Through this book, the author would like to share how powerful prayers are, how God answers prayers, told from the authors own experience, and how God can pull us out from emptiness, darkness, and sadness to complete joy. For a prayer to be effective, we just have to be simply true to God when we pray. Speak your heart out. Cry if you think you feel like crying. Or even burst out into a cry. Just say a heartfelt, soulful, sincere prayer. Also together in this book are Gods stories of His amazing power, unconditional love, forgiveness, mercy, saving grace, healing, awesome miracles, and provision that helped me strengthen my trust, hope, faith, and love to our heavenly Father. James 5:16: The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

In times of crisis and confusion, Dr. Charles Stanley has learned the one phrase that can carry him through: "God, You are in control." The peace he has experienced in life stems from that foundational belief. In Finding Peace, Dr. Stanley shares with readers how they, too, can experience an unshakeable peace which "passes all understanding." Filled with encouragement to lift the soul, Finding Peace offers insight on what causes us to live without God's peace in our lives, and how we can reverse course and open our hearts to receive it. Also, Stanley gives his perspective on the things that hinder peace-including the "Four Great Hallmarks of God's Peace" and "Five Essential Beliefs for a Peaceful Heart"-to put the important message of this book into concrete terms. Addressing regret, anxiety, and fear, Dr. Stanley extends hope for overcoming the obstacles that block peace with the Lord. Finally, he gives direction on learning to live a life of contentment.

Jesus is Lord over everything. So his lordship should shape every aspect of life. But what impact does faith really have on our day-today existence? And how should we, as Christians, interact with the culture? In Every Square Inch, Bruce Ashford skillfully navigates such questions. Drawing on sources like Abraham Kuyper, C.S. Lewis, and Francis Schaeffer, he shows how our faith is relevant to all dimensions of culture. The gospel informs everything we do. We cannot maintain the artificial distinction between "sacred" and "secular." We must proclaim Jesus with our lips and promote him with our lives, no matter what cultural contexts we may find ourselves in.
