The strength of Puritan character and life lay in prayer and meditation. In this practice the spirit of prayer was regarded as of first importance and the best form of prayer, for living prayer is the characteristic of genuine spirituality. Yet prayer is also vocal and may therefore on occasions be written. Consequently in the Puritan tradition there are many written prayers and meditations which constitute an important corpus of inspiring devotional literature. From this source, Arthur Bennett has distilled the essence of many prayers and set out in modern form what he calls "aspiration units, the several parts of which could become springboards for the individual's own prayer subjects." - Back cover.

Valley of Vision Remix is a compilation of prayers and devotions, adapted from "The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers", that have been reimagined, rewritten, and refreshed in modern English by T.G. Melton. This particular volume of Valley of Vision Remix, focuses on praying to Our Triune God - the God who is: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three persons, but one God. One God, yet three persons.The prayers in this book engage with the mysterious Trinitarian nature of God, while acknowledging that even though he is fully present with us, he is also far beyond us. Hopefully, these truths will help us to pray with more intimacy and passion in the worship of Our Triune God; so that we will come to know the fullness of his heart, even when we cannot trace the direction of his hand; and so we will more deeply experience the nature of his love, even when we cannot possibly fully comprehend the nature of his being.

Valley of Vision Remix is a collection of prayers and devotions adapted from "The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers" that have been rewritten and refreshed in modern English by TG Melton. This particular volume of Valley of Vision Remix, focuses on praying to Our Triune God. So often in our prayers, we only focus on one particular person of the Trinity. In fact, we may have a practice of addressing God as "Father", or "Jesus", or "Holy Spirit." Certainly there is nothing wrong with this custom, however there is a danger in this habit as it may lead us to think of God as uni-personal, instead of tri-personal. When this happens we can subtly forget the robust and exclusively unique character of our God: That he is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three persons, but one God. One God, yet three persons. The prayers in this book engage with the mysterious Trinitarian nature of God, while acknowledging that even though he is fully present with us, he is also far beyond us. Hopefully, these truths will help us to pray with more intimacy and passion in worship of our Triune God; so that we will come to know the fullness of his heart, even when we cannot trace the direction of his hand; and so that we will more deeply experience the nature of his love, even when we cannot possibly fully comprehend the nature of his being.

An inspirational book based upon the author, Jonathan C. Hyatt's, spiritual journey as a Christian youth, throughout his adulthood. As a youth, Jonathan learns to unlock his heart by writing his thoughts and prayers in his letters to God; however, as a young man, life soon gets busy for Hyatt and he rarely finds the inspiration to write. His letters remain saved, tucked away, in a cedar chest, almost forgotten. Several years pass and his pen remains silent. At last, through the spontaneous kindness, of a young boy named Abel, Hyatt receives his inspiration to write once again. Suddenly, he begins to write his thoughts, reflections and prayers intertwined with Bible passages which speak to his heart. Inspiration later comes through his own personal struggles and his wife's battle with cancer. Encouraged by his family and friends, Hyatt's writing collection becomes a book, which he hopes will inspire many people, to a closer walk with God, in their spiritual journey.

In an age of scientific advancement and specialization, many Christians turn to medical professionals to direct them in stewardship of their bodies. While in many ways the advancements of medical science are a blessing, they are also largely driven by a secular mindset that, though it appears compassionate and to proclaim hope, is actually often subversive of genuine compassion and our hope in Christ. In Compassionate Jesus, Christopher Bogosh calls Christians to examine the pervasive “prolong life at all costs” mentality against biblical principles of care and compassion that are rooted in Christ. This is a call to enter into medical situations trusting in God’s sovereign care and the power of prayer. It is hoped that this book will begin a long-needed discussion among Christians about how we relate to modern medicine, encouraging us to allow the gospel to inform the way we engage the healthcare system.

Since the beginning of the biblical counseling movement in 1970, biblical counselors have argued that counseling is a ministry of the Word, just like preaching or missions. As a ministry, counseling must be defined according to sound biblical theology rather than secular principles of psychology. For over four decades, biblical theology has been at the core of the biblical counseling movement. Leaders in biblical counseling have emphasized a commitment to teaching doctrine in their counseling courses out of the conviction that good theology leads to good counseling…and bad theology leads to bad counseling. A Theology of Biblical Counseling is a landmark new book that covers the history of the biblical counseling movement, the core convictions that underlie sound counseling, and practical wisdom for counseling today. Dr. Heath Lambert shows how biblical counseling is rooted in the Scriptures while illustrating the real challenges counselors face today through true stories from the counseling room. A substantive textbook written in accessible language, it is an ideal resource for use in training biblical counselors at colleges, seminaries, and training institutes. In each chapter, doctrine comes to life in real ministry to real people, dramatically demonstrating how theology intersects with the lives of actual counselees.
