How To Pray In The Spirit $11.99 “John Bunyan was imprisoned in 1660 for “unlicensed” preaching in Bedford, England. Besides composing his classic work, Pilgrim’s Progress, during twelve years of intermittent confinement, Bunyan also learned that the only way to glorify God in his sufferings was to pray often and pray devoutly. His thoughts and meditations on prayer were forged on the anvil of religious persecution, and it was from prison that he wrote “true prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of your heart and soul to God.”" |

How to Pray Always [Softcover] $10.95 Now you, too, can learn to “Pray without ceasing”. Christ urges us to pray without ceasing, but when we try to do so, many of us simply cease without praying. We’re distracted by troubles or duty or we quit just because it’s late already and we’re tired. Fr. Raoul Plus’s no-nonsense prayer manual, How to Pray Always , remedies these problems by dispelling the false notions of prayer we all have and showing how we can, in fact, pray without ceasing — even at times when exhaustion cripples us and cares threaten to sweep us away. Drawing on the experience of dozens of saints, Fr. Plus explains sure ways we can recollect ourselves before prayer so that once we begin to pray, our prayers will be richer and more productive; he teaches us how to practice interior silence habitually, even in the rush and noise of the world; and he explains each of the kinds of prayer and shows when we should — and should not — employ each. As humans, our minds are limited and it’s generally hard for us to pay attention to more than a few things at once. That’s why most of us aren’t able to think of God or pray while we fulfill any but the most mindless of our daily duties. No problem. For such busy occasions (which constitute most of the time for most of us), Fr. Plus explains how we can pray without words by keeping our wills united to God even when our minds must be directed elsewhere. In other words, How to Pray Always is one of those rare books that actually fulfills the promise of its title. It helps us become better Christians by showing us how to know, to love, and to serve God, and to live prayerfully and constantly in His loving presence. Contents Part One: The Principles of Prayer 1. Learn to be recollected 2. Submit your will to God’s will 3. Practice interior silence Part Two: The Practice of Prayer 4. Learn how to pray well 5. Turn everything into prayer 6. Develop a spirit of prayer Conclusion |

What can be done to promote personal healing or the healing of others?

12 Step Prayers for A Way Out $7.99 “12 Step Prayers for A Way Out” is an insightful collection of prayers and inspirational readings. It is a practical and spiritual tool for anyone currently working a twelve-step program. It can be used alone or as a companion to the best selling workbook, “The 12 Steps-A Way Out,” or “The Twelve Steps for Adult Children.” Either of the suggested companion books offer help for individuals who are seeking to identify and resolve painful issues from their past.It contains an extensive collection of prayers and inspirational readings for people in twelve-step programs and reinforces the power of prayer as part of the recovery journey. Reliance on a Higher Power through prayer is an important key to success in any twelve-step program. But prayer doesn’t come easily for many of us. Many of us see the wisdom and effectiveness of the Twelve Steps, but we sometimes balk when we come to “Sought through prayer and mediation…” prescribed in Step Eleven. We may question the usefulness of prayer, or we may ignore the practice of it. Most resistance to prayer doesn’t come from a disbelief in God; it stems from the fact many of us were never taught how to pray.The book adapts the Twelve Steps that were developed over seventy five years ago with the formation of Alcoholic Anonymous. In this program we learn how God uses the healing power of the Twelve Steps as a way to restore the lives of countless individuals. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous carried this healing message to others, acknowledging they are people who know what it is to be broken by life and mended by God. It is dedicated to all those who found healing through the twelve-step program, and who continue to choose to share their experience, strength and hope with those still searching.For companion books refer to “The 12 Steps for Adult Children” or “The 12 Steps – A Way O |
