 A Book of Prayer: Rhythms of Prayer for a Modern World
by Carl Tinnion
How’s your prayer life? Need fresh inspiration? Need to reconnect? Here is a book to help.
Carl Tinnion (YWAM England’s Children and Youth Director) gives some fascinating personal insights into the topic of prayer, before encouraging us to develop a lifestyle of prayer — day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Even the size of the book is designed to help — small enough to fit in your pocket! Carl provides a large number of prayers to guide us on our way — some from well-known sources, but many published here for the first time. Prayers for all seasons, for all situations, for particular topics — often given extra authority with a quotation from scripture — plus some meditative prayers. An invaluable personal and group resource to assist us in living a life of prayer.

 Fanning the Flame: Dare to Let God Kindle Your Fire to Ignite the World
by Stacy Sells and Nanci Hogan
This book is a challenge: a challenge to see God use the ordinary to work the extraordinary, a challenge to anyone who has asked the questions, “Can God use me?” and “Are world missions worth it?” This is a first-hand look at a missions adventure that spanned four continents and 20 countries. The authors encountered Filipino communist guerrillas, were threatened with Nepalese imprisonment, and yet, as they travelled, God continually revealed how He can use unspectacular, fragile humans to accomplish His purpose and touch the world.
