Knitting into the Mystery: A Guide to The Shawl Knitting Ministry KNITTERS- there are some 38 million of them in the United States alone - are part of a tradition that's both plainly practical and deeply spiritual. With needles clicking, they weave together not just garments to warm the body but also comfort and companionship to nurture the soul. This tradition is flowering today through knitting ministries, a worldwide ecumenical movement of women's groups, gathering to pray and knit for those in need and those celebrating life's joys. As they create shawls for others, their handwork becomes an expression of their love - and of the loving care of the God who works through them. Knitting into the Mystery shares the stories of how this ministry has touch lives and hearts around the world. It offers directions for knitting the shawls and for starting a parish or community knitting ministry. It also provides a selection of prayers, written from many faith traditions, to offer with each completed shawl.

Power Through Prayer has been called "one of the truly great masterpieces on the theme of prayer." The term "classic" can appropriately be applied to this outstanding book. In twenty provocative and inspiring chapters, each prefaced with quotations from spiritual giants, Edward M. Bounds stresses the imperative of vital prayer in the life of a pastor. He says, "Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world." - Back cover.
