During a 1990 visit to Russia, John Bernbaum and his colleagues received a surprising invitation from a Russian government official: come help build a faith-based university in Moscow. Thus, after 70 years of fierce religious persecution under communism, the Russian-American Christian University (RACU) was born.

Are you disgusted by aspects of yourself and wish you were different? Have you thought about harming yourself? Have you experienced rejection? Are you sure you’re a disappointment, inadequate or a loser? That’s where I was in my thought life, too. At the time, these thoughts against myself were my reality, but I didn’t know they were an outcome of how I had been treated and not the truth about me (or you) at all. I’m like you. One who was tormented by bad thoughts for decades. No more. This is my story. See what you think.

This audiobook begins with an account of the birth of John and of Jesus, the last representatives of prophecy in the house of Israel. The claim that Jesus is the son of God is firmly denied, as is the assertion of the pagans of Mecca that the angels are God’s daughters.

Jesus never taught his disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well.

With Christ in the School of Prayer offers a structured series of 31 short and concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the reader’s heart with a hunger for God’s presence.
