Book of the Month for January

Do you ever sense that there’s far more to prayer, and to God’s vision for your life, than what you’re experiencing? It’s time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker—a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his prayers for his people.What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around? Sharing inspiring stories from his own experiences as a circle maker, Mark Batterson will help you uncover your heart’s deepest desires and God-given dreams and unleash them through the kind of audacious prayer that God delights to answer.

plus a BONUS BOOK for this Month!

Today's church is one that is largely impacted by the world rather than being the standard-setters of righteousness and justice. Using the Book of Acts as our model, it becomes quite clear that we have deviated from the effectiveness of the original body. A glance at the church's history reveals a pattern of polarization among Gentile Believers and Israel that has resulted in the power of the Holy Spirit, so mightily present upon the early church, withdrawing from the church. For those who long for the presence of God to return to His people in fullness, the matter of the Jewish people is vital. God made a covenant with Abraham that still maintains today, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you" (Genesis 12:3). In order to find our way back to His presence and power, there must be restoration of the church's Jewish roots in God's purpose and mission for Israel.
