Yesterday I introduced to your our upcoming Prayer Challenge for the month of July. This includes everyone in the Grace Church family being encouraged to pick up and read a good book on prayer. On our church website we have a list of 16 books recommend by our staff and Elders. I shared 4 of these books with you yesterday. Below are the final 12 titles. Be sure to go to our website (http://www.meetgrace.org/) which contains links where you can order one of these books for July! If you want to be a leader you have to be a reader – so let’s all read about prayer in July!
Too Busy Not To Pray by Bill Hybels
Recommended by John Kegarise, Elder Board Chairman – “Too Busy Not To Pray by Bill Hybels is an excellent book because it is practical, deals with the struggle to be consistent in prayer and gives you a way to overcome the common obstacles to prayer and instructs you how to pray.”
The Great House Of God: A Home For Your Heart by Max Lucado
Recommended by Tim Auld, Executive Pastor – “This book is a simple read that allows the reader to see their prayer life visually through the lens of a home. It is a very practical read that allows the reader to put into place some tangible steps that to engage the very heart of God by making room for Him in your heart (home) through times of prayer (talking with Him).”
Handle With Prayer by Charles Stanley
Recommended by Dan Buch, Elder Board Member – “This short book gives a practical understanding of prayer, including chapters on Praying with Authority, Why Our Prayers Are Unanswered, and A Time to Wait, a Time to Act. It is a good book to help improve our prayer lives.”
Together In Prayer: Coming To God In Community by Andrew Wheeler
Recommended by Steve Burghart, Pastor of Connections – “Lots of us know how to pray privately, but what happens when we come together as God’s people and ‘pray together?’ Wheeler addresses the fundamentals of prayer (individual, corporate, and community). He also explains why and how community prayer needs to differ from individual prayer in a crowd. This is a great book for small groups to do together so that they can faithfully pray in unity as the Bible instructs us. Each chapter ends with group discussion questions.”
