Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Take the time to sit at His feet.The Bible contains numerous models of prayers offered to God by His people. Even Jesus prayed to His Father and spent significant time in solitude listening to Him. Yet it seems that today very few Christians actually spend time with the Lord. For many, prayer has been reduced to squeezing in a few seconds to give thanks before meals and listing requests at bedtime. Still, many Christians long to develop a disciplined and meaningful prayer life but find it difficult to know where or how to begin.In Simply Praying, Patsy Lewis leads readers on a transforming 52-week prayer adventure. With gentle guidance and insight, she provides practical prayer techniques that will transform their view of prayer and strengthen their relationship with the Lord. She addresses topics such as staying focused during prayer, letting go of emotional baggage, using Scripture to pray intentionally, and how to start or enhance a prayer journal that fits each individual's needs and style.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Both torn from their homes in Laos, a boy and a moon bear cub form a deep bond in this "moving and memorable" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) tale of impossible odds and resilient hope, based on true and tragic conditions in Eastern Asia. Twelve-year-old Tam, on a dare, ventures into a moon bear den in the mountains of Northern Laos. His goal is to steal the cub and sell it, making a fortune for his family. But the mother bear's unexpected return upends Tam's plan, and he barely escapes with his life. Then his life implodes anyway: his entire mountain village is forced to relocate to make room for a new highway. Lured by the promise of electricity, running water, and a television, Tam's people move to an overcrowded village, where Tam's father is killed by a stray landmine. Now the family breadwinner, Tam is forced to work hundreds of miles away in the city of Laos, at a moon bear farm where bile from bear gall bladders is used for medicine. It is a cruel, miserable place, and when a familiar face--the very cub he'd seen in the den in Vietnam--is sold to the bear farm, Tam knows he must save this moon bear, no matter what it takes. Deeply and powerfully moving, Moon Bear is an unforgettable story of compassion, hope, and bravery against overwhelming odds, and brings to light the real-life, heartwrenching plight of Asia's endangered moon bears.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. -And Now for Something Completely Different - That phrase, the opening line for each episode of the groundbreaking British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, might well describe this book, for it is not a standard introduction to the Old Testament. This book should be treated instead as a thought experiment that investigates the question, -What does the Old Testament teach us about moral development?- The answer that I will develop over the course of the book is that it calls us to develop wisdom to live in a complex world full of competing voices. This is, in short, what I am calling the moral story of the Hebrew Bible. In fact, I will go further to suggest that reading the Old Testament as Hebrew Bible actually initiates its readers into a process of moral development, the end point of which is wisdom.…
