based on our ability to connect with him—but on all the ways he is constantly connecting with us.

The God I know is gentle and my friend, and yet he is also fierce and formidable, as his words carry power to raise the dead. He sees his masterpiece and says it’s good, but as he’s given us the ability to interact with him, with our words, I sense the humility and the honour to co-labour with God himself. Declarations that carry the thunder of Heaven. When it comes to prayer, many believers don’t know where to begin. But what if your prayers were transformed from a one-sided conversation into a dynamic, supernatural encounter with the King of Heaven?
