Cross Wise Words An Acrostic Devotional

In daily life an architect who works with the intricacies of designing buildings that are both functional and beautiful, Larry Hovee has, with the soul and sensitivity of a biblical poet, designed a series of simple yet profound acrostics to show us the beauty of Jesus, the wonder of His salvation and the glory of God in His free grace towards all who will hear His voice and come to Him through His only-begotten Son, the crucified and risen Christ. The author’s aim is to provide a devotional volume that will be “a primer for returning to daily Scripture reading.” With a myriad of acrostic plays on words from A-B-I-D-I-N-G to Z-E-A-L, he succeeds in melding the heart of the Gospel to the Scriptures that show us our deepest needs and call us to new life in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Warmly recommended to readers of all ages... -Gordon J. Keddie, Pastor and Author. This hand-written book was a wonderful source of encouragement to my family as my husband was struggling with cancer treatments. The verses chosen for the acrostics were beautiful reminders of God's faithfulness and love. I'm so appreciative of this handcrafted book and the joy it brought to my family. -Elaine Cerbus, widow and friend The book came about as a result of going through a long, dark valley. It was first written for a church friend who was dying of cancer. It got its inspiration from ancient Hebrew and early Christian acrostics.

A companion to Tyndale's One Year Bible, this daily devotional offers insight into the quiet secrets of the mature Christian walk. Each day's reading corresponds to a passage in the One Year Bible. Previously distributed by Eastside Christian Church in Fullerton, California. Makes a great gift.

John Piper pleads with fellow pastors to abandon the professionalization of the pastorate and pursue the prophetic call of the Bible for radical ministry.

Psalm Prayers is a devotional companion to the Psalms and a practical resource for creating prayers for public worship. It is particularly helpful for those who lead services of Evensong from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, where the reading of the psalms and extemporary prayer are integral parts of the service. Stephen Cherry introduces each of the 150 Psalms and lays out its central theme before offering a prayer in response. Crafted with care in a traditional style that complements the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, these prayers are nevertheless fresh and immediate, vividly reflecting the concerns and pressures of today’s world. These prayers have been developed and used over many years’ experience in parish and cathedral ministry, and latterly in King’s College, Cambridge, and are suitable for both choral evensong in cathedrals and college chapels or simple, spoken services in local churches.
