A Year in Prayer With Jesus by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description Do you struggle with the idea of a daily prayer life? Have you ever found yourself asking along with the disciples, "Lord, teach us to pray"? Then this book is for you. Let us join the disciples as we sit at Jesus' feet and join Him in prayer. . . for an entire year.
It is important to realize that The Lord's Prayer is not a recipe for answered prayer. Rather, it is a recipe for increased relationship with the One Who desires to answer our prayers. There is a very specific order in which Christ says we should approach God the Father. This order, if followed, brings the child of God into a place of gratitude, humility, and reverence. It seeks to bring the heart of the prayerful one into alignment with what beats God's heart and it moves the Christian to put feet to their prayer life.
It is my desire as you go through the coming year with me, that you'll gain a practical, living understanding and personal experiencial insight into the realm of prayer that will lift you above the materialistic tendencies; above the selfish motives; above the need for instant gratification and attention, and into the realm of God's heart not just for you, but for those around you; not just for your own issues and needs, but those around you, and lastly, that you will experience the richness of just "being" in His presence.

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "It was then that an unmistakable sensation came over me, as if God were holding me in a 360 degree embrace and saying, "NOW I can love you!" Fresh tears began to flow as I sat there soaking in a love I had never anticipated could ever flow from God to me. I honestly had never learned that God could touch my emotions. I had never expected that God's love and talk of His Bride would be anything more than ethereal head knowledge found in the pages of Scripture. Needless to say I had to go diving through the Scriptures to make sure I hadn't suddenly snapped and fallen off the deep end. What followed led to the lessons, discoveries and revelations found in this series!"
Becoming the Bride of Christ chronicles Marilynn's personal journey as she learn to live with God as unseen Husband and Father in the home. It's about learning to appropriate many Scriptural concepts that we've overly spiritualized, and bringing them down to where life is lived every day. This book can be read as an account of the lessons God's actively teaching her, or it can be engaged in as a personal or group Bible study. There is quite a bit of Scripture in every chapter, as well as questions to help a person appropriate these lessons into their own life. One of her goals is to share a story that men as well as women can read and glean from. Too often it seems presentations on the Bride of Christ have been geared toward women when Scripture says the Church, who is referred to as the Bride of Christ, is made up of men and women. Marilynn write from a women's perspective of course, but it's her desire that men will be able to gather helpful insight, not just women. After all, we are all called to live out the commands of Christ in our everyday life.

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "God's been speaking to me so much about His love and how it affects areas of life I never really thought about before, areas that I'm realizing are almost impossible to achieve victory in apart from His love working in me. It honestly amazes me. Truly we can do nothing apart from the transforming work of God's love through the Holy Spirit in our lives. All our best efforts apart from this love are just so much wood, hay and stubble. Imagine what would happen to our churches if more of us made this realization. I have to admit it's a realization fraught with discoveries of just how soiled a heart can be and the needed washing and cleansing that has to happen as a result of the light of God's love being shone on it. But as long as I can keep from recoiling, as long as I can keep choosing to present my heart wide open to my Lord, as long as I don't shrink back from the transforming work going on in my life, then I can look forward to what is ahead."

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "Clearly to God, holiness is a beautiful thing. . . a Christian that sets themselves apart from worldly influences in order to please a holy God, brings a smile to His face and pleasure to His heart. It tells Him that this person genuinely wants to please Him and will literally do anything to bring that about. This is the kind of person God wants relationship with!"

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "I was recently reminded of why I choose to lose myself in moments of praise and worship regardless of my circumstances. It is only when I take my eyes off what is going on around this home and put them on Christ, that I can engage in and experience feelings of joy, gratitude and love, and seek to touch my Lord's heart. It is so comforting, so reassuring and so quieting, that God overlooks what seem to me to be such faltering, failing attempts to love those around me, and yet seek to love me Himself in such incredible ways."

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "Indeed. . . God sets the solitary in families. . . the lonely among those who care. . . Through the efforts of some of those among my church family's pastoral staff, the glass walls began to crumble. . . It was fearful at times, especially when big chunks of those walls fell down leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable for a time. . . But God in His wisdom had placed the right people in my life at precisely the right time to help me through, to draw me out, and as a result, to bring me to that place of healing and restoration I keep talking about. In light of the past few years, this verse really is a comfort tonight."

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "I saw a tidbit one day, of someone not understanding why anyone would sing of falling in love with God, or why anyone would sing of God desiring to love us. They asked if they should glorify God or send Him flowers. . . God says in Scripture that He longs to take us under His wings as a mother hen gathers her chicks (Psalm 91:4, Matthew 23:37). God says He sings over us and rests in His love as He does so (Zephaniah 3:17). God says He thinks about us all day long, that we are always on His mind (Psalm 139). God says He sees our pain, gathers our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8), and seeks to meet our needs as we give place to Him in our lives, and many times without us even being aware that He's caring for us so much."

Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey by Dawson, MS Marilynn
Description "This is not your typical lightly feathered daily moment of uplifting encouragement. Instead, you hold in your hand an outline for boot camp as you travel with me through:
• discoveries,
• revelations,
• lessons regarding what it means to get closer to God's heart,
• the cleansing fires of God's love,
• and scratch the surface of what it means to live this out in every day life where the rubber meets the road.
You and your group are about to become both a fly on the wall to the thoughts of my heart, as well as fellow participants in probably one of the most intense periods of growth I have ever been through!"
