When God Is Silent
$19.99Add to cartFor Christians, one of our earliest lessons–and greatest gifts–is learning how to pray. And yet many of us believe our prayer lives fall short. In When God Is Silent, John Koessler reassures us that this has nothing to do with motivation or method. Our problems are relational, and recognizing this is the first step to having a better prayer life.
Prayer is a conversation that moves primarily in one direction: from the believer who prays to the God who hears. If God appears silent, that does not mean that he is unresponsive. We always have God’s attention. This book does more than answer questions like how and why we should pray–it also invites us to gain a sense of God, of his goodness, and the rich welcome that is waiting for us every time we approach him in the name of Jesus Christ.

Practicing The Present
$14.99Add to cartEscape the tyranny of urgency and anxiety and learn to live fully present.
You know how sometimes you arrive somewhere in your car and don’t remember anything about the drive? You were on autopilot. Well, it turns out most of us live a lot of our lives that way–moving from one task to the next, one email to the next, one day to the next, only half present and missing a lot.
Practicing the Present teaches you to reclaim your everyday moments by engaging your ordinary present. Because as John Koessler points out, “It is the one who is fully in the moment and can be guided by the inspired intuition of the Holy Spirit that is best positioned for a breakthrough.” Koessler studies the life, prayers, and teachings of Jesus in order to present you with a thoroughly biblical perspective on the practice of mindfulness.
