Marriage & the Family

Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs by Emerson Eggerichs.  Emerson taught at our March 2009 marriage conference.  We highly recommend this book for couples who desire to enhance their marriage relationship.

 

Overcoming Hurts and Hang-ups

Healing Life's Deepest Hurts through Theophostic Prayer, by Edward M. Smith.  This book provides an introduction to Stonebrook's Renew Ministry, which uses Theophostic Ministry to minister to hurting people.  The book will show you how the light of Christ can set you free from lifelong fears, shame, false guilt, anxiety, and emotional pain.

 

Prayer

Power through Prayer by E.M. Bounds.  This is a challenging and convicting message that will stimulate you to pray and experience the power of God in your life.

 

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Philip Yancey.  Yancey strikes a moving chord with this book that is more full of yearning and wonder than it is of easy answers. Prayer, he writes, is our partnership with God, our chance to join forces with God's power to confront suffering and evil head-on.
