Praying with Purpose: a 28-day Journey to an Empowered Prayer Life by Stephen
Nelson Rummage with Michele Henderson Rummage
This book was written by one of the pastors of the first church we visited once
Debbie had been cured of her cancer, Hickory Grove Baptist Church in
Charlotte, NC. The book was being used as the motivation for a month long
series of sermons on prayer, and in it Dr. Rummage perfectly described the
many lessons that we had just learned about the power of prayer and how to
pray. So many of the early chapters seemed to be speaking directly with us that
the book was an important part of our decision to join this church. At the time of
this writing, Praying with Purpose is available online at ChristianBook.com
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
This is a wonderful book for a couple or family to read together. It is broken
into 40 short (7 or 8 pages) chapters that are meant to be read and discussed on
a daily basis. For us the opening line said it all: "It's not about you." Once you've
realized that life is about something bigger than your own immediate needs, then
you're ready to think about why you are here and what you need to do about it.
