Who kidnapped Jeremiah?

What was Zechariah's craziest nightmare?

Which prophet saw bones rattle into life?

Relive the adventures of God's prophets, from Isaiah to Malachi.  Read again, in today's language, the message they brought from God - a message with impact for our modern world.

...say modern men and women.  But Barbara Jurgensen surveyed the 1960s scene from automation to racial tensions...from heart transplants to the hippie culture...and showed in crisp, sometimes humorous, but always incisive prose, how very relevant God is today.

So you are trying to deal with all those everyday pressures, stresses and strains - and all the time you're complaining about the jungle of life and feeling so sure that there is no help for you. But even while you keep telling everybody that God doesn't even know you exist, God is ready to jump into your rat-race and give you a hand.

Throughout our lives, through the burdened days and the joyful ones, Jesus comes to us bringing us new life, hope and purpose, and calls us to follow him.  These prayers and meditations are contemporary conversations with the One who spoke to people in the language of their everyday lives.

As we read these prayers alone or with others, they become our prayers.  They tell us we are chosen and we are loved.  We have been set free from bondage to sin, death and the forces of evil by Jesus' death and resurrection and have been sent forth in his name.
