J.C. Ryle was well known for his warm, plain-spoken candor, the kind which appeals to all souls regardless of rank or title, and this short book is no different. Bold, encouraging, and affectionate, A Call to Prayer is just as the title says-an earnest invitation for all children of God to come before Him in prayer. Read it, be edified, and have hope: you have access to the Maker of heaven and earth who can do all things.
In this classic book, Ryle charges the reader with the necessity of prayer. He cuts through the excuses and the pretense with the simple question: Do you pray? Ryle's style is concise and imminently readable. He argues that prayer or the lack of prayer is the single greatest barometer for a person's status before the Lord, for to be prayerless is to be without Christ, without God, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
Ryle goes beyond the question to the meat of the issue, giving strong arguments for why prayer is so necessary for the spiritual well-being of an individual. Once he has made his point, Ryle turns his attention to how a person should pray. This work of prayer, according to Ryle, is so often neglected because it is such an arduous task cutting against the flesh and standing (or kneeing in this case) in direct opposition and defiance of Satan himself.
Ryle encourages the Christian to pray with reverence and humility, spiritually, as a regular part of their business of life, with all perseverance, in earnestness, in faith, with boldness, with fullness, on behalf of others, with thankfulness and with watchfulness over one's prayers. In one of the many quotable phrases from this book, Ryle challenged readers to tell me what a man's prayers are, and I will soon tell you the state of his soul, concluding that prayer is the spiritual pulse. This book is a wonderful and encouraging read for any Christian desiring to walk more closely with God through prayer.
Worship leaders, vocalists and every member of the body of Christ; You are a singer! You are called to sing the new song to the Lord. This is what you were born for. All throughout scripture we see the biblical command to sing to the Lord. But in our performance driven, celebrity culture, we have left this command up to the professionals.
Called to Sing will show us scripturally how we are all singers. It will demystify prophetic worship and show you through practical tools how accessible and attainable it can be. Singing was always meant to be simple. Diving into scripture, this book will give a brief biblical history of prophetic singing beginning with the first prophetic song recorded in scripture the Song of Moses in Exodus 15 straight through the Hymns of Revelation. For worship leaders in the church, Called to Sing will show us how we can incorporate prophetic singing into our services and what the relationship is between prophetic singers and musicians. Through scripture and testimony, let this book inspire you to sing the songs from your heart to the Lord as well as the songs on the Lord's heart for His people. SING!

Hoy en día, la opresión del diablo es cada vez mayor contra la iglesia del Señor, por lo que es necesario orar de forma más espiritual y poderosa. Por eso, este libro se escribió para los que quieren escapar, los que anhelan ser cristianos victoriosos, los que desean ser guerreros de la oración y dar batalla continua al diablo.
Si los grandes héroes de la fe fueron hombres de oración, nosotros debemos seguir sus pasos a fin de ser los nuevos héroes, mediante el gran poder de la oración y la fe. Today, the devil's oppression is increasing against the Lord's church, so it is necessary to pray in a more spiritual and powerful way. That is why this book was written for those who want to escape, for those who long to be victorious Christians, for those who desire to be warriors of prayer and give continuous battle to the devil, and defeat him on all fronts. If the great heroes of the faith were men of prayer, we must follow their footsteps in order to be the new heroes, through the great power of prayer and faith.
In the mid-1950s, Songwriter and World War II Veteran John Redmond set out to teach children their catechism using catchy contemporary tunes. Those efforts resulted in two albums: Seven Songs on the Seven Sacraments with The Ten Commandments Song for Little Children, and Twelve Songs on the Apostles Creed. The idea took hold and these songs are beloved even today as an effective way for children to learn their faith by heart, and have fun while doing it The principal tenets of our faith, including the Commandments, the Sacraments, The Works of Mercy and the Articles of the Creed are all covered with these songs, which capture the innocence of a bygone era.
Most of these songs have been available on CD and DVD for several years; now for the first time, all the sheet music for these songs, as well as others John Redmond wrote for the Religious Music Guild, have been collected and arranged in one booklet Experience the joy of singing these heartwarming melodies with your family using these updated arrangements for piano, voice and guitar.
Free downloadable mp3s of the accompaniments are available from the St. Augustine Academy Press website, so that children can practice or perform these songs without the need for an accompanist. A newly remastered CD of this music, including two previously unheard songs and a clean early recording of I'm a Soldier in Christ's Army, is also now available from St. Augustine Academy Press.
40 Old Time Hymns is a new book of songs from the past, and in my opinion, golden times. These 40 beautiful pearls are intended for people who, despite all the daily problems and joys, are still aware that God and the teachings of Jesus Christ are always present among us. And if we most often turn to him in the face of various difficulties, it is right to remember him even in a moment of joy and free time, in our minds and with songs.
Songs from the Old Time Songbooks series, as always, I adapted for individual instruments, mandolin, guitar, cigar box guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, etc. This way, any musician can play them on their favorite instrument. However, several musicians with different instruments can also play songs together. The songs are written with chords for the chosen instrument, and the melodies are presented with notes and tablature. You will also find audio recordings of all the songs at www.lovelymelodies.com.
If I have simplified the melodies and accompaniment with chords in previous books, this time, I have kept the original harmony to a certain extent in the songs. So there are a few more chords, but the result is a collection of quite melodic songs that remind us of the harmony of days gone by and the harmony of the Creator.
May harmony permeate us all, Peter Upclaire.

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer. -- J. C. Ryle
J. C. Ryle observed that private prayer is both the most important and the most neglected of the Christian disciplines, so he delivers this passionate and reasoned call to private prayer. As ever Ryle is clear, direct, practical, soul-searching but warm and encouraging--never sentimental.
This is a attractive hardcover edition.
