God, Help Me

How to Grow in Prayer

Jim Beckman

“If you want to know who you are and why you’re here, start praying every day.”—From Chapter One

You’re in your teens, your twenties, your thirties and you’re wondering—does prayer have anything at all to do with your life? You don’t pray, at least not regularly, and you don’t really know how. On the other hand, if God is who he says he is, and if he communicates with us through prayer, as Scripture and the saints and plenty of ordinary people say he does, then clearly you’re missing out on something huge.

In God, Help Me, Jim Beckman will not only introduce you to the wisdom and teaching of the Church regarding prayer, he will also provide tools that will help you achieve real intimacy with God. Nothing can replace that relationship with God, and nothing can get you there except the mysterious, unfolding experience of daily prayer. For more information, click here.

Have You Met Jesus?

Meeting Jesus In the Gospels

George Martin

"We would like to meet Jesus. We would like to have walked with him along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, listening to his words, experiencing his love. We envy those who did, whom he called his friends (John 15:15). And we look forward to being with him in eternity, when we will "see his face" (Revelation 22:4) and experience the fullness of his love. But even now, here on earth in the twenty-first century, we yearn to know him better."

--From the Preface

If you want to meet Jesus, Meeting Jesus In the Gospels introduces you to him, as he is revealed in the gospel. Martin's lively reflections on stories from Scripture help us to get to know Jesus. He shows us the mercy, comfort, power and forgiveness of Jesus. Even better, he helps us see how time and again Jesus leads us out of our anxieties and into his steadfast presence and peace.

In uncertain and changing times, our hearts long to be close to Jesus. George Martin is the teacher who helps us learn about him and experience his close presence today. To order this book, click here.
