Many of us give up on prayer when we don't get the answer we want WHEN we want it. For nearly two decades, Saint Monica prayed for her wayward son. Years and years of prayers, seemingly unanswered. Countless tears shed with no relief. Yet she would not give up. That very act of persistent prayer blessed the entire Church, for we have all benefitted from the conversion of her son, Augustine, who became one of the most revered saints of all time. Parents of any age or at any stage can cultivate the same virtues in prayer that Saint Monica discovered during her long wait for God's answer for her child. This devotion includes 18 contemporary reflections, meditations taken from the writings of Saint Augustine, and prayers adapted from the liturgy and other ancient sources. Don't give up. Persistence in prayer can change everything-for you, your children, and maybe even the world.

What if we prayed how Jesus taught us to? Many of us pray with little heart. We mutter the usual and leave with little expectation. But is this how Jesus taught us to pray? The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer according to God’s will, a prayer that beckons heaven to crash into earth. Tied to the sure promises of God, it compels us to seek—and expect—His glory in every sphere. When one prays consistently, persistently, and boldly for the hallowing of God’s holy name, big things happen. Radical Prayer gives us a glimpse of the transformative and explosive power of praying in God’s will, a power that takes place internally and manifests externally. Whether your prayer life is strong or in shambles, Radical Prayer will compel you to a life of bold, persistent, transformative, and expectant prayer.

Christians are hooked on pornography. The homosexual agenda is finding acceptance even in the church. Divorce is on the rise in the church. Human trafficking is manifesting as the ugly side of globalization. Those who were once considered great leaders are now preaching a doctrine of inclusion, with Christian who leaders or that are afraid to say on national television that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

And God is raising up a prophetic people who will help prepare the way for His purposes in our generation.

Embark on a 40-day journey following in the footsteps of this remarkable man of faith, and take up the challenge to grow personally and spiritually in life and leadership. Learn the lessons of life and leadership that brought Moses from the baby in a basket of bulrushes to the bulwark of faith on the battlefront. God called Moses from the brink of death to the pinnacle of power in Pharaohs house of privilege. Then from the pinnacle of power and privilege, Moses fled to the humble and desolate sands of the desert wilderness. And then after 40 years of being molded by Gods Spirit, Moses responded to the call to lead the Israelites from slavery to freedom, from defeat to victory, from bondage to promise--not because of his abilities, but because of the transforming power of faith in God and the promises of God.
