We all face critical forks in the road-marriage, the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, or a personal health crisis. How are we to pray at these junctures? Perhaps our instinct is to send up a quick "911" prayer, but authors John Hull and Tim Elmore demonstrate how by praying the right prayer at the right time, we can see the incredible impact of what God can do. Scripture offers countless examples of men and women who prayed strategically and saw results. Remember Solomon's prayer for wisdom? He received it-and wealth beyond his imagination as well. And how about Hannah's desire for a child? God honored her prayer; her son Samuel became the greatest judge in Israel's history. Pivotal Praying uses these examples and others to illustrate the power of effective-and ineffective-praying. For those seeking to enlarge their prayer vision and alter their circumstances for God's glory, Pivotal Praying is an ideal resource.

Many Christians who want to impact the world mistakenly assume that influence belongs only to the ministry front-man-not to the next tier of leaders and unseen servants. But the life of T. W. Wilson proves otherwise. As Billy Graham's closest friend and longtime personal assistant, T. W. Wilson turned his own valuable leadership skills to the task of supporting Billy and ended up influencing thousands of lives both directly and indirectly. His life is an inspiring testimony to the power of "next-level" servanthood to maximize the power of the church for the twenty-first century. Filled with interviews and stories from many of Billy Graham's associates and eight pages of photographs, this book offers a fascinating look inside the most successful evangelistic ministry of modern times as well as an inspiring blueprint for purposeful servant-leadership.

Prayer: The Sixth Purpose of the Church examines the Purpose Driven Church Model and argues for the inclusion of Prayer as a distinct and separate purpose to be included in the model. Through a thorough and exhaustive study of Biblical prayer, Prayer: The Sixth Purpose of the Church explains why prayer must be emphasized and practiced as a distinct purpose in the Christian Church if the church is going to truly be the instrument of change in a fallen society. Practical suggestions are given for individuals and believers as they strive to increase the emphasis and practice of prayer. “Once again Michael Burton has given us a gift through his scholarly work, Prayer: The Sixth Purpose of The Church. In a clear, decisive and effective manner Michael Burton explains why Prayer must be emphasized in the Church and in the individual believer’s life. Michael Burton, in an easy to read manner, gives practical suggestions on how churches might reinvigorate their corporate prayer lives and make prayer an exciting venture that the church and individuals anticipate and appreciate. Prayer: The Sixth Purpose of the Church is an indispensable resource that all pastors, ministers, seminarians, Sunday school teachers and Christians interested in a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ should have in their libraries.”
