Скачать книгу - The God Who Prays

The God Who Prays is a spiritual reading of Jesus' farewell prayers. Jesus began his upper room discipleship sermon on his knees, washing the disciples' feet, and he ended it with his eyes raised to heaven, consecrating himself and his disciples to the will of the Father. For Jesus the line between communion with his Father and conversation with his disciples is very thin. Dialogue and devotion go hand in hand. His Glory prayer and his Gethsemane prayer, along with his prayers from the cross, transform the disciples from pre-passion inquisitiveness and doubt to post-passion devotion and discipleship. Through answered prayer Jesus shifts the disciples from training mode to mission. His example inspires us to ask how thin the line is between praying and living. Prayer's promised efficaciousness, «whatever you ask,» is locked in to our relationship with the triune God. The Father is the source of every good and perfect gift. The Son, in whose name we pray, gives the purpose and the passion for «whatever» we ask. And our Advocate, the Holy Spirit, guides us into all truth. On the eve of the crucifixion Jesus teaches us how to pray.

In Praystation sind 99 solcher Brucken und Bilder gesammelt, die helfen, in der christlichen Jugend- und Gemeindearbeit Orte der Begegnung mit Gott zu schaffen. Sie zeigen, wie vielfaltig das Gesprach mit Gott ist.
Deshalb sind zu den Themen Dank und Anbetung, Bitte und Furbitte, Klage, Vergebung und Neuanfang, aus Glauben handeln, Zuspruch und Segen praxiserprobte Gebetsstationen enthalten. Zusatzlich gibt es Workshops, Gebetsaktionen und Themenketten. Neben einem Uberblick uber Bibelstelle, Ort, Vorbereitungszeit und Material gibt es eine thematische Kurzbeschreibung, eine Anleitung zur Umsetzung und auch eine Textvorlage fur die Station.
Fur alle, die mit Gebetsstationen im Gottesdienst, bei Gebetsveranstaltungen, in einem Gebetsraum, fur Mitarbeitende, auf Freizeiten oder zu anderen Gelegenheiten Brucken zu Gott bauen mochten.

Texas cowboys Billy Birthday (aka Shortcut) and Wallace F. Fidgle (aka Tapes) are touring Florida to see the lighthouses there. In the midst of a storm, they give a ride to a jogger who turns out to be the governor of Florida. And as soon as they drop him off, he's murdered. Stuck in a hotel on remote Gasparilla Island by the vicious tropical squall, the pair are accused of murder by the Lieutenant Governor, who has them arrested them and begins building a case against them. Meanwhile, Shortcut becomes involved with the lovely ex-nun Mary Lynn, who could well be the killer. Events are complicated by political intrigue and a drunken Florida Trooper. And they all must face a possibly disastrous arson fire at the hotel. The more Shortcut learns about the oddball characters stranded at the Inn, the more he sees that each one had a motive to kill the governor. As the storm lashes the island, the two friends must solve the murder in order to save themselves, avoid the killers, and rescue the kidnapped Mary Lynn from a fate worse than death. An absolutely first-rate mix of crime and comedy!
