Only prayer gives us the deeper intimacy with God that we were created to enjoy. And now Germaine Copeland helps believers discover a more intimate relationship with God through the daily prayer devotional, 365 Days to a Prayer-Filled Life (Multnomah Books, on shelves October 5, 2010).
From the beloved author of Prayers That Avail Much® comes fresh inspiration for powerful living that will take readers on a day-by-day prayer excursion to God’s heart. Germaine encourages believers to make the primary goal of prayer unbroken fellowship with the eternal God of heaven and earth, and not to view Him as merely a “Great Vending Machine in the Sky.” The book unpacks core biblical themes such as joy, unity, spiritual gifts, overcoming fear, the Holy Spirit, walking in love, and the power of words, while helping readers understand the purpose of prayer. Each daily entry includes a devotional message, Scripture-based prayer, and suggested Bible reading.
365 Days to a Prayer-Filled Life will remind readers everyday that prayer can make a difference, God’s promises are true, and His mercies are new every morning. For those longing for a deeper, more intimate relationship with their Father, this book will help believers reconnect with God through a vibrant prayer life!

Brian McLaren. The Voice of Luke: Not Even Sandals. Thomas Nelson, 2007. 224 pp.
Remember when I sent you out with no money, no pack, not even sandals? Did you lack anything?
(Luke 22:35)

Eugene H. Peterson. Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading. Eerdmans, 2006. 186 pp.
Eugene Peterson is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read it. Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and “truths” that we can use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience?
The second part of Peterson’s momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology, Eat This Book challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as God’s revelation, and to live them as we read them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading.
