Praying the Bible

When you pray, does it ever feel like you're just saying the same old things about the same old things?
Offering us the encouragement and the practical advice we're all looking for, Donald S. Whitney, best-selling author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, outlines an easy-to-grasp method that has the power to transform our prayer life: praying the words of Scripture.

Simple, yet profound, Praying the Bible will prove invaluable as you seek to commune with your heavenly Father in prayer each and every day.

Jesus faced incredible challenges and suffered agonizing trials, but there was simplicity in His relationship with His Father that we can emulate. And in that simplicity, we can realize our greatest fulfillment as believers. If your Bible study seems tedious and your prayer life wearisome, stop and rediscover how rewarding the simple Christian life can be.

Gathering together for worship is an indispensable part of your family's spiritual life. It is a means for God to reveal himself to you and your loved ones in a powerful way.

This practical guide by Donald S. Whitney will prove invaluable to families--with or without children in the home--as they practice God-glorifying, Christ-exalting worship through Bible reading, prayer, and singing. Includes a discussion guide in the back for small groups.

How do I know if I'm growing spiritually?
In the distractions of daily life, it can be hard to evaluate how we are doing spiritually. But monitoring the pulse of your spiritual health is just as important as monitoring your mental and physical health. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, bestselling author Don Whitney makes it easy to do a self-check on your spiritual wellbeing.

Quickly evaluate your spiritual state by asking yourself these 10 convicting diagnostic questions:

• Do I thirst for God?
• Do I still grieve over sin?
• Am I a quicker forgiver?
• Am I more loving?
• Am I sensitive to God's presence?
• Am I concerned for others?
• Am I governed by God's Word?
• Do I delight in the church?
• Are the spiritual disciplines important to me?
• Do I yearn for heaven and to be with Jesus?

By bringing the lofty idea of sanctification into a helpful and convicting spotlight, this concise and insightful book will transform your spiritual life. Now with a new discussion guide for group or personal use to help you dive deeper into each question.

Bestselling author Don Whitney carefully walks readers through the Bible's teaching on salvation and eternal life in this well-researched guide by addressing issues such as:

• Is assurance of salvation possible?

• Common problems that erode our certainty
• And more

Insightful and encouraging, this book will calm your spirit and point solidly to our living hope: Jesus Christ. Now updated with questions for personal study or group discussion that will help you dive deeper.

Every book Don Whitney writes is worth the cover price. How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian? is doubly so. Christians struggling with assurance of their salvation should buy and read this book. Pastors should buy a box of them to give to doubting church members. --Jason K. Allen, president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

If you have questions about your assurance or even somebody else's, you should read this book. Dr. Whitney's illustrations are superb, and his borrowings from the great theologians of the past are wise, stimulating, and well chosen. I commend his work highly. --James M. Boice, author of Foundations of the Christian Faith

'You're worth it.' 'You deserve a break today.' 'Do something nice for yourself.' Commonly heard phrases in this society are committed to self-gratification and individual rights. Doing things for other people is a waste of precious time, and asking for help is weak. So how do we build the church described in the Scriptures? In this day and age, how can we be a genuine community based on self-sacrifice and mutual commitment?

In Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church, seminary professor, author, and former pastor Don Whitney shows us how to build a sense of community and be active participants instead of passive attendees. Whitney looks at such frequently asked questions as: Why can't I get by on my own? Why should I go to church? Why should I give of myself to the church? Why do I need to worship in church? Couldn't I just worship in nature? Why does it matter whether I become a member of the church?

Committed love must mark the local expression of the body of Christ. By putting spiritual disciplines into practice in the church, congregations can return to the depth of community present in the New Testament church, where they 'devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.'

Finding God in Solitude explores the devotional piety of one of America's most important religious figures, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) of Massachusetts. In this book, Edwards' personal spirituality is evaluated, particularly in terms of its impact upon his pastoral ministry.
