Too Busy Not To Pray:
Slowing Down to
Be With God
By Bill Hybels
Most
of us have trouble finding time to be pray. There’s church and school and
neighbourhood and job and friends and recreation. And then the crises hit! Time for prayer seems impossible to find.
As a pastor, Bill Hybels knows hundreds of people
with schedules like this. Yet in his own life he has made the hard discovery
that prayer doesn’t happen on the run. He decided he was too busy not to pray. The ideas in this practical
book can help us to learn to slow down to be with God as well.
Bill
Hybels is the pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, Chicago, Illinois.

'Engaging Our Neighbourhoods:
An overview of practical neighbourhood outreach and
how it relates to our gospel mission'.
Living the Gospel in our neigbourhoods and cities
in a relevant way changes lives and gives powerful witness to how faith in
Christ changes us as individuals and as a community. Explore and pray together
about how your worship communities can live the Gospel where you are. With more
than pancakes, Messy Church and bake sales we are blessed to be a blessing to
others so that they might glorify our Father in heaven.
