Unlock the Connection and Vibrance You've Been Longing ForIf there's truly power in prayer, why do we only offer up quick pleas for help or lists of requests? It's because we've lost the biblical vision of what prayer really is: an exciting, risky, faith-filled journey that pushes the limitations of our imaginations--made possible through unrivaled intimacy with the Creator of the universe. With his trademark blend of honesty and encouragement, pastor Andrew F Carter shatters your preconceived notions of prayer, empowering you to· connect with God in ways you never thought possible· engage in open, honest, and transparent prayer· experience emotional healing· overcome common hindrances to a vibrant life of prayer· cultivate an expectant, consistent prayer life· discern answers to your prayersFulfillment, transformation, and eternal impact await you--and it starts when you talk freely with the One who can do exceedingly more than your wildest dreams.

He's just like every other kid . . . except he's a vampire, lives in a traveling circus full of zany monsters, and his best friend is a dragon named Brannie. When Kevin's family's circus, Carnival Monstromo, runs out of money and gets stranded in a boring town full of humans, their only choice is to earn gold by putting on an impromptu show for the town’s residents. There’s a BIG problem though. Seventy years ago, a scary monster called the You-Know-What destroyed the town and, ever since, they have a strict no-monsters policy. When noise from the circus wakes up the creature, the townspeople are furious at Kevin and his family. Now, the You-Know-What is on the loose and out for blood. Can Kevin and his new friend, a human girl named Susie, stop the monster, and save the town before all is lost?
