Once our children begin school, time with them is greatly decreased and other people begin to influence their lives. It is one of the most crucial times for us to be intentional in discipling our children. But how do we do it? And when can we do it with our busy schedules?We disciple our children by reading the Bible, discussing how to apply it to our lives and then praying together for God to continue to make us more like Him. Praying with Your Kids Before School will guide you to do just that each day of the school year. You don't have to start in August, you just have to start. Remember, prayer changes us. Prayer brings us closer to God and each other by growing in our understanding of scripture and asking Him to help us to apply it to our lives. The sooner we bring this discipline into our homes, the sooner God can guide us how to disciple our children in the way they should go.Each week has a theme to explore in the Bible that can be prayerfully applied to you and your child's lives. Every verse is also paraphrased into an easier understanding for younger children, with a shorter prayer for them to recite, so that the book can be used on both older and younger children. At the end of each chapter there will be a blank page where you can write out a personal prayer related to the topic for your child. This book becomes not only a guide on how to disciple your child, but a precious keepsake of how you've prayed for them and how God answered your prayers for your child throughout the year.This one discipline, that can renew our minds, change our attitudes and impact our behaviors and decisions. If we are faithful to spend these few minutes with God in prayer, we can be transformed together to become stronger and to become more of who God wants us to be. One verse, one prayer just might change the trajectory of their lives!

This book offers an examination of the related topics of school prayer and character education in the United States, advocating for their return to public schools. According to William Jeynes, the lack of both school prayer and consistent moral instruction in our schools has had devastating consequences both for our education system and for the nation as a whole. In A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools, Jeynes makes a compelling case for restoring moral instruction and nonspecific religious moments to the classroom as a way of restoring a much needed moral grounding in American society in general. A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools traces the history of character education in the public schools, including coverage of leading advocates of their inclusion from Thomas Jefferson to DeWitt Clinton to Horace Mann. Jeynes then offers a broad survey of the country since the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963, asserting that most of America's greatest problems are moral in nature, and could be addressed by making moral instruction and a focus on the spiritual a part of our young citizens' school lives.

“A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer is a valuable and thoughtful book, and a very practical one, which can be put with confidence into the hands of anyone who wishes to learn to pray the Examen and to find the presence and action of God in their lives.” —Andrea Kelly, Thinking Faith Sometimes we can experience prayer as formal, dry, and repetitious. But what might happen if we discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? In A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer, Jim Manney introduces Christians to a 500-year-old form of prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed. The prayer is the Examen, which St. Ignatius Loyola developed for the purpose of nurturing a reflective habit of mind that is constantly attuned to God’s presence. What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere “up there,” detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created.

After nearly four decades of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered some important truths about prayer. His prayer life is much different than it was thirty years ago and the results have dramatically improved! You may be asking many of the same questions Andrew once did. Is prayer my Christian duty? Is prayer primarily about asking God to meet my needs and the needs of others? Is God's answer to my prayer based on the degree of my humility and sincerity? Is answered prayer a sovereign decision of God or do I have the ability to influence Him? Clear, scriptural answers to these questions and more could significantly change the way you pray. These principles may not be the only way to pray, but if you're not getting the results you desire, consider changing directions; maybe there is A Better Way to Pray.

A concise and readable guide to the first--and still most important--case that tackled the constitutionality of prayer in public schools. The decision evoked an enormous outcry from a wide spectrum of society concerned about protecting religious practice in America and curbing an activist Supreme Court that many perceived to be too liberal and out-of-control.
