    About this ebook

    There is perhaps no Christian virtue more undervalued than intentionality. Although we know God calls us to be set apart as followers of Jesus Christ, that is, to march to a different drummer, we find ourselves not at all very different from the world around us. Living Intentionally before God is a summons to redeem the quality of being intentional--of being purposeful--in all areas of our lives as we seek to live before the Audience of One.

      The Garden of Prayer

      Mar 26, 2022

      It’s that time of year again—when people of all ages set up their window boxes and tramp out to their gardens. They turn the soil, poke a seed into the hole and cover it up. They water. They wait. They weed. All for the anticipated delight of a shoot

      “WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU could do better?” a friend asked me recently. Without missing a beat, I quickly replied, “Sing.” I’ve long admired those who have voices that can croon any type of music—Christian, opera, R&B, pop, jazz, or country. I love to si

      I SPENT FOUR DECADES PRAYING a prayer Jesus didn’t want to answer. My prayer was framed by what I knew was possible, not by reliance on the limitless creativity of Jesus. The always faithful One knew He should ignore my idea and go with His own plan!

      I READ THE BIBLE THROUGH twenty-first-century lenses, so it’s not unusual when some of the terms or wording strikes me as curious. Luke 9:18 is one of those verses for me: “Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him.” So which was i
