| Do you suffer the pain of a loved one gone astray? Quinn Sheerer amd Ruthanne Garlock have both kept a light in the window for the return of prodigal children. But they did not wait passively, helplessly wringing their hands, paralyzed by fear and despair. Instead, they battled for their children in prayer and trusting that, ultimately, almighty God would intervene, returning the prodigals to their parents' arms. The enemy uses many worldly temptations to lure our young people away from their Christian values and upbringing. This book reminds us that for those of faith, victory is always within our grasp and that our loved ones are eternally dear to His heart. |

| Praying the Book of Revelation doesn't tell the reader how to worship it focuses on the heart—not the head—so people will feel the reality of worship and will worship God. People will worship as they read. The primary focus in the book of Revelation is worshiping Him in Heaven, not the judgments on earth. Since worshiping God is our primary purpose in Heaven, we should learn to do it as we approach the end of time. Is God awakening the church to worship because that is the primary function in heaven and God is preparing His people for Heaven? |

| We all want to know Jesus better, so we read about Him in the Gospels. But in the book Praying the Gospels, we not only learn about Him, but we learn how to talk to Him as we read the Gospels. The author, Elmer Towns brings a unique perspective to the four Gospels, translating them directly from the Greek and combining them into one continuous whole. He then expands them and infuses color by including information about the authors, the culture and the religious practices of the day. Meticulously researched and written, this reads like the story of the greatest life every lived. As with his other Praying the Bible books, Towns adds many opportunities to pray as he adds a My Time to Pray page which draws from the key points of the chapter, and uses them to springboard into a specific prayer, relating to what has just been read. Praying The Gospels is another wonderful book to help God’s people grow closer to Him and in Him. Dr. Elmer Towns is a college and seminary professor, an author of popular and scholarly works having published over 100 books. In 1995 he received the prestigious Gold Medallion Award for The Names of the Holy Spirit. He and his wife of 54 years, Ruth, have three children and ten grandchildren. |

| Praying is a problem for many people. Christians often go through the motions of prayer because it is expected of them, but they are often left wondering, "Did God hear me? Does he even care?"In his book Praying the Lord's Prayer, an excerpt from Growing in Christ, J. I. Packer presents a powerful truth: prayer is a natural activity between the Heavenly Father and his children. As Packer works through each phrase of Christ's pattern of prayer, readers will begin to grasp the basic principles and guidelines of prayer. As readers apply the truths of this book to their prayer lives, they will experience intimate communication with God and will strengthen their own conversations with their Father in heaven. |

| Towns reveals the power of prayer in this fascinating look at the Lord's Prayer. Each chapter examines a line from the Prayer, revealing power points for every believer desiring a more dynamic prayer life. Towns says: "What would you say if you were ushered into the throne room of God with only one minute to request everything you needed, but didn't know how to put it into words? The Lord's Prayer includes everything you need to ask when you talk to God . . . it is a model prayer that teaches us how to pray." |
