| living on a prayer: Living Faithfully as a Prayer Book People John H. Westerhoff, 2005-01-01 Episcopalians consider themselves to be people whose individual and corporate lives are shaped by the Book of Common Prayer, but aside from worship on Sunday morning, few know what fills its nearly 1,000 pages. John Westerhoff, Episcopal priest and Christian educator, walks readers through the ways in which the contents of the Prayer Book can (and should) shape the lives of those who call themselves Episcopalians. An excellent resource for parish study or reading in advance of seminary training, Westerhoff explores a brief history of the Prayer Book, and the ways in which it shapes us as pilgrims and prayerful people. How Episcopalians live into their baptism, live a Eucharistic and reconciling life, as well as a life of wholeness and health, are explored in detail. All of this, as Westerhoff writes, helps us lead a holy life, and one day, to a holy death. |

| living on a prayer: Prayer for the Living Ben Okri, 2021-02-02 Topical and timely, Booker Prize–winning author Ben Okri’s new collection of short stories blurs parallel realities and walks the line between darkness and magic. A Library Journal Best Book of 2021 “No matter how different each story is in context or story line, Prayer for the Living is not simply a collection of different tales, it is a deliberate assemblage of universal truths that explores what it means to seek and to live.” —Los Angeles Review of Books Playful, frightening, shocking—these stories from a writer at the height of his power will make you think, or make you laugh.

| living on a prayer: A Praying Life Paul E. Miller, 2017-04-05 More than 300,000 copies sold This book will be like having the breath of God at your back. Let it lift you to new hope. --Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Bold Love This new edition includes an expanded chapter on using the practical prayer cards--a hallmark of the teaching found in A Praying Life--and a chapter on the need and use of prayers of lament. Prayer is so hard that unless circumstances demand it--an illness, or saying grace at a meal--most of us simply do not pray. We prize accomplishments and productivity over time in prayer. Even Christians experience this prayerlessness--a kind of practical unbelief that leaves us marked by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual lethargy. Prayer is all about relationship. Based on the popular seminar by the same name, A Praying Life has discipled thousands of Christians to a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. When Jesus describes the intimacy He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). A Praying Life feels like having dinner with good friends. It is the way we experience and connect to God. In A Praying Life, author Paul Miller lays out a pattern for living in relationship with God and includes helpful habits and approaches to prayer that enable us to return to a childlike faith. |
| living on a prayer: Living Prayer Robert Benson, 1999-08-02 Living Prayer is the story of Robert Benson's quest across ecumenical and denominational lines in search of windows into the mystery of prayer. Weaving a narrative about his experiences while seeking a prayerful life, he demonstrates how prayer can enter the fabric of one's existence so that life itself becomes prayer. In the manner of Madeleine L'Engle and Kathleen Norris, Benson makes the ordinary events of life seem mystical and the mystical seem ordinary. He illustrates the full power of prayer, illuminates the reasons we are drawn to pray, and bears witness to the grace of leading a life attuned to the voice of God. |

| living on a prayer: 365 Days to a Prayer-Filled Life Germaine Copeland, 2010 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. - I John 5:14-15 From the beloved author of Prayers That Avail Much® comes fresh inspiration for powerful living that will take you on a day-by-day prayer excursion toward God's heart. Why does prayer matter in your day-to-day life?

| living on a prayer: Living on the Other Side Lisa M. Hess, 2025-05-15 Living on the Other Side recounts and aims to redress the unspoken, largely unconscious abandonment of the Feminine in ecclesial and academic settings through an economic trinity of voices: a feminist with a forgiveness problem; a conscious feminine theologian serving in academic and ecclesial environments (un)consciously hostile to the Feminine; and a preacher's wife, coming to voice about the realities of congregational Christianity held redemptively in covenantal love. Fruit of decades in theological education, these pages demonstrate the necessity of sacred bewilderment for deepening spiritual maturity, the purposes of rage becoming holy when able to acknowledge its limitation, and an unexpected freedom that arises when forgiveness finds us in faith renewed in the Body of Humanity. Current and prospective students in theology and religion, seasoned pastors, and willing congregations will find a compelling narrative and theological sense-making of one woman's life in the Spirit, disrupted so to become regrounded in a renewed and renewing trinitarianism arising out of historic Christian traditions. |

| living on a prayer: Living in an Icon Robert Gottfried, Frederick W. Krueger, 2019-08-17 Helps bridge the gap between love of God and love of nature. Many people experience God most strongly in nature but do not know how to incorporate this experience into their spiritual life.

With a step-by-step approach, this book provides a framework integrating asceticism with the contemplation of nature. Each chapter contains a “take it home” section for applying the lessons learned outdoors to everyday life, connecting God and nature as seamless components of spirituality. Topics include gratitude, delight, appreciation, wonder, discernment, reverence, mortality, love, beauty, humility, silence, and hope. |

