The Lord is My Strength
by Eric KampmannIn his introduction to The Lord Is My Strength, Eric Kampmann places the psalms at the epicenter of the biblical narrative. Implicitly, the psalms weave all the way back to the creation story, forward to the advent of Jesus, and beyond to the end of times. And within this epic scope, the psalms tell the story of each one of us: our hopes, our dreams, our fears and conflicts in a way that ignites our imagination, providing a full and deep picture of who we are as we live day to day in our own time and place. The Lord Is My Strength was originally envisioned as a book of morning prayers posted on social media. But it quickly became more than that when Kampmann began posting a photograph and a short commentary along with the passage from the psalms. The result is a new book that will speak through words and pictures of the beauty, harmony and mystery that has been gifted to everyone who has the desire to see where they stand in God's story.Of Kampmann's previous book, Getting To Know Jesus, Publishers Weekly said, "Every aspect of human nature can be seen in Kampmann's fascinating daily readings…

The Lord's Prayer (Bible Daily Notes: Practical Application from God's Word)
by Jeff LucasIt must be the most famous prayer in the world, and we know it as "The Lord&’s Prayer"—the Paternoster of earlier days.I Jesus taught it to His disciples, and so it has been passed on. But what does it actually teach us? What are its founding principles, and why is it so vital? What does it mean to call God "our Father"? Aren&’t the heavens a long way off? And if we want God&’s name to be holy, how does that work? Jeff Lucas takes time to work through this "model of prayer" in depth, and gives us plenty to reflect and act upon, personally, and to pray for, globally. He looks at the topic of prayer itself—one so important to us as Christians yet so hard in practice for so many—and stresses that this is the community prayer: this is for us as a body, not just as individuals. Whether it is asking for our daily bread, forgiving and seeking forgiveness, or exploring what it means for God&’s will to be done, these Bible Daily notes are food for the brain and sustenance for the spirit.

The Lord's Prayer: Praying with Power
