Inspired to Pray: The Art of Seeking God

Exciting, revolutionary power is available exclusively to you as a Christian . . .

It is the supernatural power:

• To transform human nature
• To be the salt of the earth, and the light of the world
• To bring about a dramatic but peaceful revolution in those around you
• To face any crisis

You cannot buy this extraordinary power, nor can you find it by searching the earth for it. As a Christian it resides in you already, an awesome gift from God that you have only to claim and use once you know and accept its Source.

Christians are powerful people, Billy Graham reminds us in this inspiring and insightful book, because "we have the mighty power of God available to us through . . . the Holy Spirit," He comes to us with no conditions attached. Jesus simply said, "If I go, I will send Him to you."

With prayerful reverence and focused wisdom, Dr. Graham puts an understandable face on this mysterious third Person of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit is "not an impersonal force, like gravity or magnetism. He is a Person, with all the attributes of personality. But not only is He a Person, He is divine as well . . . . He comforts us. Guides us. Sanctifies us. He tells His servants what to preach. He directs missionaries where to go. He helps us in our infirmities. . ."

Read this amazing book and see anew how this Person can transform your life and give you the power "to be truly good" and "to live victoriously."

Many of you may be entrepreneurs who started your own businesses and were forced into sales to be successful. Or you were dragged into selling reluctantly because your job role changed. Some of you, like me, actually chose to make the move because sales sounded more exciting and lucrative. Regardless of how we all got here, we're in sales with personal goals that require us to find prospects to achieve them.

But where do we find those people?

I wrote this book as a resource for you, to aid in attracting prospects from your list of small and midsize companies. I've included loads of tips, techniques, and examples you can use to successfully draw prospects to you. I guarantee you that these strategies work. All you have to do is test them with your prospects and you'll see. As you read, pick out those strategies that feel most comfortable to you and try them. You'll know right away what works for you and what doesn't.

Use my ideas. Adapt them to the companies in your target segment. Learn from my mistakes and successes. I know you'll find as much good fortune as I did. Soon you'll have the problem of too many leads coming your way. And that's a problem we're all happy to have!

Share Your Successes! I'm very interested to hear about your successes as you try ideas from this book. I look forward to hearing how you adapted them for your own markets and the results you achieved! Share them with me and I'll feature YOUR story on our website.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace." "Cheap grace," Bonhoeffer wrote, "is the grace we bestow on ourselves...grace without discipleship....Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the girl which must be asked for, the door at which a man must know....It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life."
