Many Christians crave something more from their prayer time. We pray knowing that God hears and answers our prayers, but we also know that prayer should be something more than recited phrases and personal wish lists. God wants prayer to become vital to everything we do. Using Scripture passages, applications, and a prayer guide, "Praying with Purpose" is a five-week study designed to teach believers how to pray without ceasing. Perfect for church use, small groups, or individual study.

"I have discovered that there is only one thing worse than sitting at your desk on Monday not knowing what to preach Sunday, and that's sitting at your desk on Saturday not knowing what to preach Sunday!" This practical book by an experienced pastor and preaching professor provides the solution to this all-too-common pastoral dilemma--and clearly shows the busy pastor how to move beyond week-to-week sermon preparation into long-term planning for a truly effective pulpit ministry. Planning Your Preaching helps every pastor address areas of special need within the congregation, ensure regular preaching on key doctrines, incorporate holidays, and integrate biblical themes into the ongoing education of the congregation. An indispensable resource, Planning Your Preaching offers a field-tested, easily adaptable method for developing a comprehensive preaching ministry.