| living on a prayer: The Number Ones Tom Breihan, 2022-11-15 Beloved music critic Tom Breihan's fascinating narrative of the history of popular music through the lens of game-changing #1 singles from the Billboard Hot 100. When Tom Breihan launched his Stereogum column in early 2018, “The Number Ones”—a space in which he has been writing about every #1 hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, in chronological order—he figured he’d post capsule-size reviews for each song. But there was so much more to uncover. The column has taken on a life of its own, sparking online debate and occasional death threats. The Billboard Hot 100 began in 1958, and after four years of posting the column, Breihan is still in the early aughts. But readers no longer have to wait for his brilliant synthesis of what the history of #1s has meant to music and our culture. In The Number Ones, Breihan writes about twenty pivotal #1s throughout chart history, revealing a remarkably fluid and connected story of music that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. The Numbers Ones features the greatest pop artists of all time, from the Brill Building songwriters to the Beatles and the Beach Boys; from Motown to Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey; and from the digital revolution to the K-pop system. Breihan also ponders great artists who have never hit the top spot, like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and James Brown. Breihan illuminates what makes indelible ear candy across the decades—including dance crazes, recording innovations, television phenomena, disco, AOR, MTV, rap, compact discs, mp3s, social media, memes, and much more—leaving readers to wonder what could possibly happen next. |

| living on a prayer: Living in Sync Dr. Mishael Carson, 2025-01-10 Have you ever felt out of step with life, like you're missing something, or forcing something that just isn't meant to be? Perhaps you've rushed ahead, only to face frustration and unintended consequences. Or maybe you've hesitated, allowing fear and doubt to steal precious opportunities.

| living on a prayer: Living on Your Own Terms Osho, 2013-03-12 In Living on Your Own Terms: What Is Real Rebellion?, one of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers reveals how you can resist the rules and regulations that oppose your values while retaining your own individuality. “People can be happy only in one way, and that is if they are authentically themselves. Then the springs of happiness start flowing; they become more alive, they become a joy to see, a joy to be with; they are a song, they are a dance.”—Osho Decades after the rebellions of the 1960s, new generations are again challenging and rebelling against outdated structures and values, focusing on political and economic systems and their failings. But this generation has the opportunity and responsibility to move the development of human freedom to the next level. Osho’s philosophies will support these future generations in expanding their understanding of freedom and pushing toward new systems for humanity. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world. |
| living on a prayer: Gospel J.D. Greear, 2011-10-01 Could the gospel be lost in evangelical churches? In this book, J.D. Greear shows how moralism and legalism have often eclipsed the gospel, even in conservative churches.

The book’s core is a “gospel prayer” by which you can saturate yourself in the gospel daily. Dwelling on the gospel will release in you new depths of passion for God and take you to new heights of obedience to Him. Gospel gives you an applicable, exciting vision of how God will use you to bring His healing to the world. |
| living on a prayer: Living on the Edge of the World Irina Reyn, 2007-06-05 Mobsters. Big hair. The smelly Turnpike. The poor cousin of its glittering neighbor Manhattan. Could that really be all there is to New Jersey? In Living on the Edge of the World, the best and brightest young writers from the much maligned state answer back with edgy, irreverent pieces of nonfiction paying tribute to New Jersey's unique place in the cultural consciousness. Like a drive along the Garden State Parkway, their stories travel to just about every corner of the state, from Princeton and Hillside to Camden and Hoboken. In Straight Outta Garwood, Tom Perrotta writes of the near inescapability of returning to his home state again and again in his novels; in Exit 15W, Joshua Braff tells how all roads led back to the Jersey Girl he'd fallen for as a seventh-grader; Kathleen DeMarco takes a nostalgic look at her grandfather's cranberry bog in The Family Farm; Jonathan Ames recounts a failed attempt to consummate his flirtation with a boardwalk beauty in Rose of the Jersey Shore; and Frederick Reiken offers an elegy to a high-rise in Fort Lee that opens his eyes to a new, dangerous world. A celebration of all that's weird and wonderful about the Garden State -- including Bruce Springsteen, the Nets, the Jersey Devil, the films of Kevin Smith, and Great Adventure -- Living on the Edge of the World will have New Jerseyans everywhere ready to stand and be counted. |

They are only saved by Livs unnatural ability to remain calm and take drastic, conclusive action on their attacker. What theyve shared draws them together, their relationship evolves quickly and Matt can barely retain even rudimentary focus on anything else. But it feels unbalanced - Matt can't shake the feeling that the beautiful, self-confident Liv is too good for him and that theres something shes holding back. Livs frequent fierce flashes of temper do little for his peace of mind. The story takes a seminal turn when Liv finally reveals her secret and a devastating attack on Matts life and friends leaves him to slide towards insanity. The book explores themes of love and friendship and what we can endure in their name. We see people obsessed, slaves to their instincts, unable to grasp a sense of reality or retain control of their emotions and actions. |
| living on a prayer: Spiritual Life on a Burning Planet David T. Bradford, 2020-10-09 Spiritual Life on a Burning Planet draws on scientific research in developing religious perspectives on anthropogenic climate change. Its four chapters are entitled Tolling Bells, Burning Planet, Eschatology in the Anthropocene, and The Downward Passage. Tolling Bells introduces the topic of climate change and several of its emotional and biblical implications. Burning Planet provides an overview of the science of climate change and surveys the effects of global warming on human life later this century. The essays in Eschatology in the Anthropocene develop theological interpretations of climate change and examine its moral, spiritual, social, and psychological dimensions. The Downward Passage focuses on Christ's descent, the harrowing of hell, understood as a point of doctrine and an exemplary image of forthcoming challenges as we advance more deeply into the Anthropocene. A spiritual path suited to the Anthropocene is outlined. Its watchword is penthos, a traditional practice with sufficient power to convey a person through the grief and mourning that represent a true grasp of our having forced the earth into a new geological epoch. |
