Don't Stop Praying: The God Who Hears Is Just a Breath Away

"Sharing personal insights from Matthew's faith journey and a Bible-based exploration of the power and meaning of prayer, Don't Stop Praying aims to help readers rediscover the thriving, intimate, and bold prayer life that Jesus desires for us. As Christians, we don't embrace the central truth of our faith that prayer actually changes the world - our conversations with God have an impact on eternity. Author and Grammy nominated songwriter, Matthew West, invites his readers to join him in an exploration of prayer sparked by the personal realization that over the course of his lifetime he has 'become really good at talking about Jesus instead of talking to Him.' Don't Stop Praying includes - Biblical examples that teach us how to pray, when to pray, and what to pray for; - prayer challenges and thought-provoking questions to be used in prayer groups or with a prayer partner; - different types of prayers available to readers and offer models of different prayers; and - Matthew's trademark humor and storytelling. We face challenges and difficult questions of grief and desperation, but the truth is, we are people of prayer."

My Story Your Glory: Discover the Journey God Has Planned for You?A 30-Day Devotional

"Discover how God's love can rewrite your story in My Story, Your Glory, a thirty-day devotional that explores how God's glory redeems every chapter of our lives-inspired by Dove Award-winning worship music artist Matthew West's song "My Story, Your Glory." My Story, Your Glory reveals how God brings hope into all situations in our lives. We all have hurts, mistakes, and losses in our lives that we wish would disappear. God promises that He will work all things together for the good of those who love Him. The God of mercy doesn't mark up our stories with a red pen; He blots out our sins and then comes alongside us, encouraging us to keep writing. Readers will learn how to find God's purpose in their pain and His message in their mistakes. By sharing his own highs and lows, West relates to readers and helps them to reflect on the less-than-perfect parts of their lives. Readers are pointed to examples in Scripture of people not much different from us, and how God, in His glory, redeemed their stories. In every way that we are not enough, our God is. West encourages readers to give God the glory in both the best days and worst days. Each entry in this devotional calls readers to: - Connect to God's Story and truth through selected Bible verses - Craft your story by recording your answer to a thought-provoking prompt - Share your story with God or others, inviting God to move through the Spirit - Live your story by bringing glory to God through concrete action My Story, Your Glory guides readers to call God into their story, giving Him the glory for all He's already done and waiting expectantly for Him to write the next chapter."

The Pirates

"The thirty-year golden age of piracy stretched into the early eighteenth century. During that time, as this vividly written book by historian Matthew West shows, poverty and oppression prompted many men—and even a few women—to sea in search of treasure, adventure, and sometimes revenge. The treasure taken in a single trip could net a captain many times the profit an average sailor might expect to gain over a lifetime. The Pirates provides an exciting glimpse into the characters, crimes, and legends created by the buccaneers."

Hello, My Name Is: Discover Your True Identity

"The world goes out of its way to make you believe you are not good enough. Maybe you aren't sure you like where you've been, or who you've become. Maybe someone has made you believe a lie about who you are by speaking damaging words to you. The discovery of our true identities does not begin by looking within ourselves, but by looking to the One who made us. Hello, My Name Is will inspire you to not wear the nametag that someone else gave you, but to wear the name of who God says you are. Your name may be "Lonely" . . . He calls you Friend. Your name may be "Failure" . . . He calls you Redeemed. Your name may be "Broken" . . . He calls you Beloved. It is time to tear off the false nametags that cover up your true identity. Understanding who you are begins with knowing Whose you are, so you can embrace your destiny as a child of the one true King."
