What is the point of reading the Bible?It can be read for information, for edification, and for comfort. All these readings can be useful. However, God's plan revealed in Scripture is not just information or a word of personal comfort. It leads the reader into a much deeper project. The human person is made for a purpose much more significant than personal salvation. Thanks to the covenant with God, there is a people who walk with Him. The biblical pages place this people within an overarching plan that gives it meaning and serves the glory of God.From Freedom to Praise seeks to place the reader within the fabric of biblical history.It therefore traces the broad outlines of biblical revelation, suggesting that there is a Lord capable of giving meaning to life. There is a people in which to live authentic solidarity. There is a project that can finally give man the pride of a true purpose.

“The purpose of Blessed Be Your Names is to come to know in our hearts the names of God and to grasp their fullest meaning, not for theological knowledge, but for my daily walk with the Lord. Each name of God reveals a specific characteristic of God's nature and character in His relationship with His people. God revealed these names to His people only when there was a need, in times of deepest crisis. This book is for every wounded believer who needs reassurance and hope during difficult times. Scripture is absolutely clear that if we consecrate ourselves to the Lord, we will have to go through fire. And this is the true reason why God revealed His names to His people: to offer them encouragement, hope, and life. I realized that I, too, wanted to understand the nature of my Lord: I wanted to know His heart towards us, His people, in our most distressed moments. Therefore, I chose to investigate in these pages the names of God that are most related to the times of trial and crisis in my life. In the same way, I believe that as you read these pages, you will find a special word of encouragement." David Wilkerson

Billy Graham, now over ninety years old, explores the challenges of aging while gleaning fundamental truths from Scripture.“Getting old has been the biggest surprise of my life. I never imagined what God had in store for me, and I know that as I draw closer to home, He will not abandon me on the last stretch of the journey.When many years of life are granted, getting on in years is natural, but aging gracefully is a choice. Growing older gracefully is possible for those who fix their hearts and minds on the giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.Explore with me not only the realities of life as we age, but also the hope and satisfaction, and even the joy we can have once we learn to view these years from God's perspective and discover His strength that sustains us each day!” (Billy Graham)

This could be the most astounding promise in the Bible: God yearns to know you intimately. In the pages of "Draw Near", Bevere urges you not to settle for a bland Christianity that knows about God without knowing God. The incredible invitation from the Creator of the universe is not simply to worship Him from a distance with words and rituals, but to enter into such a significant and intimate personal relationship with Him that you will know His heart and He will know yours. We often feel God is distant, but this is not due to God, but to ourselves. Material possessions, entertainment, and worship focused on our own well-being prevent us from drawing near to Him. But if we humbly open our lives to God, He will reveal Himself to us. Instead of providing a practical guide, John Bevere offers us a treasure map that leads to the heart of God. Re-establishing intimate communion with God will fill your life with joy and passion. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!” (James 4:8)

An exciting discovery of prayer that really works. But not a dull, sleepy kind of prayer. It is a prayer that storms the gates of heaven until things change. It is a passionate and sincere plea.

So she turned to the experience of the prophet Daniel for help. Daniel's prayer is not just any prayer. It is a prayer born under pressure. From anguish. From pain. From despair. Or it can be triggered by a sudden revelation of hope. By a newly received promise. By a miracle glimpsed on the horizon.
