Journey to the Cross: A 40-Day Lenten Devotional

Paul David Tripp

Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we re-evaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Saviour? In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus.

Sharing the Easter Story: From Reading to Living the Gospel

Sally Welch

In this BRF Lent book Sally Welch explores two questions: What is the Easter story really about, and how do we share it? Through each week of Lent, a different aspect of the Easter story is examined: repenting, changing, hoping, trusting, forgiving, loving and sacrificing. Within each week, the days are focused on what we need to do in order to share the story: listening, understanding, reflecting, living, telling, sharing and becoming. Each day offers a Bible passage, followed by a reflection and prayer activity.

Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer

Prayer is the source of Jesus' most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus' most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined.

Searching for Enough: The High-Wire Walk Between Doubt and Faith

Do you ever find yourself thinking, 'I'm not enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to say this, but God's not enough for me either.'? Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us to Jesus' disciple Thomas: history's most notorious sceptic. Like Thomas, we are caught between two unsatisfying stories: we want to believe in God but can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal struggles. But what if there's a God who can heal your resentments, fears and loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the presence of the living God.

Approaching the Almighty: 100 Prayers of A. W. Tozer

Phil Shappard

Is there a holier moment than when a preacher steps into the pulpit and opens the Scriptures before the people of the Lord? A. W. Tozer certainly understood the gravity and sanctity of that moment. His pulpit prayers reflect the holy awe that he experienced as he stood before God and the gathered congregation. Although Tozer fans are familiar with his writings and sermons, now for the first time, Approaching the Almighty collects the prayers that Tozer offered as he stepped into the pulpit to preach. Phil Shappard, a Moody Radio manager whose job was to remaster the audiotapes of Tozer's sermons, has collected and transcribed almost two hundred prayers that reveal the great preacher's intimate walk with God. Let Tozer's pulpit prayers guide your own heart in its steadfast pursuit of God.

Pray Big: Learn To Pray Like An Apostle

Alistair Begg

Many of us struggle with prayer. And when we do pray, we often don't know what to say. What does God want to hear about? To find the answers we need to discover how to pray as the apostle Paul did. Paul enjoyed prayer and was excited about it. He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said and to act in other people's lives. He prayed and then was 'watchful in it with thanksgiving', ready to see how God would work. This book focuses on Paul's prayer for his friends in the church in Ephesus. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers for them can motivate us to pray.
