LORD JESUS, I WANT TO SEE... Every day, the news and our personal encounters reveal we desperately need character building and moral guidance. Political correctness has tossed moral character aside in favor of appearances, charm, glamor, fame, social status, and possessions. For Father Peter Vu, this shift revealed that people today are hungry to be spiritually fed and nourished. He wrote this Prayer Book to help you develop and maintain a personal relationship with God. This Prayer Book appeals to our 21st century culture, yet it is deeply rooted in the Scriptures and Christian tradition. It provides short, easy reading each day, with a daily scripture, reflection, prayer, and resolution. This Prayer Book helps you focus on qualities that make you feel strong and good about yourself and your faith in our challenging world. Fr. Vu gives you a spiritual exercise each day to help you work on positive personal qualities. Each day’s devotion gives you a sense of prayer and helps you work on being faithful, kind, caring, gentle, generous, peaceful, and loving. In this Prayer Book, you will find a specific word or issue associated with each day, as well as a practical exercise to help you put your faith into action.

Lord Jesus, I Want to See... is a weekly prayer book to help children and families begin their week right, and encourages them to work on concepts of friendship, faith, love, generosity, forgiveness, and thankfulness. Today's youth are in desperate need of character building and moral guidance; this is key in creating good citizens and a healthy society for the next generation. Unfortunately, due to political correctness and other social trends, moral character and wholesome virtues have taken a back seat to superficial pursuits -- appearance, charm, glamour, fame, social status, and possessions. We must demand and encourage the children of this great nation and its future generations to work on and acquire the qualities and moral characteristics that help them achieve well-being and happiness. Lord Jesus, I Want to See... recognizes that gone are the days that we can demand and require our children to memorize and recite all the traditional prayers. After twenty plus years of service to God's Children, in parishes and seminary, the reflections I share above have culminated in a new format of praying and prayer. The lessons shared are rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily topics, personal experiences, character-building, and practical spiritual exercises. This devotional book is designed to be self-reflecting, easy reading, and guide each child to work on what is truly important while spending time in the presence of Jesus. Rev. Peter G. Vu

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

In his magnificent classic, Chuck Colson shakes the church from its complacency with a penetrating look at the cost of being Christian.For those who have wondered whether there isn’t more to Christianity than what they have known—and for those who have never considered the question—Loving God points the way to faith’s cutting edge. Here is a compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment—one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips away the trappings of shallow, cultural Christianity.“Looking for the complete volume on Christian living? This is it. And the title sums it up. If you desire life deep, rich, and meaningful, then it is simply Loving God.”Joni Eareckson TadaPresident, Joni and Friends

LORD JESUS, I WANT TO SEE... Watch the news, and you can see the world desperately needs moral guidance. With political correctness ruling the day, moral character and positive personal attributes have taken a back seat to appearance, charm, glamor, fame, social status, and possessions. Unfortunately, children no longer memorize Traditional Prayers. But spending time with God is one of the most important things a Christian can do. This Weekly Prayer Book helps children and families begin the week on the right note. Each of the 52 devotions includes a Scripture, a discussion, and a promise related to a specific attribute such as friendship, faith, love, generosity, forgiveness, and thankfulness. By spending time discussing Scripture, we can encourage children to embrace and reflect Christian virtues for their well-being and happiness. Having seen the needs of God’s children and their families during twenty years of service to parishes and ten years in seminary, Rev. Peter G. Vu has designed this devotional rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily topics, personal experiences, character-building, and spiritual exercises. Each weekly entry is self-reflecting, easy to read, and helps children grasp Christian qualities while spending time with Jesus. Rev. Vu hopes that our Lord Jesus will heal our spiritual blindness and help us see our lives with a better vision. May we also grow closer to Him and acquire wonderful personal qualities each day as we work to become better Christians in our challenging world. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will benefit the American Red Cross and the Catholic Relief Services, in addition to other charities.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

I have seen how the Science and Technology sectors have put lots of time and resources into their Research and Development to come up with new ways to improve and advance their businesses and our modern way of life. Following their thinking, I want to do the same for our Spirituality sector. I want to come up with a new way of prayer that is simple, personal, relate-able, character-building, and suitable to the busy lives of twenty-first-century Christians. I have also looked at various ways we have dealt with exercise for our bodies. Physical exercises designed for specific functions like Zumba, Yoga, or Abs work have inspired me to come up with a Spiritual exercise that could give people a sense of prayer, and at the same time help them work on some specific attributes such as faith, kindness, caring, gentleness, generosity, peacefulness, etc. Hence, I have chosen the format of this prayer book with a specific word or issue for each day throughout the year and a practical exercise. Each day we have seen on the news and in various personal encounters how the public is in desperate need of character building and moral guidance to help create good citizens and a healthy society. Unfortunately, due to political correctness and other social trends, the moral character and virtues have taken a backseat to other qualities such as appearance, charm, glamour, fame, social status, and material possessions. We must demand and encourage our citizens of this great nation and future generations to work on and acquire those qualities and other moral characteristics for the sake of their well-being and happiness. Finally, some of my dear friends have introduced and encouraged me to look at other forms of prayers besides the traditional ways of praying, namely, reciting some memorized prayers. After putting all the factors above together and twenty years of serving God's people in parishes and ten years of seminary training, I have come up with this format of praying that is rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily issues, personal experiences, character-building, and practical spiritual exercises. The format is designed to be self-reflecting, easy reading, and hopefully helps individuals work on essential qualities while spending some quiet time in the presence of Jesus.
