DOWNLOAD EBOOKJonathan Aitken's conversion occurred at a time when he was experiencing the pressures of political life, a public trial, pleading guilty to perjury, being divorced by his wife, going to prison, and returning to "normal" life. Amid all the pressure of those years, he was discipled in such a way that he learned the discipline of daily prayer and kept extensive prayer journals. It is from these that he mined the material for this book. Essentially following the ACTS approach to prayer-Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication-Aitken also adds an element of contemplation: Our Relationship with God. His acronym, then, is ACTORS, and his collection of prayers and reflections is accordingly divided into five parts, all preceded by a narrative of his introduction to a life of prayer. "Since direct communication with God in prayer is surely the truest path for a spiritual journey," writes Aitken, "my prayer is that this small book may help others along that path."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Jonathan Aitken was in prison, he experienced a religious conversion. When he emerged into the light of day, he headed for Oxford where he read for and obtained a degree in theology. The Psalms have assumed a quite exceptional importance in his life. The Psalms are at the very heart of the Christian life and its liturgy - in them is found the whole range of human emotion, of triumph and despair. In this new book, Aitken expounds his own view of the Psalms, the fruit of much prayer, study and reflection. He has busy, stressed modern men and women and the forefront of his mind as he writes. Aitken was a successful businessman and financier before he ever entered government as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He is fully aware of the enormous pressures on people in countless walks of life - as speed of communication increases and more and more people are obliged to live with targets hanging over them like the sword of Damocles. Aitken writes 'out of the depths': he has experienced as profoundly as any of us the heights of adulation and the depths of disgrace and shame and he understands the meaning of repentance. This is an account of the Psalms tried and tested in raw human emotion. This book is designed to be kept in the top drawer of a businessman's desk, the satchel of a student, or the briefcase of a top flight lady executive.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Prayer (Volume 1) contains the following books: 1) Retreats for Spiritual Progress 2) The Way of Victorious Praying 3) Praying with Power 4) The Ministry of fasting 5) The Ministry of Praise and Thanksgiving A rousing revolution in the ABC and dynamics of prayer, fasting, and retreats for spiritual progress, this first volume presses the button and sets into motion the series of steps that lead anyone who calls on the name of the Lord, to cry to Him systematically and systemically in an intelligible and intelligent way daily. The books are cohesive and coherent, full of heart-to-heart exchanges between the author, his God, and the reader. By reading through them intently, you can build a loving relationship with the Lord. He is looking for true worshippers and those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth (John 4:20-24). You can withdraw constantly, consistently, and conspicuously every day on short and long retreats for spiritual progress in order to pray, read the Word of God, read books on the faith, meet God in Daily Dynamic Encounters with Him, and just relieve, relish, cherish and flourish in His presence. “Retreats for Spiritual Progress” demystifies retreats and makes them a possible, probable, and practical daily reality. You can have four or more retreats for spiritual progress every day without fail of just fifteen minutes each. You can have a 5-month retreat in seclusion like Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist (Luke 1:24). It could be 40 days like those of Moses, Elijah, and the Lord Jesus Christ. By diligently and earnestly going through this volume, you may resolve to become a person constantly in the presence of the Lord, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. “The Way of Victorious Praying” details the ABCs of prayer and fasting and provides practical direction as to how to pray for yourself, your leaders, the saints, the church, the ministry, the work, church planting, and many more. It shows you how to pray daily, record your prayer points in a notebook, fill it up when the prayers are answered, and have convincing proof to show both friend and foe that we have a God who answers prayer.
