God’s Voice Within
God’s Voice Within is intended for people who know that there is more to the spiritual life than they are currently experiencing and are ready to take the next step in their walk of faith by making effective discernment – specifically Ignatian discernment – a daily practice.
Ultimately, God’s Voice Within teaches us to discern what is at the root of our actions and emotions, which in turn allows us to respond to God’s promptings inside us rather than unconsciously reacting to life around us.
Hearing God
Dallas Willard’s beloved classic Hearing God is designed to help you deepen your relationship with God by understanding how to communicate with Him. If you’ve ever found it challenging to discern whether God is speaking to you, this book will help you learn how to hear him as part of a deep and personal relationship with him.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do–avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.
Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.

In the Name of Jesus
For a society that measures successful leadership in terms of the effectiveness of the individual, Father Nouwen offers a counter definition that is witnessed by a “communal and mutual experience.” For Nouwen, leadership cannot function apart from the community. His wisdom is grounded in the foundation that we are a people “called.”
Prayer
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
Long obedience requires a deepening life of prayer. Peterson finds encouragement for today’s pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120–134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem. With prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, blessing, and more.
Daily Office – Print
The ancient Christian practice of beginning and ending each day with Bible reading and prayer is known as the “Daily Office” – as in the “daily service” or “daily duty” of Christians.
The Daily Office primarily consists of Morning and Evening Prayer (although there are other prayer times/services, such as Noonday Prayer and Compline, which is prayer right before bed).
It finds its roots in ancient Israel. God’s people were commanded to talk about God’s word “when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise” (Deut. 6:7). Our mornings and evenings (and the day in between!) are important to God.
Daily Office – Web
Daily Morning Prayer and Daily Evening Prayer are the established rites (offices) by which, both corporately and individually, God’s people annually encounter the whole of the Holy Scriptures, daily confess their sins and praise Almighty God, and offer timely thanksgivings, petitions, and intercessions. From the Book of Common Prayer (2019)
These prayers are excellent for use by Christians of any tradition, but this site is intended to accurately reflect the liturgy, calendar, and rubrics of The Book of Common Prayer (2019) of the Anglican Church in North America.

Liturgy
Every Sunday, our liturgy traces a single, ancient arc. We are gathered as strangers and neighbors into one body. We are prepared through prayer and Scripture to meet the living God. We are fed at the table where Christ himself is host. And we are sent—back into the ordinary world, carrying the truth and love of Jesus to everyone we meet.

Into the Place
Romans 5 begins with a cascade of past-tense verbs that carry stunning present-tense weight. "We have been justified." "We have obtained access." "We stand." Every verb describes something already done, with ongoing, permanent result. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we...
