The text called the “Seven-Line Prayer” is said to contain the most sacred and important teachings of the Nyingma school and is recited daily by many Tibetan Buddhists. White Lotus unlocks the secret of the prayer and explains its meaning on many levels. The author, Jamgön Mipham, was a celebrated nineteenth-century scholar who was known for his prolific, lucid, and original writings on many subjects, including science, medicine, and philosophy—in addition to Tibetan Buddhist practice and theory.

The Soul of Prayer was written by P. T. Forsyth (1848 - 1921), a British Nonconformist minister and author of 25 books and 260 articles. In this work, the author discusses the philosophical and scriptural principles relating to the prayer life of believers. He expounds on the inwardness, the naturalness, and the timelessness of prayer, and considers the vicariousness and the insistency of the practice. The Soul of Prayer serves as an in-depth resource for the earnest seeker on how to cultivate and maintain a fruitful prayer life.

Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity prophetically claimed that holiness is not exclusively the domain of priests and nuns but is truly for everyone. God created the human soul to be a special channel of His grace on earth and to serve as a unique image of His love. Few saints have spoken to hearts as acutely as St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, who has helped even the busiest, weariest, and most distracted of us create an inner chamber within our souls where we can rest in God’s peace and love.

In the years since the Godwins welcomed their first surprise guests to Ffald-y-Brenin, God has drawn thousands of seekers to this converted hill-farm with a tangible presence of healing and power.

If there's truly power in prayer, why do we only offer up quick pleas for help or lists of requests? It's because we've lost the biblical vision of what prayer really is: an exciting, risky, faith-filled journey that pushes the limitations of our imaginations—made possible through unrivaled intimacy with the Creator of the universe.

So many people in the world are suffering but don't know how to receive help. Some beg and plead with God. Some negotiate, promising that they will change their ways if only He will grant them this one request. But then, if their request is not answered in the way they desire, they lose faith or get angry or sink into despair. There is a better way. There is a method of praying for a miracle that guarantees the best possible chance of getting a yes from God—or at least alleviation of our stress and satisfaction for our souls.

The great American revivalist Charles Finney, without a doubt, left an enduring impression on Earth. To this day thousands of lives are impacted and transformed by his ministry. He is largely known for the incredible miracles that God worked through him during his ministry years, and many have sought to walk in the same level of power he did. However, Finney was very clear that the only way to walk in any significant level of anointing was through the doorway of prayer. Not dead, formulaic, religious prayers, but deep, intimate time with God; especially the Holy Spirit.

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.

Christians have just as many problems as anyone else. Financial concerns, marital discord, illness, loneliness, church splits: you name it, Christians have them. That's discouraging, and sometimes we compound these problems by imagining that problems are God's punishment for our past misdeeds. This is especially true if we fail to see God at work in our lives, if we aren't enjoying a rewarding prayer life, or if our relationship with the Lord seems to be at a distance. In Problems, God's Presence, and Prayer, Michael Wells shows how you can experience the joy of a closer walk with God.

In the teachings of Christ, we are warned, "No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24), emphasizing the spiritual danger of greed. Yet, the Bible also compels us to provide for our families, declaring in 1 Timothy 5:8 that failing to do so is a denial of faith. This duality of financial stewardship—balancing material responsibility with spiritual integrity—is at the heart of "Prayers for Financial Miracles." Throughout history, many saints have navigated their own financial hardships, turning their trials into testaments of faith.
