Praying With Saint Patrick
$18.99Add to cartLearn to pray with Patrick of Ireland and to find your story in his own
One of Ireland’s most beloved figures, St. Patrick was a man who lived a life soaked in prayer. A risk-taker in the service of others particularly women, slaves, and the poor Patrick spent years enslaved, in which he found himself praying all the time praying for freedom, for a warm place to sleep, or to return home. He never stopped. It was something he did with great intentionality, but also in the breath between one task and the next.
Praying with Patrick takes us on a journey through Patrick’s life, allowing us to pray alongside him using his story and his actual prayers to deepen and enrich our own prayer lives. Each reading features a quote from Patrick, a scripture, a devotion, and a prayer such as:
*A Prayer for Times of Trouble
*A Prayer for When We Feel Helpless
*A Prayer for HopeA Prayer for Freedom
*A Prayer for When You Don’t Fit In
*A Prayer for the Presence of Christ
*A Prayer for God’s Salvation
*A Prayer in Times of GriefA perfect gift for anyone who is fascinated by Ireland, the heroes of the faith, or prayer, Praying with Patrick will draw you deeper into conversation with a God who cares deeply about you and your needs, concerns, and worries. Just as Patrick experienced God’s presence in the rugged wilds of Ireland, may you experience God’s presence in a powerful and vibrant way.

Loving Disagreement : Fighting For Community Through The Fruit Of The Spiri
$16.99Add to cartWhat does it look like to love someone you disagree with?
Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It’s hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other.
We’re not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies–and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.
In Loving Disagreement, Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos bring unique insight into how the fruit of the Spirit informs our ability to engage in profound difference and conflict with love. As followers of Jesus are planted in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit grows and bears good things in our lives–and relationships and communities are changed.
*Each chapter features author conversations about the communal and cultural implications of the fruit of the Spirit.
*Book includes a glossary of social and cultural terms.
