    Accepting God's Offer to Rest, Weep, Forgive, Wait, Remember and More

    Transforming Resources

    by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun

    Some invitations we desperately want: "Will you marry me?" "Would you consider a promotion?" Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: "What treatment do you want for your tumor?"

    Reforming Mercy Ministry

    A Practical Guide to Loving Your Neighbor

    by Ted Rivera

    "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength." This, Jesus tells us, is the greatest commandment.

    Awaken Your Senses

    Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God

    by J. Brent Bill and Beth A. Booram

    Praying When Life Hurts

    IVP Booklets

    by W. Bingham Hunter

    I cried out to God for help;
    I cried out to God to hear me.
    When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
    at night I stretched out untiring hands
    and my soul refused to be comforted.
    (Psalm 77)

    "Many Christians struggle with prayer . . . and most of us are afraid to talk about it," writes W. Bingham Hunter in the opening of this brief, honest and comforting ...
