In sports, every athlete learns how to "play hurt" through injury. Playing hurt separates good from great athletes. Pastoral ministry is no different. Many times, in ministry the pastor must "play hurt!" The Pastor does not have the liberty to take time to heal. The only difference is that the owner of the organization understands how valuable the franchise player is and would not risk their player being hurt experiencing a career ending injury. It would be amazing if the church would take a page from the professional team owner's manual and protect the franchise player. Who is the franchise player? The Pastor. Playing Hurt invites you into eight difficult years of my life when God used discouragement, death, and depression to prepare me for ministry. This book will encourage the senior pastor, prepare the young preacher, and strengthen the pew member to understand that ministry hurts. Nevertheless, press on! Teron V.

James 5: 16 says, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." So, why is it Christians do not pray? Is it because they do not know the right words to say or they do not have enough time? Is it because they feel their prayers are not answered? Powerful Prayers, New Testament Edition is a tool to help put all these excuses to rest. Walk with us through the Bible reading prayers that will help you maneuver through some of the experiences you may have faced in life. Prayer is personal and powerful. When prayer is presented, it will be answered. God has guaranteed it. The power is not in the words. The power is in the One to whom we pray. As believers we should pray without ceasing. Unfortunately, prayer has become the stepchild of the Christian faith when it should be the foundation. As believers, we must understand how critical the daily discipline of prayer is to living a saved, satisfied and secure life. Teron V.
