"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22 KJV Prayer is a common feature in every culture, yet still is often misunderstood. Prayer needs no intermediary, is not an impressive display, and is most effective when prayed in private. Through prayer, we receive the Holy Spirit, the greatest gift from our Father in Heaven! Lord, Teach Us To Pray provides 30 Lessons on Prayer from the life and teachings of Jesus to help readers engage in the privilege of communion and fellowship with the Creator of the Universe. It removes the misconceptions we have about prayer so that we can pray with confidence, knowing that God is eager to respond to our every need. God knows what we need even before we pray and will answer each sincere cry to Him. Embark now on this journey to transform your life through prayer, and your character to reflect that of Christ.

This work is suitable for ages 8-14. Medicine was a mysterious art in the Middle Ages and had not yet benefited from the scientific discoveries we take for granted today. This astonishing new book illustrates how death and incurable disease were considered a common part of medieval life. Young readers will be fascinated by the history of the Black Death, or the Plague, which killed millions of people in Europe, and why medical treatments in the Middle Ages were often worse than the disease. The topics include: a timeline of medical changes through the Middle Ages; common medieval diseases and their causes, such as smallpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and leprosy; The Back Plague and the modern explanation for it; the Four Humors; operations and treatments such as bloodletting, cupping, cauterising; medicine makers such as apothecaries and housewives; famous doctors such as Hippocrates, Galen, Rhazes and Avicenna; and women's place in medicine.
